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.

“An additional 20 million doses of COVID19 vaccine will continue to arrive as our friends promised to donate to the kingdom. Currently, we have more than 11 million doses in stock,” the premier underlined.
Do they really need more?
Maybe their "friends" have run out of storage space for the 500 million doses every European country ordered in panic, and decided to dump them on the most vaccinated country in the region.

Hilarious. Don't ask, don't tell.

I have actually noticed a sharp decline in people quietly admitting having had it recently, about 2/3 months ago lots of people were fessing up to being recently infected.

Maybe it's run out of steam.

It may be true, or are they not testing?

All 10 of Thailand’s imported cases of COVID-19 reported Friday came from Cambodia

A bit of both, there are definitely less now than a few months ago (from anecdotal evidence of PP). but for sure there are peolle not declaring. Theres also less pressure on peolme to test now, most companies I know of have stopped the rapid tests for staff. Less masks and checks everywhere. It feels pretty much back to normal

It's almost as if when governments stop testing, the virus disappears.....
