THE Ministry of Commerce is making continuous efforts to ensure anti-COVID-19 medicines, equipment, and necessary medical supplies are being shipped from overseas, loosening restrictions to facilitate imports, in collaboration with relevant ministries and providing continuous import on a daily basis.
The
Ministry is also reportedly making diplomatic arrangements with China,
Thailand, Bangladesh and India to import the medicines and equipment from the
border trade checkpoints.
The
People’s Republic of China made an announcement on August 5, stating China is
cooperating with Myanmar in facilitating the importation of medicines through
border trade posts due to fault rumors spread by unscrupulous people to raise
people’s concern for their political gain, and to manipulate the market.
Yesterday,
a total of 5,874 oxygen concentrators were imported through the Yangon
International Airport, while 38.47 tonnes of liquid oxygen, 5 tonnes of oxygen
cylinders, 9,117 oxygen containers, 4 oxygen plants, 6,501 oxygen
concentrators, 51,400 PPEs, 30 tonnes of gloves and 210 tonnes of masks were
imported through Muse, Myawady, Chinshwehaw, Tachilek and Kawthoung border
trade points.
A
total of 269 tonnes of liquid oxygen, 52 tonnes of oxygen cylinders, 33,466
oxygen containers, 4 oxygen plants, 5 oxygen generators, 33,640 oxygen
concentrators, 141,642 test kits, 195,022 PPEs, 38 tonnes of gloves and 448
masks have been imported thus far in August.
