Seven trucks carrying 746,800 doses of vaccines sent by the Chinese government to Myanmar departed from Kunming on Wednesday.

Despite the heavy anti-virus task Yunnan faces itself, the southwest province has been supporting Myanmar's virus fight, sending medical teams and anti-pandemic materials. It also initiated joint anti-pandemic mechanisms and cooperation, greatly lightening pandemic control pressure along the border.
