Imphal, February 19 2020:
Considering the global panic over the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Nambashi Area Shanaolong (Leimashen) appealed all traders and the State Government to temporarily halt all business at the border of Myanmar from February 2020 onwards.
A press release from Nambashi Area Shanaolong also appealed the State Government and authorities concerned to mount strict vigil in the border area until the panic over Coronavirus is brought under control.
"Since the virus is highly contagion we need to stop vehicles bringing goods from China via Myanmar, through Tangkhul Naga Village.
There's a great risk of getting infected with the virus if we are not careful and we don't have medical facilities", it said.
