PM Orders Authorities to Jointly Prevent COVID19 at Borders

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered all relevant authorities and the armed forces to take serious actions in combating the spread of COVID19 from Vietnam into Cambodia, according to a voice message obtained by Fresh News on Thursday.

“All people, both Cambodian and the Vietnamese, crossing Cambodia-Vietnam borders must undergo a 14-day quarantine,” said the premier.

He continued that, “The success in combating the spread of virus at the border depends entirely on the provincial authorities headed by governors. [Every province] must thoroughly monitor border crossing and strictly enforce quarantines.”

He also advised the Ministry of Health to provide sufficient supplies needed for quarantines at the provinces bordering Vietnam, from Kep/Kampot in the South to Ratanakiri in the North.

For the upcoming Chinese-Vietnamese New Year next week, Premier Hun Sen ordered the authorities to immediately deploy forces to prevent people from entering and leaving the borders uninformed. Fresh News
