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.

Yes I did. Very few who get the virus enter any kind of severe state.
I can't imagine the Khmer authorities inviting 5000 people to stay in a hospital if not sick.

I'm no doctor, maybe you are(?), but the people I saw in the video seemed to fit the 'could be treated at home' condition to me.

It looks like they're talking bout home treatment and at the same time locking up everyone testing positive.

Wait what?

It's been one year that some claim "tomorrow you'll see".

I can already hear "You see it's now".

Could be. Who knows what they are up to.

So much official information, but what is actually happening as far with curfews and lockdowns ?

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong. My summary so far is that Phnom Penh and Takhmao city in Kandal province are in strict lockdown. This means that people are confined to their houses, and that shops and factories are closed, except for essential services. (Sadly, beer deliveries are not included as essential AFAIK.)The markets are shut - or not ? - usually they shut for KNY anyway.
In Siem Reap and Kampot/Kep there is a curfew at night, bars are closed with restaurants still open, but otherwise no big changes during the daytime.
Sihanoukville has issued a ban on alcohol sales for 14 days, and while there are restrictions at the Central market (due to a couple of cases of Covid), it's still open and there is no lockdown inside the province - also I'm not sure if there is a curfew ? Casinos are open if there have been no Covid cases reported on site recently.
Our man in Ratankiri (hey, yes you), tells us that life there is pretty much as normal for the moment.
Any more news from the provinces ?
Corrections welcome. :beer3:

Serra supermarket in Ratanakiri saw the Iron Grandpa this morning and banned sales of alcohol for 14 days. There's also a 14 day cerfew in the province from 5am-9pm. Bars and restaurants have to close at 7pm.

Lots of police on Mao preventing entrance/ exit from BKK III.
None on Monivong.
Scarier than malaria.
