More on Covid-19.
That draft bill I wrote about yesterday has not been passed so it is not law. http://hivinfo4mm.org/new-law/
You can get official figures here: http://mohs.gov.mm/Main/content/publication/2019-ncov
The Ministry of Health and Sports reports no case detections of the virus in Myanmar yet.
I think there are about 3,000 test kits and fewer than 200 have been used.
Testing is taking place based on travel or exposure history or severe respiratory problems.
Some assess that Yangon has isolation capacity and the space to expand it. Oxygen and ventilation support (often called respirators) capacity are fine as long as the number of people needin them are low.
I hope that Covid-19 doesn't hit Myanmar hard.
