Mindboggling. Have to suppose this person had no insurance or money for a real hospital, also with little knowledge of Cambodia and how things work here. I have a hard time seeing myself ending up in a place like that but yea, shit happens.

He has insurance and the Insurance company have been trying to get him moved, but the MoH are not permitting it. He tested negative yesterday, needs to retest 2 days later and if that's negative he'll be released.

Insurance isn't going to pay for a hospital stay for an asymptomatic person. They will tell you to sit it out and report back when you've fallen really ill.

Never heard of insurance scam? Let them give you a private room and a case of beer call it a day!

Where do the Okhnas go though? On a wooden bed in a concentration camp? Hard to believe there is no options.

No plans of finding out however

Where do the Okhnas go, I would not have thought like yourself that question would be answered. I would think also with the end of self-isolation at home, even with the best insurance policies to you and myself, the Okhnas would be even so better placed.

Also doesn't bode well for opening up to visas on arrival..

...only if we have enough people coming in with it. If they choke off travel it could take many months to get passed this. Let's just hope that these quarantine places and their transport systems are weak enough to let this thing get out there and make all their efforts futile.

I can't understand why HE was willing to play fast and loose with Delta but is now running scared of Omicron.

I maybe wrong on that in which case you're right. Anyway, I daresay locals are probably reluctant to test unless it was part of some employment condition or govt requirement.

They are for everyone, not just inbound/outbound travellers. However, most people resident in Cambodia are permitted to self-quarantine at home, unless the MoH deems their residence unsuitable, or they test positive for Omicron.
