It's not very handy if it's wrong.
Not is it handy if the user is too illiterate to decipher maps as some are, even pretentiously commenting like a wannabe expert.

That's not accurate anymore. This zoom-able map in the link below seems to be one of the best I've seen. Oh yeah, in answer to the OP I'm now in a fucking Red Zone. It doesn't seem to have changed much, the same small shops are open but the street market has disappeared over the past few days. I can still get deliveries.

Why don't you check the map? There are a number of errors including showing Boeung Tumpun 1 & 2 as yellow when they should be red and orange respectively. And Phsar Chas as yellow when it should be orange. Possibly more mistakes too. People keep posting the link to this map but it's not helpful.

Man am I glad I’m out in the sticks and not in the city. Our local market has been shut down for 2 weeks (starting about 5 days back) and we get a police drive by every few days warning folk to mask up and social distance. We still get fish and meat sellers coming through village each day and the occasional truck with cartons of noodles, slabs of coke and energy drinks etc. (prices are mostly the same or only very slightly higher) although the stocks in the shophouses are starting to look a little sparse. Cash is starting to get scarce but most households have rice laid up, and livestock is being harvested as required, also they are very capable of scavenging for anything edible and are doing so (a luxury those in the city don’t have, especially if fully locked down) the first heavy rains of the season last week had most of the village out collecting frogs (the girlfriend had over eight kilos, she usually sells most of what she collects but this season literally no one was buying, everyone had filled their boots apparently) same with mushrooms, so we’ve been eating plenty of both, again, the benefits of village living.
I can only imagine how it must be for folk stuck in (possibly crowded) rented rooms in town without much food available and little money to buy it with, fingers crossed this Covid shit is got under control ASAP or things are going to be grim for an awful lot of people.

I can't find anything naming Boeung Tumpun 2 as red.
Local cop says maybe it will be declared tonight.

just a glance at the map, compared with documented outbreaks, etc
says this whole scheme is a sham

Yeah, my kid actually pointed this out this evening, there seems to be little correlation between outbreaks and "zones".

A few days ago, I printed out a copy of the city Sangkats and intended to note the zones. I didn't foresee for my daughter to get her crayons out and colour it in.
Now the map seems to have disappeared, possibly mislaid when I went over to City Hall chasing up my resident's card.
