A curfew from 9 pm to 3 am will come into effect from Friday 30th of July to August 12, in one of the Government’s harshest measures to date to try and arrest the spike in COVID-19 cases – particularly the ‘Delta’ variant, which is threatening to run loose in the country.
Documents released by the Government at 2200 hours on 27 July state that the curfew is needed to prohibit and curb unwarranted activities which cause people to congregate and, in the process, unwittingly aid in the spread of the COVID-19 virus, in particular, the Delta Variant.
Previous curfew declarations were limited in scope and areas. However, this time extends beyond the capital city Phnom Penh, encompassing all cities across the nation and all provincial capitals, highlighting the gravity of the COVID-19 situation in the country, despite declining community infection numbers in the past two days.
In addition to the curfew, re-imposition of the three colour coded zones to identify the hardest hit COVID areas will also be re-enforced, Red being severe, Orange with limited movement and Yellow for all clear.
