Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates December 2021)
Re: Information on Coronavirus in Cambodia from 8 March 2020 (Latest Updates)
Many countries are easing restrictions at this point, it is quite bad that Cambodia who had been largely spared is bucking the trend again. It certainly doesn't seem like things will be eased by summer like much of the west claims to want to achieve. Is HE's statement indicating he may ban foreign entries?

Maybe when things spiral out of control they will close the borders again.
But let's stay realistic. The '20th February event' is now nearly four weeks ago, and even though yesterday they reported 105 cases (the day before yesterday just 20 cases so maybe some results were delayed?) I don't have the feeling things are spiraling out of control. Maybe I'm too optimistic, maybe I don't want to see things getting out of control, but over the last 14 months I've heard predictions of doom for Cambodia, hell - I was convinced doom would come, and nothing big happened.

That's because the population isn't old, overweight, and not many smokers.

Haha countries are doing better now and easing their restrictions yet still pulling in ridiculously higher figures than Cambodia,KTabi wrote:Many countries are easing restrictions at this point, it is quite bad that Cambodia who had been largely spared is bucking the trend again.

For example the UK now 24million have been vaccinated are finishing lockdown next month on the 12th because of easing figures..... yet yesterday still recorded 110 deaths and 5294 new cases.... thats more than 3x as many new cases in 1 day than Cambodia have had in 1 year....

Certainly many many countries are worse off than Cambodia in infections, I think Cambodia is being cautious because their medical infrastructure is not great and they would have difficulties coping. Cambodia certainly deserves some credit for keeping it out to this point. If they had been strict against Chinese quarantine I think they would still be in great shape.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 9:06 amHaha countries are doing better now and easing their restrictions yet still pulling in ridiculously higher figures than Cambodia,KTabi wrote:Many countries are easing restrictions at this point, it is quite bad that Cambodia who had been largely spared is bucking the trend again.

Definitely, i was stuck in the UK part of last year and the government were seen as a joke, forcing lockdowns to citizens yet leaving the borders wide open with no forced quarantine and no lockdown policing, no one took any of it seriously because of that,KTabi wrote:Certainly many many countries are worse off than Cambodia in infections, I think Cambodia is being cautious because their medical infrastructure is not great and they would have difficulties coping.

Yesterday morning, 105 new cases were reported, 64 of them from Kandal province.
https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/ ... recoveries
Today it is reported that all 64 of those cases in Kandal came from one quarantine centre (ex-casino), see https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50825715/q ... ed-centre/
So, that is quite encouraging in that, minus that mishap, yesterday's numbers would have been a lot less.
BTW, how can there be a casino in Kandal? How does this square with the 200km radius of PP deal with Naga?

Good read about Naga an some things i did not know.
Cambodia’s NagaCorp gaming giant is suddenly at the center of a controversy that could break the nation’s Covid-19 containment winning streak amid its worst-yet viral outbreak.
The Hong Kong-listed integrated casino firm, which has exclusive gambling rights in Phnom Penh, earlier this month shut its two casino and hotel resorts in the capital after 11 workers tested positive for Covid-19.
Cambodia recorded a daily record of 105 new Covid-19 cases today (March 16), forcing the government to restrict travel between regions. Cambodia has among the fewest cases in Asia at 1,430, but that figure has tripled from a month ago.
Last week, Cambodia acknowledged its first confirmed Covid-19 fatality. It’s unclear what role, if any, NagaCorp’s integrated resort may have played in the current Covid outbreak.
NagaWorld, the branded casino-hotel in the capital Phnom Penh, has tried to portray its closure as a cautious response to the pandemic, but in reality it was under heavy pressure to do so.
After the workers began their slowdown on February 25, the firm’s owners decided to close operations on March 1. They stated at the time in a letter to shareholders that 3,000 staff had been tested and eleven received positive tests.
In a bid to reopen the casinos and hotels, workers returned for a second test on March 12 but found that their appointment times were ill-planned, leading to winding queues and packed crowds around the casino for much of the day
NagaCorp’s founder and chief executive officer, Chen Lip Keong, a Malaysian billionaire who became a naturalized Cambodian citizen in 2020, owns a 66% stake in NagaCorp through two wholly-owned funds, ChenLipKeong Fund Limited and ChenLipKeong Capital Limited, both of which are registered in the Cayman Islands.
He also controls stakes in NagaCorp through a discretionary trust, the ChenLa Foundation.
https://asiatimes.com/2021/03/nagacorp- ... d7ff190aa4Some Cambodian news outlets are leading with this positive spin. NagaCorp founder Chen is reportedly very close to the Khmer Times, an English-language daily that writes favorably of the Cambodian government and is owned by another Malaysian businessman.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
