Amid fears of large-scale transmission of the new Covid-19 variant Omicron, border province authorities are looking at the possibility of implementing strict measures for crossing migrant workers, including implementing mandatory quarantines and PCR testing. These measures are the result of what was learnt dealing with the Delta variant, which appeared to enter the Kingdom via migrant workers.

 

Cambodia’s neighbour Thailand reported that it has detected 514 cases of Omicron – with at least 147 designated as ‘local’ cases. Most worrying are 2 separate outbreaks from the district of Kap Choeng in Thailand’s Surin province, which directly borders Cambodia and is the site of the O’ Smach International checkpoint in Oddar Meanchey province.

 

Thai authorities say that 3 Omicron cases have been found in the district and that at least 49 people are at high risk of infection, which will heighten fears of Omicron entering Cambodia via land border crossings.
