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.

So Chinese vaccines are effective than or? In the west they claim different and from China there is no data....
In Phnom Penh, in the last 2,5 weeks COVID-19 infection has decreased, with only 28 of 1,898 people testing positive positive for COVID-19 – a total of 3.56%.


What? 28 infections in the the last 2.5 weeks? Bollocks.

What about this, reported in the same newspaper and detailed above, showing the last week's increase in Delta cases in Phnom Penh?

These are Delta cases only, not overall cases, which will be higher unless we are now at 100% Delta

Last week Phnom Penh had 70

This week Phnom Penh has 532 (+680%)

Cambodia’s Delta Variant infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has surged in recent days with the total reaching 3,323 cases nationwide, leaving only Kratie province free of this scrouge currently.
(I think he means scourge)

On September 5, the number of cases inflicted with the Delta Variant was at 2,647 bit in three days, as of September 8, the number has jumped by 676 cases with the capital city of Phnom Penh having the highest infections, followed by migrant workers in quarantine at seven provinces facing the Thai border.


As usual they lump all the numbers together, yet teasingly refer to PP having the highest proportion of the additional 647 new cases in a 3 day period, but are to coy to reveal the actual numbers. However, 676 divided by 3 days is 225 a day which is getting on for 50% of the daily totals.
