UNION Minister for Labour U Myint Kyaing and Yangon Region Chief Minister U Hla Soe visited Handa (Yangon) Garment Co., Ltd (Sport wears garment factory) in Shwelinpan Industrial Zone in Hlinethaya Township in Yangon yesterday morning and inspected the condition of the factory under the guidelines of COVID-19 preventive measures set by the Ministry of Health.
At the meeting with the officials
of the factory, the Union Minister said his Ministry is coordinating with Nay
Pyi Taw Council and respective region and state governments to supervise and
allow the operation of factories and workplaces following the COVID-19
preventive and control guidelines. If factories and workplaces have to be
closed due to the outbreak of COVID-19, it may harm the interests of the
employers and employees, and affect the productivity of the country which will
further weaken the economic development of the country, he continued.
He clarified that to improve the
working relationship of the people, any issue should be resolved constructively
and peacefully within the factory under the law.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak in
Myanmar from March 2020 to August 2021, factories, workshops and departments were
inspected by joint inspection teams led by the Ministry of Health under the
supervision of the Ministry of Labour and Nay Pyi Taw Council/Region/ State
governments. A total of 6,348 factories/workplaces/departments in the Yangon
Region were inspected whether
they were operating under the
guidelines of the Ministry of Health to control the spread of the COVID-19
virus among the employees.
Since 19 October 2020, a total of
206 factories/workplaces have been inspected via the Zoom application.
