No need for vaccinations: Koh Rong Island now accepts tourists who follow guidelines

Koh Rong City Administration said that tourists can continue to visit the island without receiving two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine but only if they adhere to the Health Ministry’s measures which include wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing and washing hands or spraying sanitiser regularly.

Koh Rong city governor Nuon Bunthol told Khmer Times yesterday that after the nationwide vaccination campaign, the increase of both national and international visitors to Koh Rong is remarkable. Bunthol said that visiting Koh Rong and other islands throughout the city’s boundaries did not currently require tourists to have been inoculated with two doses of a vaccine.

However, he added that in the future, the Koh Rong authorities will hold a meeting with tourist boat associations to discuss whether to require visitors be vaccinated with both doses or not. “In the past, in principle, Tycoon Tea Vichet only allowed tourists or passengers who were vaccinated with two doses before transporting them to the island but as for other companies, I have not seen any decision among them whether or not tourists are required to have a vaccination card proving two doses of the vaccine,” Bunthol said.
