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.

Does the virus only spread during the night?

Although many Khmers have generally heeded advise to avoid gatherings and the streets have been more empty, there has been simply far too much stuff going on behind closed doors. The massive showboating of such activities on social media (“look, we are in the gym, that’s supposed to be closed”, “look at 20 of us in a room getting drunk” etc) was always gonna eventually irk the authorities.

Add to that the concealed acceptance that they have lost control of the outbreak. Just saying that every case is “connected to the Feb 20 incident” may theoretically be true but the huge amount of independent clusters makes that statement pointless in terms of contact tracing.
It’s out of control (quite telling when a province records 60 cases one day and 2 the next) and now they want to look decisive. It’s been the same all over the world, here it’s just a year late.

60 cases one day and 2 the next is clearly a timing issue and a bottleneck in testing. When Sihanoukville can have none for 5 days and then 145 in one day clearly shows this. The numbers are pretty meaningless due to this imo

This is (one of) the other issue(s). Being diagnosed when on deaths door doesn't help. If you are in need of a ventilator it probably means you have had it for at least a week/possibly 2, and just going about your business as normal
