Prime Minister Hun Sen approved the provision of more supplies and food assistance to the seven provinces bordering Thailand to meet the daily consumption needs of returning migrant workers.
Meanwhile, authorities in the border provinces are continuing to bring workers in good health to quarantine in their respective hometown rather than at centres established along the border due to crowding concerns.
The inventory of items to be provided includes mosquito nets, blankets, pillows, bedding, sarongs and scarves, 56,100 personal hygiene kits, 68,000 cases of drinking water and 29,200 cases of instant noodles.
