Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates December 2021)
Re: Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates April 2021)
Has anyone seen the sign of the virus in their areas?
Last week I was traveling on a road nearby and I saw the ambulance with the medics all dressed in the covid gear, there was a lot of bystanders looking on. I don't know if that is normal now for the ambulance people to do so.
Also, my partner tells me on the return from the local shop someone a few streets away was just diagnosed with covid19.

They really are pinning their hopes on the vaccines stopping Covid spreading in PP. It was a gamble to lift the red zones but so far there's only been relatively small increases in numbers so it looks like they're getting away with it.

A neighbour in my building was taken away at the beginning of May and my building was sealed. Only the next day did the sangkat release it (for whatever reason I do not know). That was quite close enough thank you.AndyKK wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 8:18 am Has anyone seen the sign of the virus in their areas?

Plenty of ambulances along Sisowath quay.

Every time I have seen an ambulance they've been suited up. And watched by a crowd of onlookers. Standard these days. My regular beer guy is still not back but his wife/store was taped off for two weeks - his wife must have tested negative because she has since reopened. The other drinks shop across from me, also closed and taped for two weeks and reopened. Their whole building (including the local doctor) was also closed and taped off, with guards stationed outside to make sure nobody left the building. Drinks shop has reopened but the doctor is still closed and he's probably at the field hospital with my regular beer guy.AndyKK wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 8:18 am Has anyone seen the sign of the virus in their areas?

Edit: I still can't get vaccinated and have to wait until they announce a mass vaccination plan for Daun Penh.

Phnom Penh authority imposes new regulation on businesses
The Phnom Penh authority has instructed business owners to provide information on employees who request leave under suspicion of COVID-19 infection. These businesses include restaurants, hotels, and companies. This was the latest move made by the authorities to contain the spread of the pandemic in Phnom Penh.
According to a report by the Phnom Penh Municipal Administration, employees who served in various businesses requested for leave due to illness unaware that they were carrying COVID-19 and after their testing they did not wait for their results before returning to their place of employment. This put them in direct contact with people, who were in turn infected with COVID-19 as well.

Re: Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates April 2021)
Is anyone aware of a centre in PP that is still giving Astazenica shots to people over 60? I tried 2 of the newly opened centres and one had Sinovac only, while the other had Sinovac and Sinocham. Both these Chinese vaccines have now been approved by the WHO. They say there is no evidence yet that these vaccines have a negative effect on the elderly, but that there has not been enough testing yet to make a definitive statement on the subject. As a result, I would prefer the Astrazenica, if it is available anywhere.

I recall reading they ran out of the AZ vaccine here a long time ago. As to whether they will get more..dunno.. I think the last lot was supplied from India but with their own covid problems.. who knows?Gilmore wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 6:13 pm Is anyone aware of a centre in PP that is still giving Astazenica shots to people over 60?

The AZ was donated via the COVAX initiative. According to their site they only have a total of 1.1m shots earmarked for Cambodia (at least, at this stage):clutchcargo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 6:28 pmI recall reading they ran out of the AZ vaccine here a long time ago.

Khmounh medical centre (way way out past Makro) was giving AZ shots as of last Tuesday 25th. I was very surprised to see they had any left. I told an 65 year old aussie mate who shot up there the next day. He was told they had 2nd doses only. They offered him Sinovac which he refused.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 6:28 pmI recall reading they ran out of the AZ vaccine here a long time ago. As to whether they will get more..dunno..

The Covax scheme is overwhelmed with demand and given Cambodia's enviable access to Sinovac, I can't see them getting much more out of them. I think there were 320,000 doses, so that's 160,000 over 60's. The important people went first and a bit made it's way out to ordinary people, but that window of opportunity seems to be closed now.
