All Pagodas Advised to Ring The Gong to Remind People of COVID-19
All pagodas across Cambodia are requested to ring the gong and beat the drum at the same time, five times a day, to remind people of COVID-19 pandemic.
According to a directive signed yesterday by Minister of Cults and Religious Affairs Mr. Chhit Sokhon, the move is aimed to alert people to increase their vigilance against COVID-19 by carrying out the “3 Dos and 3 Don’ts” measure and other health safety guidelines.
The gong ringing will take place at 05:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00, and 20:00 every day until the end of the Feb. 20 Community Event.
The threat of COVID-19 is recurring in Cambodia following the outbreak of community transmission called Feb. 20 Community Event.
