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.

Samdech Techo HE added that Cambodian nationals, both inside the country and from abroad, are authorised for home treatment, while the formalities and procedures are the same as in the case of Delta and Alpha.

For patients being hospitalised, regardless of their nationality, they can be transferred home for care and treatment if they wish to do so, he continued.

This new order comes into force from now on, Samdech Techo Prime Minister underlined.

Cambodia has so far registered 120,956 confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 503 are of Omicron variant (152 Omicron community cases).
