The Ngwe Ayar speedboat, which runs daily between Sinbo and Myitkyina in Kachin State, was shut down in July due to high COVID-19 transmission rates and resumed its journey from Sinbo to Myitkyina at 9:30 am yesterday.
For the speedboat service, the Sinbo-Myitkyina route will be operated weekly on Monday and the Myitkyina-Sinbo route will be operated weekly on Wednesday.
If the rate of COVID-19 infection decreases, it will return to normal every day, officials said.
“At present, high-speed cruises are scheduled to operate only once a week.
“The number of trips between Sinbo and Myitkyina will be increased sooner or later to solve the problems of the local people’s health and difficulties of the cargo associations,” said U Kyaw Hlaing, chairman of the Ngwe Ayar speedboat Association. —Myitkyina IPRD/ GNLM
