Cambodia's Quarantine and Lockdown Escapees (Regular Updates)

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

This escape and after activities was well planned. Someone would have invited them over or sponsored them..

BUT it all depends on who was the top dog and their financial position in the hierarchy that is involved.
This^

We’ve learned the identities of the Cambodian guards who took the bribes, the Cambodian taxi driver who transported them to their clients. But not the Chinese hookers?

If indeed they were prostitutes it’s sure they weren’t freelancing on their own. Traveling internationally during a pandemic? They must have had handlers on both sides of the border. I feel sure if all the facts came out it would cause one helluva gigantic shitstorm.

This woman was not in quarantine, but Sihanoukville is in lockdown for non-essential travel in and out of the province.

Cambodia News, Sihanoukville/Kampot: Two people were arrested after a cement truck driving from Preah Sihanouk province to Kampot province was detained for attempting to fraudulently transport a female passenger through the checkpoint at the point of Trapeang Ropov Bridge, in Prey Nob District, Sihanoukville.

On the night of March 9, 2021, Unity Command intercepted the truck and detained the driver, named Teang Phanny, 39 years old, driving a cement mixer truck, with license plate Phnom Penh 3A-9421, transporting KC Manen cement from Sihanoukville to Kampot province. The female Cambodian hitch-hiker is an employee at a Sihanoukville casino who wanted to visit family in Kampot.
The truck was temporarily stored at the Prey Nob District Police Inspectorate to build a case for legal action.

More on the Sihanoukville lockdown and travel ban:

23 seconds ago - BREAKING NEWS
Sihanoukville gets tough with lockdown escapes with the arrest of three taxi drivers while trying to flee with passengers
Taing Rinith / Khmer Times

Three taxi drivers were arrested by the authorities while they were transporting passengers and freight on their way from Sihanoukville, where a travel ban has imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19, to Phnom Penh.

The three, all male and identified as Koch Vannak, 27, Chan Kimhean, 38 and Hout Sophara, were apprehended by the police on a high-road in Kampong Sela districts.

They were transporting three people, all Cambodians, and some freight including some food supplies and electric devices.

Sihanoukville Provincial Hall spokesman Kheang Phirom said the while the passengers were released, the drivers are now in detention and will face the consequences of their action.

“We will take strong action on those who try to ruin the nation’s public health,” he said.

According to a sub-decree issued by the government, passengers or operators of transport vehicles who evade inspection officials or fail to cooperate with health officials in implementing health measures or fail to comply with health procedures to prevent and respond to the spread of diseases at the entry points will be fined from $250 to $1,250.

Travel ban has been imposed since Thursday last week in Sihanoukville, which now has 2nd largest cluster related to the February 20 Community Event, with at least 131 confirmed positive cases.

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): Acting Head of State Samdech Vibol Sena Pheakdey Say Chhum promulgated the Law on Measures to Prevent the Spread of Covid-19 and other infectious diseases on the evening of March 11, 2021. This is as the spread of Covid 19 in Cambodia worsens, which requires stricter measures.

According to Article 8 of this law, violators of the Royal Government's measures to prevent infectious diseases will be fined and severely punished under the "charges of avoiding treatment or fleeing the treatment facility."
Avoidance of treatment or escape from the treatment facility is defined as the act of evading the requirement to receive treatment or escape from the treatment facility set by the Ministry of Health, and those who commit this crime shall be punished with imprisonment for one (1) to 5 (five) years and a fine from 5,000,000 (five million) riels to 20,000,000 (twenty million) riels.

In addition, if the above act causes the transmission of the Covid-19 disease to others, the criminal may be punished with imprisonment from 5 to 10 years in prison.
