Two more new COVID-19 confirmed cases have been found in Pyay, Bago Region, and of the six confirmed patients taking treatment in Pyay General hospital one has recovered and has been discharged.

The township medical director, Dr Kay Khine Win, said that the man wouldn't say anything when asked whether he returned from Myawady. He said he had been to Hnawbi recently. People from the locality said he had been to Myawady. He didn't say anything about it. He did not have a high temperature. He was ill for three days at home. The hospital knowd in detail. We too knew this from the hospital. People that have had contact with him are his family, and three others in very close contact with him. They have been placed in quarantine. The information we got from them is not complete, she thinks. The information we have is not from them but from their neighbors. The two of them won't say anything. It has been quite some time since he went on a journey. Even this is not reliable.
The said couple and their family members consist of three adults and three children. These and three other primary contacts have been placed in Family Quarantine and their swabs tests have been sent to Yangon NHL and Pyay Genetal hospital.
