A total of 129 Myanmar migrant workers from Thailand, 70 males and 59 females, arrived back in Kawthoung via Ranong in Thailand by waterway yesterday.

Most of them returned home from Phuket under the arrangement of Taninthayi Region committee for receiving and repatriation of Myanmar migrant workers.

Members of District and Township committee for COVID-19 prevention, control and treatment, departmental officials, and non-governmental organizations checked the returnees’ health conditions, and fulfilled other needs for them.

Out of them, those who are from other regions and states were sent back to their native places. In their wards and villages, they will have to receive community-based facility quarantine for 21 days, and home quarantine for 7 days.

Those who are from Kawthoung were quarantined in community-based facility quarantine centres for 21 days, and will be quarantined at their homes for additional 7 days. Then, their swabs will be sent to the National Health Department.—Kyaw Soe (Kawthoung)
