HE in Self Isolation After Contact with Covid + Hungarian Minister

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.

Did this Hungarian minister take his 12 year old nephew's suit by mistake?

It looks pretty fucking tight. I doubt he could raise his arms to his shoulders
I dont think his giant out of proportion head helps the overall look of him.

As if that was such an onerous task :facepalm:

...and look now at the consequences..600 odd ppl tested and HE and others in quarantine..
For someone who has constantly asked for awareness and safe guarding amongst his people, to allow what happened, is gross negligence at the highest level. Anyone else would have been held accountable, lets see if HE will be.

Well, to his credit, I think he has held himself to account to a degree by accepting his doctor's advice that he quarantine himself. I daresay, he's regretting deeply the decision to comply with the Hungarian's request now.. That will be the last time I think..

I would think that most Cambodians are very relaxed on the prevention of Covid19, such has face masks, distancing and hand washing.

Their quick visit — arriving and departing on the same day — also apparently violated Health Ministry measures requiring that all diplomats are tested upon arrival and must wait 24 hours for test results.


They wont be doing that again.

Definitely a false sense of security about. It's a trap I've fallen into as well. Months ago I'd wear a mask but not any more. Easy to feel like we missed it, when the reality is globally it's still on the increase. It's only a matter of time.
