With the dramatic upsurge in number of new Covid-19 cases reported in connection to the February 20 community transmission, the government on April 14 announced a full lockdown in the capital and neighbouring Takmao town in Kandal province from April 15-28 to control the risk of spreading the novel coronavirus.
To drive digital payment adoption, local business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce platform Smile Shop on April 20 announced that new users would receive $10 for their first cashless purchase during lockdown.
