Yoma Yeiktha in Dagon Seikkan to be used as temporary COVID-19 treatment centre

With the rising number of COVID-19 confirmed patients daily in Yangon Region, Yangon regional government is planning to create a new treatment centre to contain the spread of coronavirus.


U Phyo Min Thein, Chief Minister for Yangon regional government, Daw Moe Moe Suu Kyi, the Minister for Immigration and Human Resources, Dr Zaw Wai Soe and other officials inspected Aung Myint Moh COVID-19 treatment centre in Dagon Myothit (South) Township.


Then, the officials asked what is needed, and they planned to take measures to transform the quarantine centre in Yoma Yeiktha, Dagon Myothit (Seikkan) township into a treatment centre. Arrangements are being made to support the necessary things for the health staff and volunteer from the centre to run the operation systematically.


At present, only a few people are travelling on the road as Yangon regional government announced the stay home order in 44 townships to control spreading of COVID-19. The authorities concerned are cooperating to contain COVID-19 rapidly.—Myint Maung
