Anyone entering Kampong Chhnang province required to undergo quarantine

 Kampong Chhnang provincial governor Chhour Chandoeun has issued a guideline for COVID-19 prevention measures, saying that anyone who enters the province will be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine and get tested for COVID-19.

In the statement issued today, Chandoeun said commune authorities and the commune police stations have to monitor people regarding the number of their family members, and members who have left home for work very far, places they have gone to especially the areas with the highest risk of COVID-19 infection.

The statement said the guideline is implemented to promote hygiene, safety, and to strengthen security during the Khmer New Year celebrations.

The provincial administration also encourages everyone to communicate with one another online rather than to meet face to face. Anyone who refuses to undergo quarantine and to have COVID-19 testing will be punished according to the law.

It said that those who wish to attend religious ceremonies are encouraged to opt for a nearby pagoda, with a small gathering, practicing social distancing, having their temperature checked, wearing face masks, and washing hands with sanitiser.
