(Reuters) - Myanmar reported its first confirmed cases of coronavirus in two men who had recently travelled to the United States and the United Kingdom.

The Southeast Asian nation had been the most populous country in the world to say it had no cases, despite sharing a long and porous border with China, where the virus originated in the city of Wuhan.
