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.

they returned a week ago, and are only now being tested and quarantined?
what about quarantining their families in the provinces
as it's much likely they took it from phnom penh than brought it back

it's just health-security theater (a slapstick comedy perhaps)
and punishment for disobedience

PM urges people to stay home
Prime Minister HE today called on the masses to stay indoors as much as possible to contain the spread of COVID-19, as Cambodia’s neighbours has not seen the curve flatten yet.

In a post on his official Facebook page, the premier asked people in the kingdom not to leave home except when absolutely necessary.

“Unless it is necessary, please do not stay outside,” Mr HE said. “And when you need to go, do not go as a group; only the head of the family or the member who really needs to go out to do something, should go out.”

Mr HE said that despite the positive result shown by his government in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic with no new cases reported for 12 consecutive days, the people needed to take extra precautions to protect themselves and others from contracting the coronavirus.

122 COVID cases reported . . . 110 cases of recovery
and a few left the country already

so what justification is there to restrict movement
when there are only a handful of active cases, and no new ones for nearly 2 weeks?

He’s simply covering his arse if it all goes Pete Tong.
If it does goes to shit he can say “I told you to stay home, I told you to social distance..... etc etc”

And if nothing happens he can say “well done for following my orders”

It’s a win-win situation all round for him.
