The Ministry of Health and Sports (MoHS) has been working on monitoring and preventive measures of the COVID-19, which has been spreading globally, at international entrances/gates, at public hospitals and among communities, as well as in cooperation with private hospitals. 2. In doing so, new Persons Under Investigation (PUI) have been found between 11 March 2020 (6:00PM) and 12 March 2020 (6:00PM), and treated and isolated at designated hospitals concerned. Nasal swab samples taken from them will be sent and tested at the National Health Laboratory (NHL) in Yangon. (See Table 1). 3. According to the laboratory results released by the NHL, four of the patients being treated in designated hospitals (from 11 March 2020, 6:00PM, to 12 March 2020, 6:00PM) tested negative for COVID-19. (See Table 2). 4.
