A worker returned from Thailand is kept in quarantine at Monywa hospital as he suffered illness on March 23, said Dr Kyaw Thu Swe, leader of the Special Disease Control and Vaccination Team from Sagaing Region Health Department.

Health department and social welfare associations are cooperating to check the health of migrant workers returned from Thailand.

“We found out one of the migrant workers had high body temperature and sent him to the hospital. We will announce it in detail later,” said Dr Kyaw Thu Swe.

Other workers returned with him will be stayed in home quarantine for 14 days.

A total of 15 migrant workers were returned to Monywa from Thailand and they are from Ayadaw, Kani, Salingyi, Dabayin and Monywa.
