Phnom Penh bars forced to close, arrests made

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.

Possibly a rumour. Their standard response to a positive case would be to quarantine everyone else in the bar and get everyone around that small area tested. I don’t think either of those things happened.

Have any other bars or establishments been asked to close besides the ones on 104, 118, 130 and 136 or does covid only exist in these places ?

I guess it's not just the usual host of fun souvenirs from the bar these days.

When that was done, the girls went inside where they remained until the coast was clear. Police did not go inside the bars, except for one, maybe Bunny, which got the full raid treatment including girls taken away.
Apparently Owner of blue bird bar 130 rumoured to have been arrested for some reason

Other bar owners ive spoke to said police didn’t go in/have to sign anything but got told if they open before they say they will get “big trouble”

Street 136 and 104 were apparently forced to sign papers saying they will remain closed, bars on 130/118 i think just got verbally told

Rumour has it that the mill is on overtime and will be busy for a quite a while.
