From Vietnam:
Cambodia border, Mekong Delta named 'hotspots' for possible Covid-19 outbreak
By Le An April 16, 2021 | 03:28 pm GMT+7
Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long warned the risk of a new Covid-19 outbreak in Vietnam was "very high" amid a significant surge in community transmissions from neighboring countries.

Long told an online meeting Friday the southwest border with Cambodia and southwestern provinces of the country, better known as the Mekong Delta region, are now "major hotspots" at high risk of possible Covid-19 outbreaks.

Therefore, he urged border forces to prevent illegal entry or exit as well as to ensure those entering Vietnam from neighboring countries are sent to centralized quarantine facilities.

Vietnam's border with Cambodia spans 1,137 kilometers, including the border with four Mekong Delta provinces An Giang, Dong Thap, Kien Giang and Long An. Other Vietnamese provinces bordering Cambodia are Binh Phuoc and Tay Ninh which are near HCMC, and Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Dak Nong in the Central Highlands.

"If we neglect and let those carrying the virus, especially the U.K. and South African strains, enter the country and then infect the community, pandemic control would become very difficult," Long said.

Both Cambodia and Thailand have become epicenters in Southeast Asia with a significant surge in Covid-19 community transmissions in recent days.

Just last month, Vietnam had suffered a spate of infections after a group of Vietnamese returned home illegally from Cambodia.

Three of them, all women 25 and 26 years old, were confirmed infected after they returned on a fishing vessel that docked at Phu Quoc Island of Kien Giang.

I just went for a walk and lots of stretches of streets are taped off: 102, 108, 110, 118 etc. Motos just lift the tape and ride under it.

If later they are manned with police, by the others I have seen, you won't be walking far, and no one will be lifting the tape.
