From June 11-16, four business associations independently submitted letters to the government appealing for reprieve from some of the strictest restrictions provided by the Action Plan on Measures to Control Covid-19 at Factories and Enterprises in Phnom Penh, handled by the municipal administration.
These were the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC), Cambodian Federation of Employers and Business Associations (CAMFEBA), Cambodia Footwear Association (CFA) and Japanese Business Association of Cambodia (JBAC).
