MYANMAR’S COVID-19 positive cases rose to 633,167 after 10 new cases were reported on 27 November 2022 according to the Ministry of Health.

The total number of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 in the country reached 607,681, including 66 new recoveries.

The death toll from COVID-19 in the country remained unchanged at 19,488 on Sunday with no new deaths reported from the pandemic.

The country has vaccinated 30,764,729 people aged 18 and above for COVID-19 vaccines and 6,756,476 people aged under 18 years old till 26 November 2022.

According to the research, it is found that people who have been vaccinated do not suffer severely from the disease, need not to be hospitalized and unlikely to die. If they have received booster shot, the death rates can be reduced more.

As such, the people need to follow the new normal way in living with COVID. Hence, all the people above five have to fully receive COVID-19 vaccination inoculated by the Ministry of Health free of charge. Six months after the vaccination, they have to take booster jabs at relevant health centres and ward/village administration offices without fail.

Moreover, they have to wear masks while in closed chambers and public places. They need to often wash hands with soap and water or the hand gel containing alcohol (at least 60 per cent) for 20 seconds.

People need to follow the social distancing rule and avoid the crowds as much as possible. While not wearing masks, if they cough and sneeze, they need to cover mouth and noses with elbows in line with the personal hygienic ways.

COVID-19 information can be browsed on the internet page moh.gov.mm of the Ministry of Health.
