YANGON -- Ahead of a general election on Nov. 8, the Myanmar government, ruled by State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, has started to demonstrate its seriousness in buttressing the coronavirus-affected economy.
The daily number of new cases sharply rose amid a second wave from September to mid-October, peaking at 2,158 on Oct. 10 and still hovering around 1,000. However, a doctor at a Yangon quarantine facility who asked not to be identified said the number of patients is falling as those who have completed their 10 days of isolation are discharged.
