Joint travel should be restricted to prevent Covid 19 infection
On Sunday evening, the head of the Cambodian government, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, issued a circular at the grassroots level on stricter health measures during the Pchum Ben festival.
According to Samdech Techo Hun Sen, local authorities have a role in setting up additional measures according to their respective geographies, based on the actual evolving situation of people’s gatherings. For provinces with tourist sites, it is necessary to implement minimum standards in those tourist areas.
However, allowing people to rest and travel from one location to another is restricted to health regulations. Samdech Techo Hun Sen highlighted that this permission is necessary for the Cambodian economy to continue progressing, particularly in the tourism sector.
