Yes, I think it's out of control, and has been for a year. The fact they still relate every case to the 'Feb. 20th event' is a joke. Their attempts to apply 'Chinese style measures' in a country where 10.000 riel is enough to make a guard look away for a few minutes are a joke too.

But for some reason in Cambodia there are not 7,000 daily cases / tens of daily deaths like in the countries just coming out of the winter season. Of course one reason is they don't even have the testing capacity to confirm these amounts.

Will be interesting to see what happens when the flu (rainy) season starts.

its not yet out of control, its still at the smallest of infant stages, the UK are still raking in more cases and deaths per day, than Cambodia have had in over 1 year totalled.

if they keep up with how they are handling it, it shouldnt get too out of control, at least the people in cambodia are concerned about covid, in the UK no one really gave a shit until it was too late

Anyone entering Kampong Chhnang province required to undergo quarantine

Kampong Chhnang provincial governor Chhour Chandoeun has issued a guideline for COVID-19 prevention measures, saying that anyone who enters the province will be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine and get tested for COVID-19.

In the statement issued today, Chandoeun said commune authorities and the commune police stations have to monitor people regarding the number of their family members, and members who have left home for work very far, places they have gone to especially the areas with the highest risk of COVID-19 infection.

The statement said the guideline is implemented to promote hygiene, safety, and to strengthen security during the Khmer New Year celebrations.

The provincial administration also encourages everyone to communicate with one another online rather than to meet face to face. Anyone who refuses to undergo quarantine and to have COVID-19 testing will be punished according to the law.

It said that those who wish to attend religious ceremonies are encouraged to opt for a nearby pagoda, with a small gathering, practicing social distancing, having their temperature checked, wearing face masks, and washing hands with sanitiser.

Covid Alert in Kampong Trach

Cambodia News, (Kampot Province): A woman is reported to have tested positive for Covid-19 on returning to her village in Kampong Trach district, Kampot. The woman, who arrived from Phnom Penh on a motorbike with her husband, is said to have had "flu" symptoms, such as headache and fever, for over a week before the trip, but she refused to see a doctor.

However, before leaving Phnom Penh on 30 March, the woman did go to a hairdresser salon and did some shopping. Then, on arrival in Prey Pruos village, over several days, the woman went shopping and ate at a local bor-bor shop, and she also consulted several local village healers, but by 4 April, she was sent to Kampong Trach Referral Hospital, where the woman and her husband were tested for Covid-19; she was positive and he was negative, and they are both being held in quarantine.

Everyone who was in contact with this woman, even indirectly, has been asked to self-isolate at home, and the authorities are testing all those who are known to have been in direct contact.

The unreliable test results are contributing to it all.

6. SARS-CoV-2 re-testing in staff, patients and residents in health and social care settings

Immunocompetent staff, patients and residents who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR should be exempt from routine re-testing by PCR or LFD antigen tests (for example, repeated whole setting screening or screening prior to hospital discharge) within a period of 90 days from their initial illness onset or test (if asymptomatic) unless they develop new COVID-19 symptoms. This is because fragments of inactive virus can be persistently detected by PCR in respiratory tract samples following infection – long after a person has completed their isolation period and is no longer infectious

To repeat - fragments of inactive virus can be persistently detected by PCR in respiratory tract samples following infection – long after a person has completed their isolation period and is no longer infectious

It is out of control, they have no idea where to look or what to do but to give some perception of control they relate every case back to the 'Feb. 20th event'.
They have the weather and God knows which other factors on their side preventing mass spreading in a short time. For some reasons in the big scheme of things in Cambodia covid isn't a big thing but Cambodia will have to start to live with it, just like every other country.

It's stories like this proving it's out of control plus proving people don't care as much about covid as you think:

My two cents, the rich and middle class are scared about covid, the poor just worry about their livelihoods after one year of this.

I think I am firmly in the 'out of control' camp. With the limited testing capacity, and demands of about a third of that for travellers, quarantines and patients, they haven't got a hope in hell in tracking, tracing and testing everyone thought to have been in direct contact with the current positive cases, let alone the indirect ones. There are now too many places on their lists and they can't close them all.

If they got the WHO to set up 20 labs and they conducted 50,000 tests a day, on random people in random places across Phnom Penh, I think the numbers revealed would send them all running for the hills. When you keep telling people about a "deadly virus" that is "vicious" and all the other hyperbole, you can never admit it is out of control.

Hopefully the numbers will settle down to about 50 a day, and a few deaths per month. They can live with that.

The fact each person who dies still has a name and isn’t just a number/statistic shows that it is not yet out of control, 2500 cases out of 16,000,000 people, as i say this is still in the infancy stage with the potential to get a whole lot worse

It's out of control and won't be going back to "normal" as with previous outbreaks. The fact that there aren't tons of deaths compared to the UK is due to the fact that (as I've mentioned countless times for over a year now) people here are 1-young, 2-fairly healthy and 3-the weather may be in their favour. That's all. But it's definitely out of control, no matter what the testing capabilities are.
