PATHEIN, Irrawaddy β Cases against scores of Rohingya escapees have been dropped by the court in Pathein township of Irrawaddy Region on Wednesday ahead of growing fear of COVID-19 outbreak.

There are 97 adults with mostly women and 31 children totalling 128. The authorities didnβt disclose their plan where those people will be sent in Rakhine.
