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.

Out and about today and there is a noticeable resurgence in mask-wearing by the locals in PP.

Thankfully they haven't started playing the loud announcements and Covid-19 songs in my street again (yet).
Yes I went into the city today and saw the effect this as had on the people, and they are making the effort, but I will wait and see how long it will last.

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.
He’ll have to add a chapter to his amazing book: “ HE: The dashing hero who went against the current to fight Covid-19”

They closed my gym. Not happy about that. Anyone have any idea how long this is going to last for?

They must be tracing and testing like crazy by now, so surely in a day or two all the results should be back?

COVID-19: PM and Spouse Negative for 3rd Test
AKP Phnom Penh, November 14, 2020 --

Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE has announced that the result of his third test for COVID-19 and that of his spouse are negative.

"In the morning of Nov. 14, 2020, the medical team took the sample for the third time. As a result, both my wife and I, as well as those around us, are all COVID-19 negative," wrote the Premier on his official Facebook page today, at around noon.

Samdech Techo HE said he is waiting for the test results of other people involved in the Nov. 3 Event, hoping that the results will also be negative.

"Anyway, I will continue the (self-) quarantine until the fourth and last test on Nov. 18. I hope that there will be negative results for me and my wife, as well as for the more than 1,000 people who have been quarantined at the same time since Nov. 4, 2020," he added.

This will reduce the worries about COVID-19 in Phnom Penh and Kandal province, and schools will be able to reopen, he underlined.


Samdech Techo Prime Minister expressed sincere thanks to his compatriots for their concerns and wishes for him and his spouse.

As of this morning, the total number of confirmed cases in Cambodia rose to 302 after a new imported case was detected. Of them, 289 or 95.70 percent have successfully recovered.

Where did you hear that? End of next week is the official line, I'm guessing maybe an extra week as a precautionary measure, but no way till that late. If so, it means there are several positive results which are hidden from the public.

A friend of mine was called by his gym last tuesday or wednesday, before the official announcements, they would close until dec. 18th. My friend specifically asked them to reconfirm the 18th, and they did.
