Myawaddy, 29 September

A total of 112 illegal Myanmar migrant workers including 84 men and 28 women who have been detained previously for crossing the border illegally were handed over by the Thai authorities to their Myanmar counterpart at the Myanmar-Thai Friendship Bridge-2 in Myawaddy Township, Kayin State this morning.

The returnees were warmly welcomed by departmental officials, and provided free medical check-up and other necessary assistances to them.

The returnees who are from Bago Region, Tanintharyi Region and Mon State will be allowed to go back home after being placed under ten-day observation at Semyone quarantine centre in the town of Mawlamyine, Mon State.

  
In addition, the returnees from other regions and states will be allowed to go back home after being placed under ten-day observation at the designated quarantine centres in the Town of Myawaddy, Kayin State. 

If they are free of COVID-19, they will be sent back to their place of residence. But returnees with COVID-19 should isolate for more 10 days.—Zar Phyu Win (IPRD)
