They suggested such rumors aimed to destabilize Suu Kyi’s government and could cause national panic.CHIANG MAI – If Myanmar’s nominal leader Aung San Suu Kyi is to be believed, her country stands out as a global exception without a single reported case of Covid-19.
“Until now no one in our country is infected with Covid-19,” Suu Kyi said in a nationally televised address which to date remains the government’s official position.
Zaw Htay, a government spokesman, said at a March 14 press conference that “Covid-19 is still not present in Myanmar and there have been doubts about that. The government and the Ministry of Health are publishing true news…the lifestyle and diet of Myanmar citizens are beneficial against the coronavirus.”
Authorities have claimed they died from other causes. But if as some suspect they were Covid-19 cases, then it would indicate the disease is spreading far and wide across the country and not as in other regional nations confined largely to major commercial centers.
“It’s not only the government that is in denial, but also many ordinary citizens,” said one Yangon-based resident.

I think its due mostly to lack of test kits. Probably the same is true for Cambodia as well.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 9:30 am spoke a little to soon;
