Bangladesh has taken decision to send a small group of Rohingyas, who were floating in the seal in small boats, to Bhasan Char Island.
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen confirmed the news.
The decision has been taken aiming to keep Rohingya camps free from coronavirus.
Decision was taken to send the Rohingyas, not less than 70, to Bhasan Char, Dr Momen said.
The Rohingyas are reportedly from those two boats which were floating in deep sea for weeks.
