Another man was diagnosed after entering Cambodia from Thailand on February 18 and is currently receiving treatment at the Banteay Meanchey Provincial Government Hospital.
According to the report, as of the morning of February 21, local time, Cambodia had confirmed a total of 533 cases, cured a total of 473 cases, and treated 60 cases in the hospital.
According to previous reports, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen confirmed on February 20 that the Chinese community in the country had an outbreak of new crown pneumonia. Test results showed that 32 Chinese citizens were diagnosed with the new crown virus.
Hun Sen appealed to the public not to discriminate against Chinese in Cambodia.
The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia also issued an important reminder on its website on the 20th, calling on Chinese citizens in Cambodia to strictly abide by Cambodian epidemic prevention regulations.
The embassy statement stated that in recent days, a few Chinese citizens who came to Cambodia illegally left the quarantine hotel to go out; a few Chinese citizens in Cambodia deliberately hid after learning that the test result was positive, avoiding isolation treatment.
The above actions seriously violated the Cambodian government's relevant anti-epidemic regulations, which not only brought great challenges to Cambodia's epidemic prevention work, but also allegedly violated relevant local laws.
The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia strongly urges: Chinese citizens in Cambodia must strictly abide by the Cambodian government's epidemic prevention regulations, and actively cooperate with the Cambodian health authorities in relevant epidemic prevention work. If someone develops symptoms related to new coronary pneumonia, please seek medical attention immediately without concealment; if someone is diagnosed as positive, please actively cooperate with the isolation treatment of the authorities, and truthfully inform them of their close contact history, and must not escape. "The new crown virus is the enemy of all mankind, and fighting the epidemic requires everyone of us to work together. I believe that as long as we join hands, mankind will be able to defeat the new crown virus as soon as possible."
