This is what they say; but sometimes the situation on the ground is different. Can anyone in Phnom Penh confirm that all restaurants are now closed for dining-in ? What is actually open ? Are there any travel restrictions within the city ?

Shut down again: Covid-19 surge prompts second closure of businesses

The fallout from the February 20 Community Event continues to rain misery in the capital as infections keep growing, forcing authorities to impose some restrictions again.

Just two weeks after being allowed to reopen after a lengthy lockdown, businesses such as restaurants now have to bite the bullet again for two weeks from yesterday until June 16.

In a directive issued later on Wednesday night, Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng said business which pose a high risk of Covid-19 transmission will have to be suspended in order to bring the situation under control.

On May 21, all markets, restaurants, cafeterias, food stalls, beverage outlets and food and beverage businesses of all kinds were allowed to operate as normal with health measures put in place.

Restaurants which had been limited to providing only delivery or takeaway services were allowed to welcome back dine-in customers.

However, the surge of between 600 and 700 Covid-19 cases in the capital daily has now forced Phnom Penh City Hall to re-impose curbs.

“We are still in a worrying situation, so we are suspending some business activities that are not absolutely necessary. Only essential businesses that provide key services to the people will be allowed to operate,” Sreng told Khmer Times yesterday.

He added that authorities in all 14 district should conduct checks to see if businesses which are not allowed to operate are complying with the restrictions.

Sreng said if it is found that citizens or business owners are violating the measures, the local authorities must apply administrative sanctions and the law.

This includes publicly naming the violators in accordance with the law on measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and the relevant legal norms without exception.

Romano's pizza on st19 in Daun Penh posted on FB this morning 'take away and online order only now'

Harry's enforcing the 'no more than 15 customers' rule for Crazy Friday $5 specials tonight. Got the last table outside..

Isn't just about everyone vaccinated in pp?
Cases should go down.
I have been since a long time now even if i wasn't a fan of the Chinese vaccine, about every Chinese guy and Khmer guy i know got it also.
Last time i asked for a friend they had more stock than people showing up for shots the last week.
Is the Chinese vaccine not working?
Or are they testing people with the quick test that can't distinguish between vaccinated and infected as it only detects the covid-19 antibodies?
(Because IMHO this is what are they doing )
