Speaking on Saturday, the Secretary of State said:
‘We are very concerned that Cambodia may cross the red line if some individuals still do not pay attention to the implementation of precautionary measures. We need to act together urgently and responsibly to change the situation now, because now the situation of large-scale virus outbreaks in the community is in front of all of us, and in our case “I do not care.”
If we dare to cross the red line, we will face more serious problems than now. The large-scale nature of the community, without knowing the source of the transmission, will also increase the number of deaths, in terms of hardships, will be innumerable and will continue for a long time to come.’
Yesterday’s figures had Cambodia at a total of 60,959 COVID cases with deaths, new cases and imported cases increasing on a daily basis.
