In Myanmar, where the turmoil after the coup d'etat continues and medical institutions are not functioning well, the rapid spread of the new coronavirus infection cannot be stopped, and bodies that cannot handle the crematorium are brought in one after another. It is a situation.
According to the announcement by the Myanmar health authorities, a total of 208,357 people have been infected with the new coronavirus by the 14th, of which about 4 have been confirmed since the beginning of July. It occupies one-third.
In addition, the number of deaths confirmed per day has reached a record high for 6 consecutive days until the 14th, and the spread of infection has not stopped.
The percentage of positives in the number of tests has also exceeded 30% in recent days, and local media reports that the actual number of infections and deaths is likely to be much higher than officials have announced.
Under these circumstances, corpses that cannot be accommodated in various crematoriums are being brought in one after another.
At the crematorium in Yangon, the largest city, even if multiple bodies are burned at the same time in one burning place, they cannot catch up and the bodies brought in cannot fit on the premises.
In Myanmar, post-coup turmoil continues and medical institutions are not functioning well, forcing many infected and suspected infections to be treated at home and a serious shortage of medical oxygen. In front of oxygen factories in various places, there are long lines of family members who care for them.
The local Japanese embassy sends an email to Japanese residents to encourage them to consider returning to Japan temporarily.
