Workers from scores of factories in the vicinity of Cambodia’s capital have been infected with COVID-19 amid the country’s latest coronavirus outbreak, authorities said Tuesday, as residents chafed against a lockdown that has left them without food for days, forcing several to risk arrest to obtain supplies.
Last week, the government implemented a 14-day closure of all non-essential businesses in the capital Phnom Penh and neighboring Takhmao in Kandal province from April 15-28 and requiring the two cities’ combined 2.3 million residents to adhere to a strict curfew or, in certain “red zones,” stay in their homes except in the case of an emergency.
