Bangkok, Aug 3 (EFE).- Myanmar has surpassed 10,000 Covid-19 deaths, according to latest official figures, and comes amid an uncontrolled wave of the virus adding to the deep political and social crisis as a result of the military coup.
Health authorities reported 3,689 new infections and 330 deaths, a new high in the daily death tolls, bringing the total to 306,354 cases, including 10,061 deaths.
However, groups of Myanmar doctors warn that official records do not reflect the disastrous reality in the country due to the collapse of the health system and the limited testing capacity.
According to the latest official data, almost 30 percent of the 12,394 tests carried out on Monday were positive, which, according to the Myanmar Doctors For Human Rights Network, indicates that the outbreak is widespread.
