The military ministry of health confirmed 1,145 new cases of Covid-19 today. Although data released by the military may be highly unreliable, we have seen a growth in cases in Myanmar in the past days and many cases are probably going undetected. Myanmar is particularly vulnerable to the Covid pandemic, due to its poor healthcare system.
The military regime reported the NUG and the PDF to the Interpol, calling them “terrorist groups”. Could the generals be more ridiculous?
