MYANMAR’S COVID-19-positive cases rose to 634,213 after 39 new cases were reported on 19 April 2023 according to the Ministry of Health. Among these confirmed cases, 24 patients returned from foreign countries and 15 cases were infected locally.
Therefore, a total of 10,246,714 laboratory samples were examined and the confirmed COVID-19 cases reached 634,213.
The total number of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 in the country reached 614,649 including 15 new recoveries.
The death toll from COVID-19 in the country remained unchanged at 19,490 on 19-4-2023 with no new death reported from the pandemic.
The country has vaccinated 30,991,933 people aged 18 and above for COVID-19 vaccines and 6,848,787 people aged under 18 till 18 April 2023.
According to the research, it is found that people who have been vaccinated do not suffer severely from the disease, need not be hospitalized and are unlikely to die. If they have received booster shots, the death rates can be reduced more.
As such, people need to follow the new normal way of living with COVID. Hence, all 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 their 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 crowds as much as possible. While not wearing masks, if they cough and sneeze, they need to cover their 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.
