Kingdom releases 35 containers imported from India
Thu, 13 May 2021
Cambodia will release 35 containers loaded with frozen meats and other frozen goods shipped from India that were stuck in Sihanoukville Autonomous Port customs control, after analysis results revealed no traces of the novel coronavirus.
The containers had reportedly been shipped to the Kingdom prior to an indefinite ban imposed on May 1 on the import of frozen meats and other frozen goods qualified as “high-risk” originating from India. The move was an apparent preventive measure to contain the spread of Covid-19 amid a devastating second coronavirus wave in the regional economic power.
