The government has announced an entry ban of foreigners from Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and the United States for a period of 30 days to prevent the possible spread of Covid-19.
According to a Health Ministry statement issued today, the ban takes effect from Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
The ministry spokeswoman Or Vandine declined to give further details.
In a separate statement, the ministry also decided to temporarily close the Canadian International School, which is situated in Koh Pich after a Canadian man tested positive for Covid-19.

The epidemic in the USA and Europe is just starting and will take 6 weeks to end IF things go right. China in particular the epidemic is starting to end. Doesn't entirely make sense I know, but of the Americans that are coming over, you don't know who has it. China the individual most likely doesn't. I think that would be their reasoning. They do get some advice and help from WHO on what to do.
My question is how many confirmed cases are there in Cambodia? |

I was just looking into this, but not sure who to contact officially. I saw on a flight website that the ban includes Germany, Italy, France etc. Does it seriously not include China?
Would like to get out of here, even if it is safe now! |

Perhaps a political move on Hun Sen's part to please his buddies in Beijing?
