Normal life in the Kingdom can resume in a new way, according to the Health Ministry, if everyone continues to implement its anti-Covid-19 policies.

If people continue to assist in stopping the transmission of Covid-19, Ministry spokesman Or Vandine said Cambodia expects to return to a new normal life in the near future and reopen schools for children under restricted settings.

 

She stated that following the ministry's measures is the duty of each citizen and individual.

 

According to Vandine, the government and the people worked together to respond to Covid-19. Despite the discovery of Delta variant, sub-national authorities have fought tirelessly to keep the situation from spiraling out of control.
