YANGON, July 22 — Angered by doctors’ support for anti-junta protests, Myanmar’s military has arrested several doctors treating Covid-19 patients independently, colleagues and media said, as the health system struggles to cope with a record wave of infections.

To help people who either refuse to go to a state hospital, because of opposition to the military, or find hospitals are too strapped to treat them, some doctors participating in the anti-junta campaign have offered free medical advice over the telephone, and visited the sick at home in some cases. They included Kyaw Kyaw Thet, who had been tutoring medical students, and senior surgeon Thet Htay, who the doctor said witnesses had seen handcuffed and bruised before being led away on July 16.

Media reports from Yangon, which have been denied by the junta, said three doctors from a Covid-19 response group were arrested after being lured to a home by soldiers pretending to need treatment. The junta also denied Myanmar News portal report that security forces had arrested two doctors during a followup raid on their offices in the North Dagon district of Yangon.
