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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

First batch arrives from Japan, and more to come...

332,000 of Japan-donated 1 Million Doses of AstraZeneca Arrive in Phnom Penh
AKP Phnom Penh, July 23, 2021 --

The first batch of 332,000 doses of Japan-donated AstraZeneca vaccine arrived at Phnom Penh International Airport tonight.

The handover-receiving ceremony took place at the airport under the presidency of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia and Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia H.E. Mikami Masahiro.

Japan has recently announced to donate some 1 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine, which Japan is licensed to produce, to support the Royal Government of Cambodia's efforts to defeat COVID-19 as well as help to relieve some of the anxieties of the Cambodian people.

To date, the Japanese Government has provided a total of more than US$50 million worth assistance to Cambodia. This includes the donation of medical equipment, the renovation of hospitals, support for infection prevention measures at the borders through international organisations, and equipment to properly carry and store vaccines. It has also provided a loan of approximately US$227 million, which is being used to provide cash benefit to people affected by COVID-19 and to strengthen the medical care provision system.

With the newly arrived vaccines, Cambodia has received in total nearly 18 million doses of vaccines through purchase and donations: 6.2 million doses of Sinopharm, 10.5 million doses of Sinovac, and 656,000 doses of AstraZeneca.

The Kingdom has set to vaccinate around 10 million people or 62 percent of the total population against COVID-19 and the target is expected to achieve by November this year.

As of yesterday, 6,454,601 adult people have got their first jab, or 64.55 percent of the planned 10 million people for the vaccination, among them 4,304,932 have been fully vaccinated.
