No More Mandatory Quarantine for Vaccinated Travellers to Cambodia

Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has announced to remove the quarantine requirement for all fully vaccinated passengers, both Cambodians and foreigners, entering Cambodia.

To facilitate the country’s reopening, all Cambodians returning from abroad, foreign tourists and investors are not required to be quarantined for three to seven days anymore, said the Premier in a special voice message on Nov. 14.

The decision was made after the vaccination coverage against COVID-19 in Cambodia has reached nearly 88 percent of the total population of 16 million.

But, he continued, they need to get rapid tests at land, maritime and air border gates. If they are found negative for the pandemic, they are free to go anywhere they want across Cambodia, he added.

However, those who have not been inoculated have to be in quarantine for 14 days as before in addition to PCR tests, he underlined.

The new directive comes into force from Nov. 15 onward, Prime Minister said, stressing that those being quarantined at hotels or other areas with negative PCR test results, are allowed to end their quarantine tomorrow.
