As of today Myanmar has 151 cases of Covid-19.  Government has extended the precautionary restriction measures related to control of covid-19 pandemic until 15^th May 2020.  Many people in major cities are following the government order of social distancing and staying at home.

One of the great examples is the Market at tourist town of Kalaw in southern Shan State.  Officials there have come up with a simple and innovative idea; a road has been divided up into sections with white painted lines to keep each seller 6 feet apart while allowing shoppers to keep a proper distance to browse products.
