Jerry, beware of both of them. It looks has a friend has got the Chikungunya up in Poi Pet.

I was down by almost 2weeks due to this.
First few days was pain all over the body and legs. The heels were so painful and couldn't walk!
I'm 6ft and weigh around 220pounds and it was terrible.
I felt tired every day... and i could sleep the whole day just to wake up to eat something light... No appetite at all.
Fever started around Day5 but your body still feeling so weak and tired...
For me, rashes only started to be more visually obvious on Day8... but i was feeling much stronger by Day7 onward.
First 3days, i had to use a walking stick to assist me in my walking. Every step was painful below at the heel and kneecap area.
Around Day10, i was recovered. I lost 20pounds...

You won't know it until you got hit and feeling painful..... Just be careful and wear long pants and bright places.

First they suspected Dengue but 2 tests done on Day3 and Day5, results were negative but the symptoms were quite similar...

Cambodia: Govt announces Chikungunya has hits 15 provinces
Saturday, 08 Aug 2020 5:31pm

PHNOM PENH, Aug 8 (The Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Ministry of Health spokeswoman Or Vandine has announced that the chikungunya outbreak in the Kingdom has spread to 15 provinces. Some 1,700 people are now suspected to have the disease.

Vandine urged people to prevent its further spread by eliminating shelters for the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes which are attracted to standing water and breed anywhere water collects.

She told The Post that the National Dengue Control Programme of the National Centre of Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control published a report on Wednesday revealing the number of suspected cases. She said the numbers varied greatly in each province.

“According to the previous report, we had the disease in 12 provinces. But now we have three more provinces – Kampong Thom, Battambang and Kandal,” she said.

The other remaining provinces with cases are Stung Treng, Pailin, Pursat, Oddar Meanchey, Kampot, Tbong Khmum, Takeo, Preah Sihanouk, Preah Vihear, Banteay Meanchey, Kampong Cham and Siem Reap.

Out of the suspected patients tested in Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear, Siem Reap, Stung Treng, Preah Sihanouk and Battambang provinces, 72.4 per cent were positive for chikungunya, Vandine said.

“Please be careful in protecting yourself amid the rainy season [when] mosquitoes [like to] breed,” she said.

She said most of the people suspected of having the disease had recovered and returned to their homes. Only a small number are being treated in hospitals.

The suspected cases, she said, had increased noticeably in Siem Reap – from 467 cases to 674. Kampong Cham from 146 to 280 cases, Kandal from 142 to 164 and Banteay Meanchey from 211 to 227.

As Chikungunya rages in Cambodia, Vietnam on high alert

Cambodia has seen the re-emergence of the Chikungunya virus in 15 cities and provinces with more than 2,000 infected cases so far.

This outbreak has caused alarm in Vietnam and the administration of An Giang Province in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta has required relevant agencies to strengthen measures to prevent the Chikungunya outbreaks from entering Vietnam.

An official letter was sent to departments, agencies, and the People’s Committees of 11 districts, towns, and cities in the province on Wednesday to increase alertness and monitoring of the Chikungunya epidemic occurring in Cambodia, said An Giang vice-chairman Le Van Phuoc.

Among these localities, four share a border with Vietnam. Two of them — Kandal and Takeo Provinces — border An Giang, putting the Mekong Delta province at high risk of transmission.

Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted to humans through infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the letter mentioned, adding that its symptoms may include acute fever, severe joint pain, muscle pain, a headache, nausea, fatigue, and a rash.
