Authorities detained a high school teacher in Kampong Chhnang province on Thursday after he was caught conducting online classes despite the fact that schools had been ordered to close temporarily to prevent Covid-19 infections.

Keo Thai teaches at Boribo High School in Kampong Chhnang and is a member of the Cambodian Independent Teachers Association (Cita) in the province as well as a former member of the Supreme Court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP).

He was arrested and sent to Phnom Penh on Thursday after announcing to offer online English classes, his daughter Keo Rachana said.

She said police surrounded their house at 6am and told Thai to come out, but he refused to do so because the authorities did not have an arrest warrant.

But at about 7am, she said, the provincial court prosecutor reached the house.

“I asked for an arrest warrant but he said that he is the prosecutor. He confiscated three phones which belong to me and my parents. Then, he wrote a letter regarding the confiscation.

“He said if I do not allow him to check the house, he would further sue my family as he had already had an arrest warrant,” she said.

When Thai came down, provincial authorities put him in their police car, while Rachana was left wondering why he was arrested.

“My father stopped teaching extra classes when the Minstry of Education ordered all schools closed to prevent the spread of Covid-19. He then began teaching online,” Rachana said.

The arrest came a day after Prime Minister HE said a teacher and former Cita member had announced on social media the opening of extra classes.

Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport spokesman Ros Sovichea declined to comment on the arrest, and referred reporters to an annoucement that the ministry made on Thursday.

The ministry’s annoucement said: “Teaching extra classes is banned in the period of fighting against Covid-19 infections. The ministry will take action against offenders.”

While confirming Thai’s arrest, National Police spokesman Chhay Kim Khoeun said the teacher is involved in many other cases.

“He was a suspect who incited and conspired with traitors, especially when he was an activist. He was on the court’s [black] list but was spared any legal action by the government. Instead, he was put under court observation.

“After he was forgiven, he didn’t seem to change. He even created more problems by producing inciteful news, which means he did not change.

“He is still inciteful. He has been sent to Phnom Penh to be legally processed and sent to court,” he said.

This has been reposted from a general coronavirus thread on CEO: newsworthy/outbreak-unidentified-corona ... ml#p408053
It's worth reading the entire article, which makes it sound like a very bad idea to go to a hospital in Cambodia if you have mild symptoms and do not need emergency respiratory care. The expat concerned here says he has no symptoms at present, but is currently sharing a hospital room with others who are sick and infectious.
So if you have mild flu symptoms and think you may have coronavirus, if at all possible, stay home and self-isolate from family and friends.

Quarantine in the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital
After coming down with a fever three weeks ago, an expat was admitted to Phnom Penh's Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital. In the second of our personal essays looking at life during COVID-19, we publish their personal account of life inside a Cambodian government quarantine

This is a transcript of a phone interview conducted with an expat who has been living in Cambodia for more than a year. They have requested that they remain anonymous.

For the first few days, you don’t think you’ll be here very long – and then you’re just stuck in a room. After that first wave of very painful experiences, things got better and you get used to it. You feel some sort of acceptance and indifference, you make a routine.

From when I first got here, things went well for a while until four new people came in. There are only 10 beds here in one big room. First, we were three, then five and then nine before they brought in an older french tourist with severe symptoms.

His oxygen saturation level was flashing red on the machine, the doctors told us he had a very high viral load and that we should stay away from him, and wear masks at all times.

Everyone kind of panicked, because some people had started testing negative and were worried about getting infected again. A Khmer national and the older French tourists showed severe symptoms and needed to go on the oxygen tank.

When I came here they went all crazy, it was horrible, the longest thirty minutes of my life. Hospital staff, security, bystanders, they all gather thirty metres from you, take pictures, run away, they all get scared.

I’m just very happy that my name didn’t get published, because some foreigners here had their passport photos shared on social media. So I’m happy mine wasn’t all over the news.

The following article concerns the party of 36 French tourists infected with coronavirus, who traveled around Cambodia before being tested and put in quarantine in Sihanoukville.

Battambang officials seek people who had contact with infected tourists

Battambang provincial health department officials are searching for people who have been in contact with a group of French nationals who tested positive for COVID-19 in Sihanoukville, as 22 people have been quarantined over the case in province.

Thirty-three French nationals who visited Sihanoukville last week tested positive for coronavirus. They were part of a group of 36 who arrived in Siem Reap province on March 11. Thirty-one are now under quarantine at a hotel in Sihanoukville, one at the provinciual referral hospital and one in Phnom Penh’s Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital.

The Health Ministry also reported two Cambodian tour guides with the group tested positive for COVID-19 in Sihanoukville.

Roeun Bun Nareth, director of the Battambang provincial health department, said yesterday 22 people in the province, including a monk were quarantined because they had been in direct or indirect contact with the group during their visit to the province.

He said the specimens of 10 people who had direct contact were sent to Pasteur Institute in Phnom Penh for COVID-19 tests.

“The 10 people include gatekeepers, receptionists and waiters,” Dr Bun Nareth said, adding the provincial authority needs to quarantine them in order to prevent the virus from spreading.

“Currently, the situation is under control,” he said. “We wish to end the infection of the virus in the province.”

Complete clusterfuck coming for the Kingdom of Blunder. I do not see this ending well, not at all. There is going to be an awful lot of "heart attacks" in the next couple of months.
