geovalin Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Prime Minister Hun Sen said yesterday that the declaring of a state of emergency may not be necessary as the COVID-19 situation in the Kingdom is under control. The emergency draft law is now being worked on by the National Assembly. Speaking to a group of reporters during a press conference at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh yesterday, Mr Hun Sen said a state of emergency would not be declared even if the draft is passed but the government still needs it if the situation gets out of control. “I think the possibility of declaring a state of emergency is 0.1 per cent over COVID-19,” he said. “Meaning the possibility is less, [but] despite this we still need a legal tool in our hand.” “If the situation worsens, we need to declare a State of Emergency because if our appeal [on steps to prevent the virus spread] is not respected, the last choice is to declare the State of Emergency to control the situation for a period of time,” Mr Hun Sen added. He said based on the draft law, the “State of Emergency” will be for a maximum period of three months each time and can be renewed for as long as necessary. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50710754/emergency-unlikely-coronavirus-situation-under-control-pm/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 At the moment, life is still very enjoyable here in Siem Reap with freedom of movement. Face masks - YES (but not mandatory), hand cleansing and temperature taken before entering banks, supermarkets and offices -YES! We can still have a beer and/or meal in many local (family) run restaurants or bars that remain open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
