Phnom Penh municipal governor Khuong Sreng (centre). - Phnom Penh Post/ANN PHNOM PENH, Aprin 24 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): The Phnom Penh municipality late on April 23 issued a directive dictating that all residents living in the capital's Red Zones have their samples taken for Covid-19 testing. The municipal hall also ordered all state-owned markets and other improvised ones - such as those that sprawl near factories, hospitals and residential areas - throughout the capital shut for 14 days effective immediately through May 7. The directive comes as Phnom Penh remains the country's main Covid-19 hotspots, with 522 infections reported on April 23 alone. According to the directive, any residents in the red zones who fail to have their specimen for Covid-19 will face legal action.
