How does this affect you if outside of Yangon and want to come back?
Entering into Yangon will is not a problem with the car. Just a fever check. However, being this is a “stay at home” order, every in and out into the townships and wards will be carefully watched so you might need to consider contact with the ward.
Anything to add? Please don’t hesitate to let us know!
