PM warns nation to stay cautious amid Covid
Tue, 15 December 2020
Prime Minister Hun Sen said on December 15 that although Cambodia had apparently managed to contain the community transmission of Covid-19 from November 28, it cannot yet definitively declare an end to the incident primarily because more time is needed to do a thorough contact tracing.
Hun Sen made the statement from his residence in Kandal province’s Takhmao town on December 15 as part of his address to the nation about the Covid-19 situation and the first-phase purchase of one million doses of Covid-19 vaccine.
He said there were five main reasons that prevented him from announcing with complete certainty an end to the November 28 community incident – a reference to the first confirmed case of local transmission.
