MYANMAR’S COVID-19 positive cases rose to 630,603 after 158 new cases were reported on 23 October 2022 according to the Ministry of Health. Among these confirmed cases, 604,318 have recovered from disease. Death toll reaches 19,476 after one death.

Up to 22-10-2022, 30,683,666 people aged 18 and above and 6,677,634 people aged 18 and under were vaccinated.

According to the study of people who had COVID-19 and people who died of COVID-19 from 28-1-2022 to 15-10-2022, it has been found that 90.4 per cent of Covid patients and 80.9 per cent of Covid deaths are not vaccinated at all or fully vaccinated, respectively.

According to the international study, it is found that people who have been vaccinated do not suffer severely from the disease, need not to be hospitalized and are unlikely to die. If they have received booster shots, the death rates can be reduced more. Therefore, it is a must for people aged five and above to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

The Ministry of Health is giving free vaccinations to all people aged five and above. Booster shots of vaccine are being given to students between the ages of 12 and 18 and people aged 18 and over.

Therefore, people should contact local health centres and village/ ward administration offices to receive vaccinations. The information about COVID-19 disease can be seen on the Ministry of Health official website www.moh.gov.mm.
