Kampong Cham city, Kampong Cham province – The Viking Cruise Journey is still docked with scores of passengers and crew members remaining on board as sub-national officials scour the province to identify anyone who may have come into contact with a British national identified as the Kingdom’s third imported COVID-19 case.

 

“Please search a few sites where guests had visited,” Provincial Governor Un Chenda said, referring to all passengers who had travelled with the patient. On Tuesday Health Minister Mam Bun Heng announced the 65-year-old British woman was under quarantine at the Kampong Cham Provincial Referral Hospital after the virus was detected in the patient.
