His Majesty The King arrived in Thimphu after a weeklong visit to Samtse and Phuentshogling to review security and preparatory measures to combat COVID-19.

In Phuentshogling, His Majesty visited Amochu Land Development and Township Project area, to inspect the progress of the work on the construction of shelters for the Bhutanese evacuated from Jaigaon before the closure of the border. 1,300 RBA personnel together with around 180 volunteers from Technical Training Institutes have been working to complete the structures by the end of this month. Over a thousand households, living in school and college campuses in Phuentshogling at present, will be accommodated in these houses.

His Majesty also granted Audiences to the COVID-19 Task Force members in Phuentshogling, Gomtu, and Samtse.

In Samtse, His Majesty visited settlements along the border, where there is a risk of cross-border transmissions. The borders are being patrolled by the RBA and RBP, together with DeSuups and volunteers from the nearby villages.

His Majesty also granted separate Audiences to the DeSuups being trained in Samtse, Tendruk and Tashichoeling.

An accelerated DeSuung training programme to train about 2,500 teachers, in-service graduates, unemployed youth, and other volunteers simultaneously in 7 different locations is currently underway. The 3-week programme, which started on the 6th of April, has special focus on public health and security, to prepare the trainees to support health workers in our efforts against COVID-19 if necessary.

All the volunteers and trainers were tested for COVID-19 at the start of the program to rule out the possibility of a community spread.

Training for another batch of 2,520 DeSuups will start from 4th of May.
