A total of 135 Myanmar seamen stranded in the Republic of Korea because of suspension of commercial flights returned home by a relief flight yesterday.

The Myanmar Embassy in Seoul and Myanmar Seamen’s Federation jointly organized the relief flight of Myanmar Airways International (MAI) that landed at the Yangon International Airport. The Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population, the Ministry of Health and Sports and the Yangon Region government provided them with proper medical tests and arranged 7-day quarantine at specific places or designated hotels, followed by a 7-day home quarantine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been working with Myanmar embassies in foreign countries and local ministries concerned to bring back citizens stranded abroad in accordance with the guidance of the National-Level Central Committee on Prevention, Control and Treatment of COVID-19.
