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.

I hope those who study these outbreaks look at Cambodia and why this has been so. No one here is reporting that the hospitals are over stretched and if they were it would be all over Facebook. To be quite honest my mother is actually reluctant to return to the UK until they get over the worst of it as she feels safer here.

But.... fingers crossed it doesn’t hit us hard here after I have said the above lol famous last words and all that m’larky.

Hi, I'm currently in the Philippines (have been for two years), so I'm not up to date with the situation in Cambodia.

I heard from a good friend in Cambodia that her brother and his wife that works in the garment industry are not allowed to leave the factory (they have to live on site), and that they have to stay there over khmer new year.

Has there been any public information regarding this, or may it be a case of not having saved up enough money/saving face?

Again, sorry I'm really not up to date with the situation in Cambodia at the moment.

Prices of medical supplies in Cambodia skyrocket
Since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year, many pharmacies in Cambodia have run out of medical equipment and supplies, local newspaper reported.
VNA Sunday, April 05, 2020 15:39

Phnom Penh (VNA) – Since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year, many pharmacies in Cambodia have run out of medical equipment and supplies, local newspaper reported.

According to the Khmer Times, prices of such products like masks, gloves, hand sanitisers and drugs skyrocket due to novel coronavirus fears.

The Health Ministry cited earlier this week the Law on the Management of Pharmaceuticals as saying that medicine and health equipment must bear ministry registration numbers and sellers are required to have permits.

It also said medical products must be sold in pharmacies, not on online stores.

I've seen hand sanitizer, gloves and masks on sale in loads of places and haven't noticed any huge prices. I've bought pharmaceuticals recently too and the price was normal.

I've also seen these items for sale at normal prices, or maybe just a little higher, but certainly not 'skyrocketed'.
Another example of the fake news Khmer Times is spreading.
Wasn't it announced by the government that they would crack down on fake news outlets?

I must have missed something, everything appears "normal" and I haven't seen a Khmer times article saying prices have "skyrocketed" There is an article in Cambodian Daily about prices skyrocketing and mentioning the Khmer Times but its source is Vietnamplus the same as the OP.

Edit: OK I found the offending article in Khmer Times 3rd April 2020
