Stay at home as much as you can: State Counsellor The following is the full text of the televised speech of State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, in her capacity as Chairperson of the National-Level Central Committee on Prevention, Control and Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), reporting the updated situation of the Coronavirus infection in Myanmar. Citizens of the of the Union of My- anmar, I would like to give you the latest news of COVID-19 in Myanmar. Out of fourteen cases, checked and confirmed positive and hospitalized (till today), one passed away this morning. The case (suf- fering from CA Nose) had come back from Australia via Singapore recently. Based on the nature of COVID-19, those older adults suffering from various diseases with low resistance are more at high risk and vulnerable. The risk is higher if they do not get prompt medical attention. So if you are having early warning signs, like fever, dry cough, and breathing difficul- ties, get medical attention immediately. The threat of COVID-19 is alarming because it spreads very fast. That is why a suspected case must be quarantined so that he or she could be separated from others and so that others would not get infected.

  • The Road Connectivity of Hpa-An Township, Kayin State
    J. Myanmar Acad. Arts Sci. 2020 Vol. XVIII. No.5B THE ROAD CONNECTIVITY OF HPA-AN TOWNSHIP, KAYIN STATE Myat Yazar Soe1, Naw Paw Pale Wah2 Abstract This paper tries to present “The Road Connectivity of Hpa-An Township, Kayin State” from geographical point of view. The quality of life and economy of society rely on good transport system. In Hpa-an Township, there are four modes of transportation: road, waterway, railway and airway. After construction of river-cross bridges on Thanlwin River, motor road has become the most important mode of transportation in Hpa-an Township. All village tracts within Hpa-an Township have no direct motor routes between them. Road density of Hpa-an Township is only more than 0.12 km per square km. Apart from Myotma administrative units, most of the administrative units are characterized by minimum efficiency of road network in terms of connectivity. The node has more connectivity in Hpa-an Township is (V5) Hpa-an Town and the nodes have less connectivity are (V1 and V16) Duyinseik and Mizine. The main objectives of the paper are to explore the modes of transportation in Hpa-an Township, to examine road networks of the study area and to find out the degree of road connectivity of road network of Hpa-an Township. Degree of road connectivity is calculated by mean of Connectivity Matrix. To present the paper, secondary data were mainly applied and field observation was thoroughly done. Connectivity Matrix is mainly used in presenting Connectivity of Hpa-an Township. Keywords: Connectivity, Connectivity Matrix, Road density, nodes Introduction Transport is one of the fundamental pillars upgrading economics of the area and it gives positive effects on health of the given area (Dostál & Adamec).
