The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications said 12 days since the “Stop Covid-19” QR code was introduced, 99,224 locations have registered and people have scanned the code nearly five million times.
The ministry announced on March 8 that through the use of the system, scanners could receive information about a location that might have been exposed to Covid-19. People who had visited the location could quickly be identified.
“Data from the system also shows who should be in self-quarantine, and if they have left home [despite quarantine]. This reveals that they have violated quarantine,” it said.
Stock-listed utility Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PWSA) reported strong growth and solid overall business performance last year despite economic disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Full-year net-profit came in at 88,351,845,000 riel, gaining 55,059,932,000 riel or 165.39 per cent year-on-year, the state-owned enterprise said without specifying which particular profit measure (gross, operating, net) it was referring to.
In the fourth quarter, PWSA netted 86,884,128,000 riel in revenue, climbing 46,434,466,000 or 114.80 per cent compared to the third quarter, and raked in 18,785,810,000 riel in profit, soaring 24,818,244,000 riel or 411.41 per cent quarter-on-quarter.
