[geovalin]

Cambodia has become a state of COVID-zero after the last patient recovered, according to a health ministry’s statement on Tuesday. The country reported no new cases of COVID-19 for 31 days straight, the statement said, adding that since the pandemic began in January 2020, the southeast Asian nation has logged a total of 136,262 confirmed cases with 133,206 recoveries and 3,056 deaths.

 

Health ministry’s secretary of state and spokeswoman Or Vandine attributed the country’s success in controlling the pandemic to the government’s right leadership and the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

 

“Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has made the right and timely decision to provide free COVID-19 vaccines to all eligible Cambodians and foreigners living in the country,” she told reporters via a telegram group. “Vaccines are the most powerful tool to protect lives against COVID-19, reducing infections and deaths,” Vandine said.
