February 20, 2021, Covid Community Outbreak (Koh Pich and Beyond)

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.

For several weeks, Khmer Times has been highlighting the number of escapes from quarantine centres in the three provinces border Thailand as well as the lax security in Phnom Penh’s quarantine centres where corruption and lax security has seen quarantined people sun bathing at the hotel’s swimming pool, paying guards to leave the quarantine centres and return at a late time or even at a later date, which is the due date for the 13th day test.

Most of these reports went without any response from the authorities concerned or were denied.

Khmer Times are pretty confident this morning....
I seem to remember Freightdog telling us the Khmer Times denied his claims that people were flouting quarantine rules in Phnom Penh hotels. I think they claimed these stories were made up.

it's clearly false, unless one of them had uk variant, or the reported numbers are incorrect
