New contact-tracing scare amid recoveries
Wed, 16 December 2020
The Ministry of Health has urged people who visited the Hidden Coffee shop in Teuk Thla commune of Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district on December 4 to go to the National Institute of Public Health for Covid-19 testing and to self-quarantine for 14 days.
The ministry’s call came after an individual who tested positive for Covid-19 on December 4 had visited the coffee shop around 3:30pm prior to the test.
Separately, the ministry also said in a press release on December 16 that seven more people have recovered from Covid-19.
Five of the recovered patients were connected to the November 28 community incident – a reference to the first confirmed case of community transmission of Covid-19. Among them is the 12-year-old grandson of director-general of prisons Chhem Savuth.
