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.

Definitely a good deal compared to the sinovac
You may want to check if Guam Air VnV (Air Vaccination and Vacation) program is still good. The program was implemented in July to attract Taiwanese (when they could not get any vaccine then) who want vaccination to spend a good vacation on the island and get free vaccination at the same time, with choice between Pfizer, Moderna and J&J. Not sure if the program is eligible to citizens from other countries beside Taiwan though.

PS: Ooops, I called Taiwan a country. I need to start apologizing in Chinese on Youtube like John Cena.

Call me suspicious, but with daily cases dropping according to the official numbers, why the effort?

When state institutions were full with covid patients they allowed the private sector to step in. They wouldn't lie about the numbers, would they?
I'll double down with your suspicions.

Why would you want to pay a small fortune, no doubt, for private hospitals to send unqualified staff to your home and stick their noses in, when you are at home with mild symptoms?

Maybe a choice is coming for us foreigners: Stay at home with your Delta Covid @ $100 per day health monitoring, (minimum 14 days, plus 2 PCR tests) or you can come into one of the state run facilities. Up to you...

Quote - Although there are no available figures from authorities on how many of the returnees are drug addicts, the Interior Ministry has said almost all of them are.

It was mentioned before that returning migrant workers whom seemed to be drug addicts were causing problems to staff and other patients in covid19 centres. If this is not an added problem itself. What of the migrant workers attitude on drugs, for so many to become addicts is it the money from working in Thailand, or is it the availability of drugs. The thing is in the farming industry the Thai's want the work done fast, so naturally to give workers Yaba gets the job done.

more yellow journalism from the khmer times an wonder how much fact checking went into it?

A drug addict withdrawing, is lucky if he can get up much less become violent

just as many drugs in Cambodia as Thailand and doubt many migrant workers, of which easily 40% are women, are drug addicts>
NOW if he specified returning fishermen, it might be more believable

More than 600 people at the drug rehabilitation and treatment centre in Banteay Meanchey province have tested positive for Covid-19, including at least 20 cases of the highly transmissible Delta variant.

Banteay Meanchey provincial information department director Sek Sokhom told The Post on August 19 that 601 people out of 660 had tested positive for Covid-19 at Phnom Bak New Life rehabilitation centre located in Sisophon town.

According to Sokhom, more than 20 of them were positive for the Delta variant and were moved to a separate hospital for treatment on August 18.

“This number is a preliminary finding by using the rapid tests, but we are still waiting to see the results again from more accurate PCR tests.

Just spotted something when browsing vaccine rollout statistics on ft.com - Cambodia overtook the US last week on doses per head.
