Whatzup - Breaking Cambodia Covid News on Outbreaks and Lockdowns
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 1:19 am
From CEO News: In the present situation, which is evolving very fast, a lot of expats are looking to find out what is happening on the Covid front from day to day and hour to hour. Because of this, and the fact that the main Cambodia Covid thread has become cumbersome and off topic, we are now going to attempt to run a thread with ONLY news on the ground for people living in Cambodia. So please help by not posting general Covid news or your opinions on lockdowns or vaccines on this thread. Please use the other Covid threads for this.
We realize that this is a discussion forum, but there is a need for a go-to thread for information on what's happening in the moment.
Feel free to post your real experiences, and then say so, or otherwise post some sort of source for your post.
Here are some of tonight's news items from the Khmer Times that might be important for CEO readers:

All state markets and unregulated markets in Phnom Penh are to be closed for 14 days
Phnom Penh Municipality has just announced tonight that it will close all “state-run and unregulated market” all over the capital for 14 days.
This late sudden directive was announced as yet another sudden move by the authorities to curb the coronavirus in Cambodia and the markets have a big source of community infections.
It also requires all the vendors and security guards in the markets which have operated since April 14 to come to the nearest testing sites to have their sample taken to be tested for the coronavirus. After that, they will have to quarantine themselves for another 14 days.
The authorities in all 14 districts in Phnom Penh shall be responsible for this task while the people who violate the orders shall face legal action.
Some of the big and popular markets have had had hundreds of vendors, security, officials and patrons tested positive for COVID-19 and have already been shut.
Tonight’s decision means all remaining markets have to be closed and by morning, the authorities are going to face a nightmarish situation of people having no markets open to get their fresh food and meat supplies due to the mandatory shutdown and testing, as ordered by the Phnom Penh authority.
