Myanmar suspended some domestic flights and imposed restrictions in some townships to fight a surge in Covid cases in the past two days, the Ministry of Health and Sports said.
Domestic flights between the commercial capital, Yangon, and at least five cities will be suspended for at least two weeks beginning from May 29. Myanmar Airways International-Air KBZ Group, the nation’s largest private airline, said it would suspend operations in Tachileik, Kalay, Dawei, Myeik and Kawthaung.
Health minister Thet Khine Win warned of the possibility of a third virus wave as Myanmar reported 168 new Covid cases in 48 hours, mostly from the townships of Tonzang and Tamu. The ministry imposed a stay-at-home order in the two townships, allowing people to leave only for work and health matters.
