AKP Phnom Penh, November 17, 2020 --

Two patients have recovered from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), according to a press release of the Ministry of Health issued this morning.

The two new cured cases are H.E. Suos Yara, 47, a Lawmaker coming in contact with the Nov. 3 Incident, and a 31-year-old Cambodian woman living in Kratie province who arrived in Cambodia on Oct. 19 from Japan via South Korea, it pointed out.

They have been allowed to be discharged from the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital in Phnom Penh after being tested negative twice consecutively, the press release added.

Meanwhile, it continued, a new imported case of COVID-19 was detected on a Cambodian-American man, 56, coming from the U.S. via China (Taiwan). He arrived in Phnom Penh on Nov. 15 and was tested positive for the deadly virus. He has been admitted to the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital.

The other 164 passengers on the same flight with negative test results have been put under 14-day quarantine, it said.

CEO News replies: This is standard practice in most of the Cambodian press, ie Taiwan is referred to as China(Taiwan), therefore it is not surprizing that a Taiwanese man was identified as a Chinese national in the news item below(where the Taiwanese man was understandably upset because he was described as a drunk Chinese): newsworthy/drunk-chinese-driver-hits-ca ... 41644.html
CEO has apologized to the Taiwanese person concerned, who tried to do the right thing after the accident.

Cannot say Taiwanese. By King’s decree.

I ran into this getting permission to marry.

Had to say I am an American born in China.

Was forced to declare Chinese.

As from today it doesn't matter, everyone is doing the full 14 days if you are a general foreigner.

I bet those passengers were thinking they made it just in time before the implementation of the mandatory 14 day monitored quarantine, wouldn't be surprised if some of them had even changed their tickets to arrive before the 18th

We are all from Taiwan. All naturalized, of course. Parents were worried (and still worried) about the forceful liberation of Taiwan by the PRC. Previously it would be nuclear barrage. Now conventional invasion.

Official Cambodian documents are not allowed to list Taiwanese or Taiwan (country).

Just another thing that makes the Kingdom of Wonder so unique. And frustrating to get married in. But so worth it.
