Restaurants and teashops will be allowed to resume dine-in services across Myanmar starting Friday, according to a directive issued by the national-level Central Committee on Prevention, Control and Treatment for COVID-19 Xinhua reported.

The Myanmar government has eased some restrictions on restaurant businesses by allowing eateries, excluding those under stay-at-home measures, to offer dine-in services again after running with only take-away services.

A total of 8,017 restaurants and teashops were reportedly listed in a batch of eateries which meet the criteria to resume dine-in services so far and more eateries will be allowed if they meet the criteria set by the health authorities after further scrutiny, the directive said.
