Local authorities have set up seven community based facility quarantine centres in Mawlamyine, the capital of Mon State, to keep returnees from Thailand for 21 days.
“Myanmar returnees from Thailand are expected to enter Myanmar at the end of this month. We have prepared for their 21-days quarantine at the university campus, education facilities and the Transit Centre.
A total of seven places could accommodate about 2,800 persons,” said U Wai Lin Tun, the administrator of Mawlamyine Township.
There are now nearly 300 persons under the community based facility quarantine at the university
dormitories.
More quarantine centres will also be established in other nine townships in Mon State for the returnees from Thailand at the end of this month.—Wai Lin (IPRD)
