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.

What are the odds of one out of three deaths today coming from my village with about 600 people living in it? Seems pretty unlikely right?

Not doubting Cambodia is doing a great job, but I feel like they're pushing a little too hard towards 'victory'.

Agree. CEO News quotes the official government figures, but as Kammekor suggests, this information should be treated with precaution.

The elephant in the room is the 59 Thai nationals that crossed back in to Thailand on just one day last week who were all tested in Thailand upon entry, with 35 of them testing positive for covid (as reported in Thai media)

(no opinion from me stated, since it is so obvious as to what is occurring).

I wonder how long we can keep calling this the Feb. 20 outbreak.

The policy of no more mass testing/contact testing and only taking a covid test if you are actually sick is a sensible step that has allowed the country to reopen and illustrates the benefits of not focusing on "cases per day" "deaths per cases" and other such nonsense now that most populations are vaccinated to quite high numbers

Well done the Cambodian govt

The woman in my village never was tested with a PCR test, she self tested. She never received treatment or oxygen, but died because of lungcovid.
She's nowhere to be found in the statistics.

Well done Cambodian government?

Why no treatment?

If ill, covid health centres are available; surely she or her family should have sought treatment when she was both ill and self test positive?

You're given a bag of pills in case of a positive self test. I'm talking a bout a small village 580 km from Phnom Penh. Covid center was set up in the local school. School is up and running now. So no covid center. Good luck finding a private clinic willing to accept you.
People there die of covid and don't appear in the statistics anymore. So the statistics are not correct now. That's the only point I make.
