[geovalin]

Health Minister Mam Bun Heng said yesterday that from now on Cambodia will be enforcing a strict mandatory 14-day quarantine for all passengers flying into the Kingdom. He made the announcement early yesterday morning while monitoring virus prevention measures at the Phnom Penh International Airport as two flights from South Korea landed.

 

He said that the flight contained a variety of nationalities, including Cambodian, Korean, Iraqi, French, and Americans, adding that the 106 passengers who arrived on the flights will now be put into mandatory quarantine to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Cambodia. The mandatory measures come after Cambodia identified two new cases of COVID-19, with both passengers who tested positive departing from the United States but one via the Philippines and one via South Korea, bringing the total number of cases in the Kingdom to 124.

 

Mr Bun Heng visited the airport to personally check on the arrivial of the rwo flights from South Korea carrying the passengers. “We have come today to check the health certificates and insurance policies of passengers which should have been issued from their individual countries or organised by themselves before travelling to Cambodia,” Mr. Bun Heng told reporters at the Phnom Penh Airport.

Now that's something to look forward to. 14-days locked up in a Cambodian government quarantine facility eating Cambodian street food (while chewing charcoal tablets and antibiotics to ward of the gastro) and making all sorts of promises to deities if they prevent you from ending up in a Cambodian hospital ????
