Arrangements have been made to keep the Bangladesh nationals under official quarantine with the support of the upazila nirbahi officer (UNO) and the upazila health officer of Teknaf, according to BGB.
BGP detained them on charges of crossing into Myanmar from Bangladesh illegally at different times.
