Phnom Penh Municipality to extend curfew for another two weeks

Phnom Penh Municipality has announced today that it will extend the curfew in the capital for another two weeks, as the number of its COVID-19 cases are still growing and have not shown any sign of slowing down. On April 1, Phnom Penh municipal administration imposed a two-week-long curfew from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am, in a move to contribute to cutting off the transmission chain of COVID-19.

According the statement signed by Phnom Penh Governor Khoung Sreng and obtained by Khmer Times today, the curfew will continue from April 15 to 28 April.

During the curfew, travelling within the Phnom Penh geographical area is banned during curfew for two weeks, except for emergency health and family reasons, medical staff, fire fighters, armed personnel, factory workers, and so on. It also covers eateries, coffee shops, restaurants, except takeaways, as well as gatherings, except among family members in the same house, funerals, and gatherings of health staff and competent authorities on duty.
