February 20, 2021, Covid Community Outbreak (Koh Pich and Beyond)

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.

Very worrying! Up to 63 locations closed in connection with the "February 20" community event, while Naga 2 is also closed

Is this Club Love? If so, that's getting a lot closer to our barang hangouts. Plenty of the staff on Riverside end up in there after work.

NO, it’s not. It’s been listed a few days now and I initially thought it was Club Love but the location doesn’t match. They also issued a statement:

Last three days the newly identified cases have numbered: 25, 40 and now 65. That's not great.

Are those testing positive (aside from the imported arrival cases) coming primarily from the 1,501 quarantined, or from the non-quarantined community?

Don't know. The documents the MoH post on FB are in Khmer unfortunately.

195 now, up 58 from yesterday + 6 imported cases.

That includes 6 positives arriving from China. Funny that, I thought they were all tested prior to travel.

Looking at the nationalities, it's now out of the Chinese community and getting about a bit.

Of the 58 COVID-19 positive cases involving the February 20 Community Event, 41 were Chinese, nine Vietnamese, five Cambodians, one Korean, one Singaporean and one Japanese, according to the Ministry of Health.


I wonder how many hospital beds they have available here? They currently have 217 patients in there isolation units and that number is set to grow. I think we might be about to find out.
