Die Shwedagon Pagode ist geschlossen
Temples and pagodas in Myanmar including Shwedagon Pagoda Yangon were not allowed to have any visitors in order to avoid crowds because of the Covild 19. The Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the tourist attractions in Myanmar and it is the most sacred Buddhist stupa in Myanmar and full of invaluable art of Myanmar. U Boe Thin, Member of Shwedagon Pagoda Board of Trustees, said, "When the pagoda is closed, we were undertaking the regular maintenance of the pagoda. We are now carrying out the things to support the control of the Covid like having sessions for washing hands and the temperature testing sessions. We undertook these protections since the earliest days of Covid 19 in case the visits to the pagodas were allowed. In the closing periods, we changed the floor of the temples and polishing the slabs. And there are also maintenances for the sculptures and the statues. We have also finished painting the great wall. The advantage of preparation in this period is that we can do without caring for the visitors."
