Myanmar reported its first coronavirus death, a 69-year-old man who also had cancer and died in a hospital in the commercial capital of Yangon, a government spokeswoman said.
He had sought medical treatment in Australia and stopped in Singapore on his way home, according to the health ministry.
Myanmar has confirmed 14 cases of the virus, mostly in people who have travelled overseas.
The country has a weak healthcare system after decades of neglect under the former ruling military junta.
