Mawlamyine, 12 May

91 Myanmar citizens returning from Malaysia will be kept under 21-day quarantine at community-based facility quarantine (CEFQ) in Mawlamyine City in Mon State.

Two hostels namely Hpa-an and Thaton in the compound of University of Mawlamyine were diverted into quarantine centers for the returnees. 91 returnees—75 men and 16 women—arrived at the quarantine centers early this morning. Necessary arrangements for the returnees were made by Mon State Minister for Bamar Ethnic Affairs U Shwe Myint, departmental staff, policemen, fiefighters, volunteers from civil society organizations, and rescuers.

The returnees got medical checks and were furnished with food by concerned officials.—Wai Lin (IPRD)
