Curfew News and Updates

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It's all about ventilation. There is much less ventilation and much less room to socially distance in a small shop compared to a large supermarket. Air conditioning also helps to circulate the air I would assume. I listen to UK radio a lot in Cambodia and there are many government ads about coronavirus. One of the main topics is about ventilation and making sure your house is well ventilated all the time.
But to be fair, these were also the people who's initial public health advice last year was to wash your hands with soap and water many times a day while humming the national anthem. :D
And don't forget we were told masks didn't help so no need to wear one, this was only until they had enough stocks for front line staff,
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

The total lockdown should be extended for at least two or three months. This way we can make sure the virus is eliminated and have the additional advantage of testing the resolve of the local population in an experimental way.

I have a better idea, one word: FIRE you cant get the Kung Flu if you're dead burn it all and I guarantee 0% community transmission.

Now you are just taking the "nuke it from outer space, just to make sure" approach. Very childish.

The 28th will mark the end date of the big lock down event for Phnom Penh.

What do you guys think will happen?

Extension of lock down as is for another 2 weeks?

A cessation of lock down for non red zone areas?

I think it'll be extended until daily case numbers drop significantly. Well, that's what they should do, not sure what they will actually do tbh.

already extended for another 14 days in a couple of provinces
i expect they will announce an extension for pp over the weekend
and possibly continue until they can declare some kind of victory

in the meantime 'everyone that matters' will be vaccined
and will probably be allowed to travel
everyone else, well who cares

Another 14 days minimum. Until infections are in the single or very low double digits they will remain shut down.

The only chance of opening before that will be when every single person they are concerned about has had their second dose of vaccine and a further 3 weeks have elapsed so it can do it's job. At that point they might just say, "fuck it, get them all back to work".
