- The Myanmar government on Thursday (August 20) has imposed a lockdown measures in the capital city of the country’s western Rakhine state following a spike of local transmission of COVID-19 cases. The restrictions encourage the public to stay at home but it does not apply to the employees including civil servants, companies’ staff and factory workers in Sittwe.
- Thailand sought to allay fears of a second wave of coronavirus infections on Thursday (Aug 20), after a woman tested positive having cleared quarantine nearly two months ago on returning from overseas. Thailand has gone 87 days without domestic transmission but news that a woman tested positive for COVID-19 in Bangkok on Tuesday has triggered concern of a fresh outbreak in a country so far spared the level of contagion elsewhere. Authorities said the woman was unlikely to be contagious and may have caught the virus in the plane or her home province of Loei, bordering Laos
