Cambodia is on another positive spell with a run of six days without any new infections and just one active case. It is working very hard to keep the virus at bay, emphasizing and reemphasising on self-hygiene and social distancing but the fear factor and rumors are taking its toll. Novice monks with influenza A were initially stated to be COVID-19 positive on social media even before tests were conducted and this is never a good sign, as it happened close to the just concluded Pchum Ben Holidays.
