Initial contact tracing showed that the patient had direct contact with five people, who will reportedly soon be tested for COVID-19.

Thaung Tun said that 115 people are currently quarantined in Muse’s facilities.

At the time of reporting, Burma’s Ministry of Health and Sports had confirmed there are 3,299 cases of COVID-19, as well as 32 deaths and 790 recoveries from the virus.
