The Burmese government has extended many COVID-19-related restrictions through May 31. These restrictions include a ban on international commercial flights, restrictions on gatherings of people, temporary closure of non-essential businesses, lockdowns of certain neighborhoods, mandatory quarantines, and movement restrictions throughout the country. The nationwide curfew is now from 12:00 A.M. to 4:00 A.M.
Restrictions and enforcement differ widely across Burma. Criminal penalties exist and are being applied for violating COVID-19-related restrictions. You should contact your ward or township administrator for more details on local restrictions. Your hotel manager or landlord can help you contact your ward or township administrator.
