"Myanmar authorities are preparing a project plan regarding preventive measures and response to COVID-19 for street children, according to the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement on Wednesday. "Our plan can't cover the whole country in present fiscal year and as an initial step, we will start our plan in the cities with most street children like Yangon and Mandalay," Dr. Tun Zaw, deputy director general of the rehabilitation department under the ministry, told Xinhua. Adding that efforts are being exerted to produce an effective plan, the authorities are trying to know what the street children need or what kind of support should be given to them while the awareness plans are underway to convert the preventive measures and instructions issued by the Health and Sports Ministry into the words and usages that the children can relate to, he said. A negotiation meeting relating to the project plan was held on Tuesday to work on the protection, rehabilitation and response to COVID-19 for street children community. During the meeting, discussions were made focusing on access to water sanitation, personal hygiene, nutritious diets for street children and their families, awareness campaign for COVID-19, vocational assistance, provision of masks, hand gel and other assistances to the street children during the period of virus outbreak in the country.
