Officials welcome back Myanmar returnees at various land borders
Nay Pyi Taw, January 12
Myanmar nationals from abroad are being welcomed back at various border crossings this month.
On 11 January, a total of 57 returnees plus two monks — 24 males and 33 females – came back home through Chinshwehaw, Northern Shan State.
Healthcare officials from relevant public hospitals and members of the Tatmadaw Medical Corps conducted COVID-19 tests and provided quarantine entry documents for the returnees.
Next, instructions of the Ministry of Health were explained systematically and departmental officials provided necessary assistance.
The township administration bodies then escorted them to their respective places in passenger vehicles, and the infected people are kept in separate places to facilitate the necessary medical and administrative matters, officials said.
