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.

Inter-province travel ban re-imposed as from tonight, Tuesday. I guess the authorities realised that infected people were travelling from PP and other infected hot zones, and spreading it quickly to the rest of the country.

I know many Khmer who left for the provinces in the past few days due to unemployment.
Most are factory workers.
B1617 variant from India officially in Cambodia, says Ministry of Health
The first British variant case (B117) involving foreigners entering Cambodia was detected during the February 20 community event. The patients were treated and discharged after being successfully cured.

This case took place last month.

She added “We’ve found new virus transformation from India (B1617) from foreigners who entered the country last month and during the February 20 Community Event period.

“He was also cured by our team of doctors. A new mutated strain of the virus originating from the United Kingdom (B117) has also been found on foreigners entering Cambodia.”

The new mutations from India and other mutated strains in this country is considered by international experts to be more vicious than other new mutated viruses from South Africa, England and Brazil.

The Cambodian government has decided to temporarily suspend flights from India and through India to prevent crossings to Cambodia.

No I can’t either. Maybe fake news? I was sent an audio clip of HE announcing the travel ban over the kings birthday period. Interesting that it was only an audio clip. Some Khmers said they recognised HE’s voice.
But I haven’t seen any further announcements on Khmer Times etc.
It would have made good sense to have a temporary travel ban as a lot of the recent infections are occurring in provincial towns from visitors arriving from Phnom Penh and other corona hotspots.

It would also be a huge u-turn after he recently overruled provincial governors and made them retract their quarantine procedures.
