If you follow the MoH on FB, they post the numbers daily. 39 (total) is correct.

Re: February 20, 2021, Covid Community Outbreak (Koh Pich and Beyond)
Happy to report (for all those folks doubtlessly holding their breath) that I tested negative. So, someone else will have to supply the hospital updates Here's some more info on the experience:Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 1:11 am BUT, if you do test positive, (which I do not wish on you), of course we'd love to hear what goes on inside the Covid hospitals.
When you get your test they tell you to come back for results at 5pm the next day. As opposed to the tests, which were not on time, I showed up 15 minutes early and people were already filing through with their results.
Collection was incredibly easy and frankly given how critical we can be of processes here, a lot of praise is due for how easy it was. You show your receipt from your test. About 2 or 3 of the "interview" stations are manned, and I think depending on nationality (if I had to guess, Khmer/Chinese/Other... but not sure), you get told to go to one of those stations, where the results are sorted. They stamp your receipt, check your paperwork, and hand you a two page packet (first page travel certificate, second page test results) along with a brown envelope for safe keeping. All in all it took no more than 2 minutes, and it moved quickly enough that I had a wait of maybe 1 minute. I would also say that the documentation issued here is better and more comprehensive than I received in my country of origin before my last trip into Cambodia.
So, if they could simply start the test day on time, they'd actually have a really good process all the way through (and it's certainly better than the testing process at the quarantine hotels). Additionally, to manage the issues of social distancing for our friends from places where queueing is a challenge, they have introduced a new queue with distancing marks on the ground. So even at the worst of times, it should be more organised now than it was in the photo that was published.
As to why I took the test, yes, I took the test for travel purposes as I decided to leave after the current outbreak due to the timing of personal circumstances and the lockdown risks where I live here. A woman with a Khmer passport got her family tested yesterday at the same time as me, and had to pay the full amount, so I'm assuming anyone requiring a travel certificate has to pay regardless of nationality. Since I wasn't a member of the forum last time I'll be happy to share the quarantine process with interested parties on my (hopefully vaccinated) return
Finally, regarding the chap querying why the wedding controversy is tied to the Feb 20 moment despite having taken place on the 17th, it's worth pointing out that the 20th is when the infections were discovered, not when they occurred. If the wedding attendee had exposure to infected people in the days leading up to the 20th, it's very much a contact tracing event.

Kingdom's Covid-19 cluster cases hit 302
Post Staff | Publication date 28 February 2021 | 09:01 ICT
The Ministry of Health on February 28 confirmed 39 more cases of Covid-19, with four imported and the rest linked to the February 20 community transmission.
The four imported cases are all Cambodian UN peacekeepers who arrived from Africa via India on February 21. They are receiving treatment at their training centre in Kampong Speu province.
The 35 cluster cases include six Vietnamese nationals and five Cambodians, with the rest being Chinese, bringing Cambodia's third community transmission cases to 302.
Of the 35, eight are Chinese nationals staying in Preah Sihanouk province and are being treated there, while the rest are receiving treatment in Phnom Penh.
In a press release, the ministry also noted that it had located the last two Covid-19-positive persons whom it had been searching for and has now admitted them to a quarantine centre in the capital for treatment.
The latest cases bring the Kingdom's Covid-19 tally to 805, with 477 having recovered and been discharged from hospitals.

Re: February 20, 2021, Covid Community Outbreak (Koh Pich and Beyond)
Anyone else find the "Total" cases being mentioned all the time in the media a bit confusing/not essential. I want to know how many current cases there are. I don't really care about the 200 or whatever who got it an recovered and ate back home. I feel the wording always makes I sound like there are xxx current cases when in fact the total tally is irrelevant, we only need to know the current situation.(from arrivals/Feb 20th "event"). I mean, it's still pretty telling that literally everyone here has recovered from it... Not criticizing CEO, more like KT and the way they report it.
