Repatriated Myanmar sailors quarantined in Kawthoung Township

Sailors transferred on an international cruise ship in the Andaman Sea near Kawthoung in Myanmar waters as four sailors aboard the Singapore-owned MV Shun Li and 11 sailors aboard the Korean-owned MT Golden Creation signed off yesterday evening.
Fifteen sailors who signed off from the ships will be kept in a 14-day hotel quarantine in Kawthoung to control the COVID-19 disease.
Officials from the Kawthoung District Public Health Department said they would be allowed to return to their homes only if they have tested negative for the COVID-19 as per the guidelines of the Ministry of Health.—Kyaw Soe (Kawthoung)/GNLM
