PM orders temporary ban on all gatherings, especially weddings

[geovalin]

To decrease getting and spreading COVID-19, Prime Minister Hun Sen has asked the provincial and capital governors to temporarily ban gatherings in their respective territories after two men who attended wedding receptions in Kampot and Takeo provinces were tested positive for COVID-19.

“I have given the power to the provincial and municipal authorities to shut down or reopen areas to suspend or resume any gathering because the situation is different from one province to another,” he said. He added that many provinces and the capital have already taken proactive measures to suspend gatherings such as weddings.

However, the Premier in a voice clip yesterday said that some provinces have yet to take stern measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Elaborating on wedding receptions, he said, they should be suspended but ‘it is acceptable with a small ritual ceremony’.
