Whatzup - Breaking Cambodia Covid News on Outbreaks and Lockdowns

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.

Did anyone really expect it to improve after they abruptly ended the lockdown allowing PPers to spread the virus to all provinces.
Perhaps they are getting tips on Corona control from the Victorian Premier.

AKP Phnom Penh, May 31, 2021 --

A total of 2,567,493 people in Cambodia have got their first doses of vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic, or 25.67 percent of the planned 10 million people to be vaccinated, as of May 30, according to the figures shared by the National Ad-hoc Commission for COVID-19 Vaccination.

Of them, 1,961,346 have already obtained their second jab, underlined the same source.

Members of the diplomatic corps, staff of UN agencies and international organisations and their family members were among the vaccinated people.

Cambodia has set to vaccinate around 10 million people or 62 percent of the total population against COVID-19 and up to the half of 2022, more than 95 percent are expected to be inoculated.

The Kingdom has received over 6 million doses of vaccines: 1.7 million doses of China-donated Sinopharm, 4 million doses of Sinovac bought from China, and 324,000 doses of AstraZeneca/SII (COVISHIELD) via COVAX Facility. More doses are expected to arrive in Cambodia next month.

Huge if true.

Phnom Penh Vaccinations to Be Finished This Month: Health Ministry
Ouch Sony | Wed Jun 2, 2021 8:35 pm

Phnom Penh’s vaccination campaign will be finished this month as progress has been faster than planned, the Health Ministry said, with districts reporting vaccination rates that project to more than half of their populations having received first doses on average.

The military is carrying out public vaccinations in six districts — Dangkao, Kambol, Meanchey, Pur Senchey, Russei Keo, Toul Kork — where first-dose vaccination rates range from 39 to 143 percent based on the official 2019 census and Defense Ministry figures for June 1.

Pur Senchey district deputy governor Ith Chumnith, however, gave different numbers for both vaccinations and the population.

He said on Wednesday that more than 210,000 people in Pur Senchey had received first doses — less than the Defense Ministry’s 313,381 figure. The district had 280,405 people, he said, higher than the census’s 226,971.

He ended the interview before he could be asked about the discrepancy.

“We are continuing to vaccinate and we will finish the remaining numbers,” Chumnith said. He asked that people continue to take health precautions to prevent the transmission of Covid-19.

“It is effective after we get two doses, but [we] need to protect. It does not mean that after having vaccinated two doses, [we] will not get infected.”

Five other districts have begun vaccination campaigns administered by local authorities, and the three remaining districts are expected to start within weeks.
