Officials welcome back Myanmar returnees at various borders

Myanmar nationals from abroad are being welcomed at various border crossings this month.
On 16 January, a total of four returnees – two males and two females – came back home through Laukkai, northern Shan State and 82 returnees – 72 males and 10 females – through Myawady, Kayin State, respectively.
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 were kept in separate places to facilitate the necessary medical and administrative matters, officials said. —MNA
