Any traveller entering Cambodia and found violating the mandatory 14-day quarantine will be punished in accordance with the law, the government said yesterday. The announcement comes following last week’s lifting of entry bans for travellers coming from Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Iran the United States with the condition of presenting a health certificate issued by the host country’s health countries, indicating that the traveller is cleared for COVID-19.

 

“All passengers who fail to follow the quarantine measure and the instructions by officers at international airports will be fined and punished in accordance with the law,” said Health Minister Mam Bun Heng in a statement issued yesterday, after an inter-ministerial meeting was held to discuss which measures must be laid out to prevent risks of coronavirus transmission from travellers entering the country. Authorities, he said, have already designated several schools as coronavirus quarantine facilities for travellers who cannot afford to pay for the mandatory isolation. Meanwhile, financially-able travellers may be sequestered at select hotels.

 

Kampong Chhnang provincial health department director Prak Vun yesterday expressed support for the issuance of a penalty for any errant travellers.

“I do not know how much the fine will be, but I know that without such measures, we cannot ensure that all incoming travellers will follow the rules,” he said, adding local authorities have been tasked with monitoring passengers who have been and will be placed under a 14-day quarantine.

Cambodia has already been more or less taken over by China. It is a past tense sort of place. We do not much care about Cambodia anymore. It is a "has been" ruled by a serial killing, thieving despot.
