Day 18 of building quarantine

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.

Day 18 of building quarantine

Post by MAGA »

It's been 18 days of full lock down in the building with no updates. The second covid test was last Sunday, but we didn't get any new information. I watched the owners come for the test, and freely leave the building in their own vehicles. No need for them to quarantine. The owners have realized that selling us big blue water bottles isn't profitable. So they just drop of the little plastic water bottles and sell them at a higher price. I've been told that some Chinese stayed in their rooms to avoid covid testing, so as a result, 14 days might have been reset. The owners or police never checked the rooms, but they just trusted everyone to come for a test.

sounds crazy, where are you staying?

A friend is in TK Royal one and they had a notice to say everyone in the building had tested negative on the second test but that the authorities were still not giving any information on when they could be released

Here in Olympic L they didnt even anounce the testing, i found out because i went down to get my takeaway order and saw it.

First after this did they check how many were staying in the house by knocking on everyones door. Not everyone got tested.

Futher more 1 chineese was brought back into the building a few days ago from the hospital, he was corona positive, while we stil wait to get released.

Answer we get is that we will be released when gonvernment choose so. 19th Day today.

Lord, is this common? Sounds like a warzone. I think I underestimated the situation.

what are the lockdown rules?
are you allowed meal or grocery deliveries
or they bring mama noodles and water?
or you're stuck with whatever you happened to have in the cupboards?

Sounds like the governmental authorities, health department and police have completely abandoned control. What a miserable situation! thumbdown

Throw in the Sokha Hotel debacle . . .

. . . sound of dusting of hands . . . That's me then, no way would I try to enter Cambodia.

Got released today.

You can buy takeaway on nham24 or have someone bring it to you.

The only one who were not even allowed to leave room was the chineese who were brough back as he was positive. Rest could move freely in house and collect orders at front door after sprayed by guards.

Items could also leave tbe building same way. So you could cough in a box and let it leave building. They Will just spray the plastig bag you put it in.
