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.

School was originally only cancelled for SR and then PP K-12. They updated it today to include the entire country and universities.

I'm not sure what you mean there. What quarantine or hotel/motel? Unfortunately you do have to provide for yourself most of the time, the government will likely concentrate on helping their own citizens. Cruise tours are extremely expensive so I'd imagine they were able to pay any extra expenses. While the government may have stepped in early on for the good PR of being benevolent, this won't be sustained for long if more and more visitors become sick. I'm not trying to be mean, but the elders/leaders here have all been through tough times. They didn't have the luxury of foreign travel and had to stick it through war, poverty, famine, isolation etc. We didn't. We just came when the security situation improved. We had a choice and the onus is on us to sort our own shit out when the shit goes down.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

It is, but as soon a passengers find out the flight is more than half empty they start changing seats and the official data becomes useless.

Saw it happen on a Thai flight yesterday.
