Cambodia 15 informed the first total of three cases of confirmed cases of the British variant of the virus, patients are foreigners, two cases from India, one case from China, are in isolation and quarantine during the detection of confirmed 2019 coronavirus disease. The news did not provide details.
According to a Central News Agency report today, Cambodia reported the first three cases of the British variant of the virus, from India and China. The report cited Reuters news agency as saying that Cambodia, with a population of 16 million, has reported fewer than 500 confirmed cases so far and no deaths from the disease, making it one of the top-ranked countries in the world. Although a rare cluster of infections was reported in November 2020, most of the confirmed cases were imported from outside the country.
According to the Cambodian Ministry of health, the first confirmed cases of the British variant of the virus were reported in three patients, two from India and one foreigner from China, who have been quarantined. The Cambodian Ministry of Health warned the public not to relax, “people seem to forget the great risk of transmission in mass gatherings” and fail to follow the hygiene rules for Epidemic prevention in ceremonies, banquets, weddings and festivals.
Cambodia began administering 600,000 doses of the vaccine, a gift from the People’s Republic of China, to Prime Minister Hun Sen’s sons and ministers from the 10th. Hun Sen had previously vowed to get the first dose of the vaccine himself, but later changed his story to say he was 68 years old and over the age for the Sinopharm vaccine. Hun Manet, Hun Sen’s son, gave a thumbs-up at Calmette Hospital in the capital Phnom Penh, saying, “I feel more confident that there is a defense system inside my body against the virus.”
The first 600,000 doses of the vaccine sent by China to Cambodia arrived in Phnom Penh on July by special plane, with most of the vaccine to be administered first to health workers and the military. Beijing previously said it would send 1 million doses of the Sinopharm vaccine to Cambodia, which could reach 500,000 people.
