Whatzup - Breaking Cambodia Covid News on Outbreaks and Lockdowns

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.

Stuck in a red zone? It's not all bad. At least you will get vaccinated.

All People In Red Zones To Be Vaccinated Against COVID-19
ចេញផ្សាយ ថ្ងៃទី ២៨ ខែ មេសា ឆ្នាំ ២០២១
AKP Phnom Penh, April 28, 2021 --

All people of 18 years old and over living in Red zones, including foreigners, will get inoculations against the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a voice message last night, Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE ordered to vaccinate all people in Phnom Penh capital and Kandal province – about 3 million people according to him – by beginning with the Red zones to build herd immunity against COVID-19.

The Premier agreed to use the 1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines in stock and the 400,000 doses of China-donated Sinopharm vaccine, which will arrive in Cambodia tonight, for the inoculation.

ចេញផ្សាយ ថ្ងៃទី ២៨ ខែ មេសា ឆ្នាំ ២០២១
AKP Phnom Penh, April 28, 2021 --

The COVID-19 zoning – Red, Dark Yellow, and Yellow zones – will be reevaluated in seven days, underlined H.E. Nuon Pharoth, Deputy Governor of Phnom Penh Municipality, at a press conference on the continued lockdown of Phnom Penh capital and Takhmao town of Kandal province this morning.

If the COVID-19 transmission is under control, the Red zones will be changed to Dark Yellow, and at the same time, the Yellow zones will turn to Dark Yellow or Red if people in those areas fail to carry out the administrative measures against COVID-19 spread, he said.
