Prime Minister Hun Sen s eldest son Hun Manet, who is also deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, said that in 80 hours his working group had prepared 1,800 beds at Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre, which has recently been turned into a Covid-19 treatment facility in Phnom Penh.
In a Facebook post on April 13, Manet said the government needed to prepare such facilities to the best of its ability amid a sudden, huge surge in transmission cases, especially in Phnom Penh, before beginning home treatment for patients with mild symptoms at a larger scale.

PHNOM PENH: The Phnom Penh municipality announced on Tuesday that it will extend the curfew in the capital for another two weeks, as the number of its Covid-19 cases is still growing and has not shown any sign of slowing down.
On April 1, the Phnom Penh municipal administration imposed a two-week-long curfew from 8pm to 5am, in a move to contribute to cutting off the transmission chain of Covid-19.
