After #Myanmar announces first 2 confirmed #COVID19 #coronavirus cases in country late Monday night March 23, it sparked off another round of #panicbuying in #Yangon #supermaket in wee hours of morning (pics not mine, sent to me)
Been told by citizens that many in #Myanmar not wearing masks, not practicing #SocialDistancing as they see no need. Myanmar #stores #markets #malls #teashops all remain open in #Yangon and across the country
Due to 1st reports of #COVID19 #coronavirus cases, #Myanmar people now buying up #masks. Many places have sold out, prices skyrocketing. Now 1 piece of surgical mask is some 40 cents USD, before that same price can get you 10 pieces. Some buying online (@ZarniMann pic)
