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.

What are the odds of one out of three deaths today coming from my village with about 600 people living in it? Seems pretty unlikely right?

Not doubting Cambodia is doing a great job, but I feel like they're pushing a little too hard towards 'victory'.
The policy of no more mass testing/contact testing and only taking a covid test if you are actually sick is a sensible step that has allowed the country to reopen and illustrates the benefits of not focusing on "cases per day" "deaths per cases" and other such nonsense now that most populations are vaccinated to quite high numbers

Well done the Cambodian govt
The woman in my village never was tested with a PCR test, she self tested. She never received treatment or oxygen, but died because of lungcovid.
She's nowhere to be found in the statistics.

Well done Cambodian government?
Why no treatment?

If ill, covid health centres are available; surely she or her family should have sought treatment when she was both ill and self test positive?
You're given a bag of pills in case of a positive self test. I'm talking a bout a small village 580 km from Phnom Penh. Covid center was set up in the local school. School is up and running now. So no covid center. Good luck finding a private clinic willing to accept you.
People there die of covid and don't appear in the statistics anymore. So the statistics are not correct now. That's the only point I make.
Yes, let’s not focus on those hospitalizations and deaths. Pesky stats get in the way.

(no opinion from me stated, since it is so obvious as to what is occurring).
source please...
I read it in an online Thai newspaper back in November. I have googled since you asked for source and have not rediscovered it yet. However, I share a recent link that speak of the positive covid tests from persons crossing from Cambodia into Thailand.

PHNOM PENH (Reuters): Cambodia has detected the country's first case of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus in a local woman who had travelled from Ghana, the ministry of health said.

The 23-year old woman had returned from Ghana via Dubai and Bangkok, the ministry said in a statement issued on Tuesday (Dec 14).

The woman, who was 15 weeks pregnant, had been admitted to hospital for treatment, it said.

The Omicron variant first detected in South Africa and Hong Kong last month has now been reported by over 70 countries and is probably present in most worldwide, but should not be dismissed as "mild", the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.

The nation reopened its borders last month to vaccinated tourists after achieving one of Asia's highest Covid-19 vaccination rates, with more than 88% of its 16 million people now inoculated.
