The Cambodian Ministry of Health confirmed Monday evening the first case of the novel coronavirus in the country’s coastal province of Preah Sihanouk.
One male member of a Chinese family, which had flown into Sihanoukville from Wuhan, China, was confirmed infected with the virus, said Health Minister Mam Bunheng. Three other members of his family are currently under observations and all four people are being treated or observed at the Preah Sihanouk Referral Hospital.
The family arrived in Cambodia on January 23 and the 60-year-old Chinese national Jia Jinhua started show flu-like symptoms on January 25, while staying at a hotel in Sihanoukville, said the health minister.
