geovalin Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 As Prime Minister Hun Sen dramatically suspended Pchum Ben ceremonies across the country to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Cambodia’s new COVID daily cases surged to their highest level since July the 25th. The move came after the PM expressed concern over the possible rise of COVID-19 infections after the Pchum Ben festival, following a number of COVID outbreaks in Phnom Penh pagodas. Today’s official daily new COVID case total was 822, bringing the COVID case total to 107,441 cases. The total number of Community Cases is now 89,008 with 18,433 cases being imported. Unfortunately, the ongoing policy to stop releasing any provincial figures has meant that it is now difficult to gauge the true spread of COVID in Cambodia. News that the ‘Delta’ variant of SARS-CoV-2 has infected a total of 6,503 people, compared with 5,751 detected – a jump of over 700 cases – as of September 19 will raise red flags in The Kingdom.
