"Chinese authorities handed over 260 Myanmar workers returning from Wuhan and other provinces across China as well as detainees, said Thurein, administrator of Muse Township and chairman of the Township Covid-19 Prevention and Control Committee. “The returnees also included detainees. They have health certificates so we can roughly assume that they are free from disease. We will conduct necessary checks. For their quarantine, relevant townships will take responsibility. We will send them to respective townships if they are in good health with no body temperature,” he said. Chinese health authorities reportedly conducted health checks three times a day on the Myanmar nationals due to return home. Some were housed at detention centres and some at hotels or guesthouses. There are still a lot of Myanmar workers in China. “I went to China on August 31, 2019. I lived in Santon. In October I went to Hanchan. I arrived in Wuhan on November 11. The pandemic came not long after I started working there. So the factory had to close. Police arrived and I was arrested. They knew I was a Myanmar citizen. They took me to a police station and I had to have a blood test. In April, they took me to a detention centre. I was under detention for about a month. They came to me to conduct health checks three times a day. I didn’t hear Myanmar citizens were infected with the virus. There are still a lot of Myanmar nationals there. They have difficulty making money. They all want to go back home,” Aye Mar Khaing who worked at an air-conditioner factory..."
