On March 14, Myanmar?s nominal leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, in a televised address, announced that as a global exception, Myanmar has no case of Covid-19. This claim was questioned and criticised on social media. Health ministry officials, in a press conference on March 16, said that China?s Hubei province, the source of the deadly coronavirus, was 1,200 miles away from Myanmar and ?our lifestyle and diet?had prevented the disease from spreading towards us.
