Myanmar: Shadow of COVID-19 over upcoming elections orfonline.org

The COVID-19 virus has set extraordinary challenges to nation-states across the world. In the last few months, the pressure is felt not only on the health infrastructure ? but on economy, livelihood and social life of nations and individuals. Myanmar has so far been fortunate to record very low number of COVID-19 cases, though it has a large border with China. Till now, it has recorded only 151 cases. But, given the rising trend of cases in neighbouring countries and the world at large, the numbers are anticipated to rise.
