In the face of mounting incidents, Siem Reap is designating more sites as "red zones."

[ASEAN NOW]

 

As the number of cases in Siem Reap continues to rise, additional places are designated as "red zones."

Due of apathy regarding safety measures against Covid-19, the Governor of Siem Reap Province has declared the entire city of Siem Reap a "red zone." The population's apathy and negligence has allowed the pandemic to spread unchecked.

 

More locations in the province have been designated as "red zones" as the pandemic spreads and the community outbreak grows.

 

For one week, the villages of Kampong and Sramor in Chi Kreng Commune, Chi Kreng District, were designated as "red zones." The communities will be closed from September 19 to September 25, 2018.

 

During the length of the designation, measures such as travel restrictions and movement limitations will be in effect.
