Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates December 2021)

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.

Interior Ministry officials, including Sar Kheng tested for COVID-19

Interior Minister Sar Kheng has ordered all ministry officials who came in direct and indirect contact with infected Lieutenant General Chhem Savuth to go into quarantine as mass testing is being conducted at the ministry.

Lt Gen Savuth, director general of the ministry’s prisons department, was diagnosed with the COVID-19 on Saturday.

In his audio message today, Kheng assigned two Ministry Secretaries of State Pao Ham Phan and Sak Setha to ask all officials to have their samples tested at the ministry.

Kheng said he is going into self-isolation for 14 days after meeting with infected Lt Gen Savuth during a meeting on Tuesday in which dozens of officials attended, including Justice Minister Keut Rith and National Police Chief General Neth Savoeun.

Lt Gen Savuth’s family, including his wife and four others tested positive for the COVID-19.
