During the COVID-19 pandemic, the town implemented strict COVID inspection gates. These gates were destroyed in December 2020- allegedly by the construction company building a hotel on nearby Goyingyi Island after tensions grew as the local government required incoming construction workers to undergo a 7-day quarantine. The first COVID-19 death in the town occurred in June 2021.
