"The Myanmar military carried out COVID-19 tests for over 300 military personnel after a 33-year-old soldier tested positive for the disease in Naypyitaw. All of them tested negative for the virus, according to military spokesperson Brigadier General Zaw Min Tun. “We have tested over 300 military personnel who had contact with him, including those who work at the same office as him and his relatives. All of them tested negative,” Brig-Gen Zaw Min Tun told The Irrawaddy. The soldier who tested positive suffered from a fever, sore throat and diarrhea on Thursday and was placed under isolation at the local military hospital on Friday before he tested positive for the coronavirus. The soldier is not an officer and reportedly works primarily in an office. His work does not involve traveling, according to Brig-Gen Zaw Min Tun.

Upper House lawmaker U Maung Maung Swe expressed concerns as the military said the soldier did not have a travel history nor did he have contact with any known COVID-19 patients..."
