Kawthoung 20 March

A total of 101 Myanmar migrant workers were handed over by Thailand authorities to their counterparts in Kawthoung yesterday.

The medical staff checked the returnees from Thailand whether they were infected with coronavirus. As it was found that no one was infected with the virus, officials from Township General Administration Department and departmental personnel helped the returnees to return their homes safely.

The migrant workers were sent back due to the expiry of their cross border pass and illegal stay in Thailand without proper documents.
