The Ministry of Health (MoH) has issued a map with a red line across southern Bhutan from Samtse to Samdrupjongkhar that will be Bhutan’s second line of defence against COVID-19 given the rising risks along Bhutan’s southern borders.

The red line demarcates the high risk areas which are the whole of Samtse, lower parts of Chukha, lower parts of Dagana, whole of Sarpang, lower Kheng in Zhemgang, lower Pemagatshel and the whole of Samdrupjongkhar.

The MoH said that individuals in these high risk areas will have to undergo 7 days mandatory facility quarantine and testing at the place of origin if they plan to travel to other Dzongkhags.
