More details on the Covid-19 infections reported today:


Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): The Ministry of Health on the afternoon of April 9, 2021 issued a press release confirming the continued discovery of 576 people newly infected with Covid-19, most of whom live in Phnom Penh.

According to the press release, all 576 reported cases were spread in the community: 544 in Phnom Penh, 1 in Kampong Cham, 2 in Siem Reap, 1 in Kandal, 12 in Sihanoukville, and in Svay Rieng province, 16 people.

Seventy people were healed and released from the hospital.

It would be very useful to know how many locations were involved. If the vast majority are concentrated in just the three locations - Orussey market and the two clothing factories, then that’s better than if they were spread over many locations.

I fear this will be getting a lot worse.
It may take emergency mass vaccinations to bring it under control.

I guess (enclosed) market & factory management is more efficient in the short term given the numbers of vaccines available.

For some reason (we really couldn't guess why) so far they Competent Authorities have kept a close eye for those. Esp. (garment) factories with hundreds of workers in an enclosed area day after day....

For information.

i agree, the west has let a bunch of puffed-up mba's hand over our industry, leaving nothing
but china are not exactly being good sports, now they have some degree of power
they need to respect international law, for a start
but this should be moved to another thread
