At least 54 of 245 Cambodian migrant workers who returned to Cambodia from Thailand through the Boeung Trakoun border crossing between July 29 and August 4 tested positive for Covid-19, including the highly transmissible Delta variant.

 

Boeung Trakoun border police chief Van Daran told The Post on August 5 that those who were found positive were sent to the treatment centre at Sisophon High School in Banteay Meanchey province.

 

He said that following the government’s decision to lock down the eight provinces bordering Thailand, the border crossings between Cambodia and Thailand were also closed due to fear of the Delta variant spreading further. Over the past week during the border closure period, 245 migrant workers attempted to return to Cambodia and got stuck at the border due to the restrictions.
