No respite in sight: City Hall extends PP curfew for another week till May 27

Phnom Penh City Hall has decided to extend the capital-wide curfew for the seventh week in a row until May 27 to curb the spread of Covid-19. It is also extending the ban on alcoholic drinks sales and large gatherings while emphasising the need to follow health measures put in place by the government and Health Ministry.

However, to ease the burden of long-suffering residents, the City Hall has decided to reopen large public markets from May 24 with strict health measures put in place. Small markets such as temporary ones, those in factories and markets surrounding hospitals will remain closed.

Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng said yesterday that it is necessary to keep the curfew until the number of new Covid-19 cases have been greatly reduced. He also warned that stricter measures will be taken against curfew violators.
