COVID-19 Outbreak 28 Nov: Aeon Mall Closed and Other Connected Breaking News

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.

Does this mean no deliveries of home cooked food, supplies, etc?
Two weeks drinking tea is going to be a bit of a strain.
Officially, no deliveries. But someone did facebrag today about getting a wine delivery. Wasn't me!
Food wise, some items on the quarantine menu are quite OK. At least you get a choice. Plus there is the 24hrs room service menu which is a step up in quality but you pay on top of the regular meals, not instead of.

From above link:
“The possibility to announce the end of the Nov. 28 event would not be made before Jan. 11, 2021 (the date for high school exam), but at least on Jan. 20, 2021, or in 35 days,” Mr HE said.

PM: High School Students Not Allowed to Take Exam Next Month
AKP Phnom Penh, December 15, 2020 --

High school students cannot sit for their exam rescheduled for Jan. 11, 2021, announced this morning Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE in his message to his compatriots broadcast live from his residence in Takhmao town, Kandal province.

The Premier made the announcement as the Nov. 28 community cluster transmission event has not yet ended even though it is under control.

“All high school students of this 2019-2020 academic year are all allowed to pass the exam [without taking it],” he suggested.

Anyway, Samdech Techo HE advised the high school students to continue studying hard at university.

This year’s high school exam has been postponed many times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While these are just suggestions so far, I can imagine they'll go through. The problem is that according to MOEYS rules, a student cannot enroll in a university unless they have passed their high school finals. So it will be like it was not that many years ago when cheating was rampant in high schools and anyone could pass. Maybe they intend for the students to do the exam at a later date? Seems messy, kids' education here has faced some serious disruption this year. :cry:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

This sounds like the gyms wont be opening anytime soon, and the bars and entertainment places look under threat of continued closure/restrictions.

Has anyone found a gym that has re-opened today?

“I would like to announce that the November 28 event is now under control. But I cannot yet declare it has ended. Citizens, please continue to maintain [heightened precautions] for the safety of all.

“The announcement of an end to the event can be made after January 20,” he said.

HE also called on citizens to continue to carry out preventive measures such as tracking people who do not quarantine according to Covid-19 guidelines.

He reminded Cambodians of the pandemic “DO’s” such as wear masks, wash hands; and maintain social and physical distancing of over 1.5m.

He also reiterated the coronavirus “DON’T’S”, advising people against visiting unventilated indoor places with air-conditioning and no fresh air, going to overcrowded places, touching each other, shaking hands, standing near each other or hugging each other.

tbh to me it just sounds like they can remain open, but advises you to avoid them but if you go to practice safe distancing and wear a mask etc
