Commerce ministry rolls out mobile markets to Red Zones
Tue, 20 April 2021
The Ministry of Commerce on April 20 dispatched five trucks to seven “Red Zones” to sell food products and groceries at below-market prices during the ongoing two-week coronavirus lockdown in Phnom Penh and adjacent Takmao town in Kandal province, according to undersecretary of state Pen Sovicheat.
This comes a day after Phnom Penh municipal governor Khuong Sreng designated a number of villages and communes in three of the capital’s districts as "Red Zones" – where residents are forbidden from leaving their homes – just hours after Prime Minister Hun Sen revised lockdown measures for areas at highest risk of Covid-19 transmission.
