Myanmar's national television reported on the night of the 15th that infection with mutant viruses such as the Delta strain confirmed in India was confirmed in the country among the new coronaviruses.

In Myanmar, where the turmoil continues after the coup d'etat, medical institutions are not functioning sufficiently, and there are concerns about the spread of infection in the future.

Myanmar's state television reported last night that infected individuals such as the Delta strain of the mutant virus confirmed in India and the Alpha strain of the mutant virus confirmed in the United Kingdom were confirmed in the country.



According to state television, 11 people have been infected in four regions, including the central Mandalay region, the southern Tanintharyi region, and the northwestern Sagaing region, which borders India.



In Myanmar, where the military forced a coup, medical personnel are conducting a civil disobedience movement across the country to resist military rule and abandon their duties.



The number of tests for the new coronavirus has decreased to about one-tenth that before the coup d'etat, making it difficult to understand the actual state of infection.



Furthermore, according to the announcement by the health authorities, the number of newly infected people has been increasing since the end of last month, even though the number of tests is limited.



As the turmoil continues after the coup d'etat, medical institutions are not functioning sufficiently, and there is concern about the spread of infection by the mutant virus in Myanmar.
