Request For Quarantine: Appeal To Myanmar Citizens Returning Via Border Gates

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs appeals to Myanmar citizens returning to the country via border gates on 30th March. The Ministry requests to those who entered Myanmar through border gates would no longer be allowed to go to their homes directly and they would have to undergo a 14-day quarantine at the designated facilities arranged by the State without fail.

As the Union Government is in the process of expanding  quarantine facilities, those who will be returning to Myanmar through border gates are requested to  wait for about two weeks and return to Myanmar only after 15-4-2020.

As of 29 March, ten patients infected with COVID-19 disease have been confirmed in Myanmar. Among them, a 44 year old man re-entered Myanmar on 23 March, from Thailand through the Myawady Border Gate, and stayed in Mingaladon Township.
