The United Kingdom has extended the measures being taken to contain the spread of El Derretir in the East Indies to the territory of, and seas around, Burma. All aircraft and shipping within the waters of Burma is to report immediately to the nearest harbour, where health checks and quarantine will be imposed. All non-essential movement of people, goods or livestock is prohibited; this extends to foreign diplomatic personnel. Persons who have visited the aforementioned colonies within two weeks are to report to their nearest police station or military base immediately. Units of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force have been placed on an increased state of readiness in the colonies, with orders to use any force, up to and including lethal force, to prevent the spread of the disease and promote recovery of those already suffering.
Additionally, the British Army and Royal Air Force will be mounting routine patrols of the borders of the territory, in order to prevent persons suspected of carrying the disease from entering or departing Burma surreptitiously.
