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.

UPDATE
Sihanoukville zones : The situation as presented here is not clear. The red zones are now called yellow zones, but restrictions against people gathering, travelling, buying and selling alcohol, and the 8pm-5am curfew remain in place. Family gatherings of people who live in the same house are permitted. What has changed now that the Red zone is a Yellow zone in Sihanoukville ?

1 min ago - BREAKING NEWS
Sihanoukville downgraded to Yellow Zone
The Preah Sihanouk Provincial Administration has decided to designate Sihanoukville and nearby Prey Nup district as Yellow Zones with a curfew from 8pm to 5am.

In the decision issued today, provincial governor Kuoch Chamroeun said that the designation of Sihanoukville and Prey Nup districts as Yellow Zones will last for two weeks from tomorrow to June 6.

The designation as a Yellow Zone prohibits gatherings except for family members living in the same residence. All kinds of alcohol are prohibited and there is a curfew from 8pm to 5am except in certain cases.

The governor said that if cases of Covid-19 are found in a hotel, casino, guesthouse, company, factory or enterprise, the property shall be designated as a Red Zone and access to the site and other activities will be prohibited.

He said the new designation supersedes the previous notice dated May 13, which divided the province into Red, Orange and Yellow Zones.

So far, the province has reported a total of 3,054 cases, 12 deaths, 2,226 recoveries and 816 patients receiving treatment.

Mom Kunthear | Publication date 25 May 2021 | 16:57 ICT
Banteay Meanchey provincial authorities on May 25 lifted restrictions in four red zones as the spread of Covid-19 is under control, while Svay Rieng province has closed a factory after staff were found to be infected with the virus there.

Banteay Meanchey Provincial Administration first placed high-risk areas under lockdown on April 24 after a severe outbreak of Covid-19 in two communes in Poipet town.

Provincial governor Um Reatrey made the announcement after lockdown measures had proved effective.

He said the zones included KTVs, casinos and hotels and a building in Kbal Spean I and Baliley I villages.

Separately, Svay Rieng provincial governor Men Vibol shut down You Ly Factory in the Shandong Sunshell Special Economic Zone in Prey Angkunh commune’s Chrey Thom village in Bavet town until June 6 to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the province.
