The Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) announced on May 8 that they will not require workers and students from 870 locations in the red zones of Phnom Penh and adjacent Takmao town in Kandal province to pay their bills for March, April and May.
PPWSA said the billing exemption was at the behest of Prime Minster Hun Sen who on May 8 appealed to PPWSA and Electricite du Cambodge (EdC) to show sympathy for cash-strapped workers and students in the red zones by not charging them for utilities.
In Battambang province, deputy governor Soeurm Bunrith said that less than 90 workers are returning each day.
“During the same period last year, over 1,000 workers returned [a day]. But this year, the number is less. It is very different from previous years,” he said on April 8, noting that many workers might have returned due to the Covid-19 outbreak in Thailand early this year.
“Workers don’t return for the celebration because they know authorities will quarantine them for 14 days,” he said, adding that 1,596 Cambodian migrant workers are currently in quarantine in Battambang.
In Banteay Meanchey province, deputy provincial governor Ros Sophany said the number of returning workers before the New Year holiday was also much lower compared to previous years.
