Australia’s COVID-19 Response

The Australian Government is deeply concerned about the impact of COVID-19 in Myanmar. Australia's existing humanitarian and development programs continue to focus on COVID-19 prevention and mitigation including:

• providing oxygen related equipment;
• building sanitation infrastructure and isolation wards in internally displaced persons camps;
• distributing personal protective equipment (PPE) to affected communities;
• training and community engagement in disease outbreak surveillance and response;
• capacity building in field epidemiology; and
• strengthening laboratory and emergency health operations.
