In Myanmar, third wave of COVID-19 epidemic began with a surge of confirmed cases in the last week of May 2021. The laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths distinctly increased within 9 weeks. The government and the Ministry of Health adopted containment measures to flatten the peak of the epidemic and to suppress the disease transmission. The strictly containment measures: stay-at-home restrictions, school closure, and office closure have reduced the community mobility, confirmed cases and mortality. Therefore, the timely containment measures implemented by the government were important to reduce the transmission as observed in the third wave of COVID-19 epidemic in Myanmar.
在缅甸，第三波新冠疫情始于2021年5月最后一周确诊病例的激增。在9周内，实验室确诊病例和死亡人数明显增加。政府和卫生部采取了防控措施以平缓疫情高峰并抑制疾病传播。严格的防控措施：居家限制、学校关闭和办公场所关闭，减少了社区流动性、确诊病例数和死亡率。因此，正如在缅甸第三波新冠疫情中所观察到的那样，政府及时实施的防控措施对于减少传播至关重要。
