The deceased were an elderly man with a heart condition and a woman, said Ko Japan Gyi, chairman of Laywati Kula Rakhita Philanthropic Association in Kyaukphyu Township.
“Two people succumbed to Covid-19. The elderly man in his 80s returned from Yangon and was hospitalised yesterday morning. A 70-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital after she asked for help from us. Both of them tested positive for coronavirus,” he explained.
