22 new cases of COVID-19 reported on 4 December, total figure rises to 633,318

 

MYANMAR’S COVID-19 positive cases rose to 633,318 after 22 new cases were reported on 4 December 2022 according to the Ministry of Health.

The total number of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 in the country reached 607,847, including 26 new recoveries.

The death toll from COVID-19 in the country remained unchanged to 19,488 on 4-12-2022 with no new death reported from the pandemic.

The country has vaccinated 30,781,238 people aged 18 and above for COVID-19 vaccines and 6,766,787 people aged under 18 till 3 December 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.
