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.

Is it a coincidence there were 538 cases two days in a row? And still 114 total deaths (i.e. new ones)? Did the MoH accidentally post the same graphic yesterday as the day before?
Judging by the new graphic, the ministry are bored of counting the figures each day, so who knows

So, net figure is +220 cases. Sounds much better than 520.

More vaccines are on the way...

Cambodia to Receive More 500,000 Doses of COVID-19 Vaccines Tomorrow
AKP Phnom Penh, May 10, 2021 --

Cambodia is going to receive half a million more doses of COVID-19 vaccines from China tomorrow morning.

On May 5, Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE announced that 1 million more doses of vaccines will arrive in Cambodia soon, of which 500,000 on May 11, and another 500,000 on May 15.

The new doses will be administered in the Red zones until all people in those high-risk areas get vaccinated, according to the Premier.

Cambodia has so far received over 4 million doses of vaccines: 1.7 million doses of China-donated Sinopharm, 2 million doses of Sinovac bought from China, and 324,000 doses of AstraZeneca/SII (COVISHIELD) via COVAX Facility.

As of May 9, more than 1.77 million people, both military and civil, have already been vaccinated. Of them, nearly 400,000 people are in the Red zones.

Thanks [mention]Doc67 [/mention] for the charts.
Unfortunately international airport hubs are in these countries and that’s a travel bottle neck out of our control.

One has to be concerned about the Sinopharm vaccine though, if so many people get infected even after receiving two shots of it...
