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.

And why the hell would you want to stop first dose vaccinations?

As someone suggest a few post back only enough vaccines for the second doses

if it were spiraling out of control we'd be seeing 1000's/day by now
but we had 500+ new cases/day a week ago, down to 1,2,300 now
according to official figures

still no explanation for why vaccinations have been cancelled for just 3 days
and just when new supply has arrived
It’s going to be 618 cases today. 493 in PP alone.
Just saw that now. Anyone who thinks this lockdown is going to end after 14 days can probably think again.

Travel Ban and Resort Temporary Closure Extended for Eight More Days

AKP Phnom Penh, April 18, 2021 -- The ban of travel and the temporary closure of tourist resorts across Cambodia will continue for eight more days until April 28.

They need to focus vaccinations on hospital workers (22 of the 227 cases of #COVID19 announced on Friday were doctors at the Preah Kosamak Hospital), plus factory and market workers. Forget about old people, start with the people who have most contacts/risk of spreading it.

No idea if there is any system at all. I know perhaps 50 people who’ve had their shots, some already had their second one, all below the age of 30 and none of them high-risk or frontline.

Totally.

A mini mart down the street from me is owned by a lady in her 30's. Her husband is low level police.

2 weeks ago I am at her mart and she's wearing a tank top shirt and has a bright neon orange band aid on her shoulder from her vaccine.

She was strutting and clucking around like a proud hen.....showing off that band aid, lest anyone not notice.

Vaccines are becoming a status symbol in a status obsessed culture.
