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.

Saw this OTOF

I guess this is devolving into pitting us against each other and creating a snitch network.

What the fuck is going on? AndyKK can't even get to the pharmacy without being threatened with arrest. This shit better not get extended again after the 28th.

Individual sports activities within the geography of the village where they live, avoiding gatherings of more than two (2) people


What's this all about? You can go for a walk around the village? (wherever that is)
So was anyone undertaking some 'sports activities' in the village of Daun Penh...aka...walking along Riverside for some fresh as the sun went down tonight?
Don't go out after dark Clutch. There be dragons out there...

What's the procedure if you're going out to buy food to stock up?

They've put the ticker tape at the top @ Sisowath and again on st13 however no probs for st 5 to Kandal Market. Plus, many minimart within those boundaries.

We stocked up already a few days ago and Mrs Cargo hasn't had any issues going to Kandal market.

Angkar has many eyes... This is just like the KR days when you could tell them your neighbour was a CIA agent or something. Talk about making people hate/suspicious of each other. My place had tons of people (including myself) walking and cycling around this afternoon. Now I'm going to be a bit reluctant in case someone snitches... As the only barang I kinda stand out.

The first AZ jab gives you 80% protection. Meta studies from your country, DOC. (GB) I guess.
80% protection against what? I'm always confused when people use percentages to talk about how effective a vaccine is. As far as I know, nobody has ever claimed that any of the current vaccines will prevent you from contracting Covid. That's not their purpose. Their aim is to stop you from having such bad symptoms that you need to go to hospital or you die from it.

So when people give a percentage to describe the effectiveness of a vaccine, what exactly do they mean? We know the Chinese vaccines are a little over 50% effective. But what does that mean? That 50% of people will get no benefit whatsoever from them but 50% will, albeit to varying degrees? And to what degree? What percentage of those go on to be hospitalised? What percentage die? Does a 50% efficacy rate mean that it gives you a fifty-fifty chance of survival if you catch Covid? Does a 50% rate mean that your symptoms would have been twice as bad had you not had the shot?

I'm not sure anyone knows these answers. It's another case of people throwing numbers into the wind that they've read online without giving them a second thought as to what they actually mean. I'm not saying the efficacy rates aren't legitimate, I'm just questioning whether people fully understand them in context.

Our normal local tuktuks can't take us anywhere by police order.
We can't go to the supermarket- only walk to the local market.
