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.

they set up all these measures to social distance, avoid large gatherings, mask wearing but how many out there still use paper money ?

I see quite a few shops spraying the paper, after touching it though, and then putting it in the register. Then they spray their own hands.

Forget about old people, start with the people who have most contacts/risk of spreading it.
No idea if there is any system at all. I know perhaps 50 people who’ve had their shots, some already had their second one, all below the age of 30 and none of them high-risk or frontline.
That's insane.
Totally.

A mini mart down the street from me is owned by a lady in her 30's. Her husband is low level police.

2 weeks ago I am at her mart and she's wearing a tank top shirt and has a bright neon orange band aid on her shoulder from her vaccine.

She was strutting and clucking around like a proud hen.....showing off that band aid, lest anyone not notice.

Vaccines are becoming a status symbol in a status obsessed culture.
Did you tell her she has virtually no protection until a month after her second jab, and then it's just coin flip if it protects her?

That ought to stop the strutting.

Another problem, tiny perhaps compared with a rapidly spreading virus. But the new 'no exercise' law means that dogs can't be taken out for walks etc; so they spend all day howling in their owners' apartments. Absolute hell if you happen to live next door to a couple.

My neighbour's dogs bark no matter what. I don't think I've ever seen a Khmer owned dog that was trained remotely properly and listened to commands. I'm sure they exist, but they're in the vaaaaasst minority. Most just get yappers to make noise and deter thieves. Nevermind that having the dog(s) bark all night and the owner never checking in on why they're barking has any effect.

She should be well placed from 2 weeks after her second jab. See my post on John Campbell's take on Chile's vaccination programme. This is quite hopeful for Cambodia.

interesting numbers

Cambodia infected 6.389.... deaths 46
Laos 58 0
Singapore 60,831 30
Thailand 42,352 101

last 2 deaths in Cambodia;
The first fatality, number 45, was identified as a 55-year-old Cambodian man living in Sangkat O’Russey, Khan 7 Makara, Phnom Penh. He was admitted to the 100 Borey Medical Center on April 15, 2021 at 12:00 Noon minutes after being tested positive for COVID-19.
The second death, fatality number 46 involved a 49-year-old Cambodian man living in Sangkat Russey Keo, Khan Russey Keo, Phnom Penh. He was admitted to the Chak Angre Health Center after having tested positive for COVID-19 on April 15, 2021 at 00:16 with fever, cough, fatigue and a history of diabetes.
As seems many deaths in Cambodia are those testing positive and dying within a few days.
how many could have been saved if they went in early?

Probably a few in the best of times, but if you've ever walked into a public hospital here, you'd know that it likely wouldn't necessarily have made a huge difference, especially if the doctors are overworked and medical equipment at max capacity. Singapore's ratio is quite impressive.
