Almost all area are free to travel except Co Co Island near Yangon

The rest of the normal tourists area are open the same as before.

Myanmar Tourism authorities do not published details on their website. As my experienced on remote area , government offices didn’t get contact each other and need to inform all the sectors ( Police ,Immigration , Local authorities and so on ... ) in every town.

Anyhow , it seem to be opened soon the restricted area.

I’ll update what happening on the ground status soon.
