Stay at Home: Roads in Yangon Nearly Empty of Traffic

Roads in Yangon are empty as the Regional Government requested the public to stay home for 10 days from 10th to 19th April during Myanmar New Year festival period as a measure to avoid spreading of Coronavirus COVID-19 disease.

The normally gridlocked roads in central downtown including Sule Pagoda Road, Strand Road, Pansodan Road and Anawrahta Street have seen only some vehicles, cycle trishaw, delivery cyclist and a few passersby.

As of 10th April, Myanmar has 27 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 3 deaths. Two persons have recovered as they tested negative in their following lab tests.
