President’s Office announces ban on festivals including Thingyan

The President’s Office has appealed to the public not to believe the Thingyan festival due to the coronavirus and not to believe the rumors that are spreading false information to cause public concern.

Due to the rapid spread of Covid-19 disease in crowded places, ceremonies, including the construction of Thingyan festival pavilions, will not be allowed until the end of April, the President’s Office announced today.
