Community Notification Reminder: COVID-19 Response - Level 2 Actions
Dear Residents,
We would like to provide you with the latest updates further to our 7 April 2020 communication on COVID-19.
The Estate activated our Level 2 plans after the Yangon Regional Government (YRG) heightened safe-distancing measures as a result of increasing number of COVID-10 positive cases. To pre-empt escalating infections, the YRG reduced movements and interactions in public and private places particularly during the Thingyan holidays.
Please be assured that the Estate Management team is in constant contact with the Ministry of Health & Sports. The Ministry will notify us should a patient living at the Estate be tested positive for COVID-19, and we will duly inform you and all our staff members to ensure your health and safety. Our priority continues to be the safety of our residents and staff.
To recap, the following are guidelines from YRG:
Within the Estate:
You may move around while maintaining physical distancing. We do, however, recommend movement only for essential services and exercise.
Outside the Estate:
Should you require to go out of the Estate, you should only do so for the following reasons:
Healthcare: To go to the hospital or to a clinic for urgent medical needs;
Food: To buy daily necessities.
As a result of the above guidelines from YRG, the Estate implemented the following Level 2 Action Plan with effect from Friday 10 April 2020 until further notice:

Residents who have ordered delivery from other suppliers, please note that the Estate will only allow suppliers who have been issued an “Essential Label” by the Ministry of Health and Sports before they are allowed to enter the Estate.

Spa closed;
Third-party construction sites around the Estate have stopped operations. We would also like to suggest that you take stricter safe-distancing measures by staying at home and avoid any non-essential contact for the next 14 days.

Consult professional medical advice;
Self-isolation for a minimum period of 14 days. I.e. avoid contact with others;
Notify Pun Hlaing Estate management;
