Cambodia's Quarantine and Lockdown Escapees (Regular Updates)

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.

To be fair, the living conditions in the poorer areas are far more conducive for spreading disease. The ability to maintain a proper distance is greatly compromised when you cannot afford the space. They should have listened to the great philosopher Paris Hilton and stopped being poor.

Looking ahead I think that it may become necessary to examine whether these ultra high density living arrangements and the disease vectors that they contain should be allowed to continue. Some of the red zones contain workers for factories where these living conditions cannot be avoided but others are rather needless and are really dangerous disease incubators located near high value neighborhoods. It may be time to start considering some sort of relocation program so that these areas can be redeveloped into safe high rise condos.

Ultimately those that are being critical right now (like Reuters) are ignoring the reality that it is extremely difficult to prevent the spread of disease in these ultra high density neighborhoods. It must be said (literally) that it was obviously the right choice to put them under lockdown and those that disagree are clearly in the wrong.

i agree, those 'messy' markets are also a horror
the sooner they're redeveloped into gleaming malls with high end supermarkets and high fashion, the better

Caffeine hit, or the coffee shop has WIFI.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
