The Cambodian government on Sunday asked local authorities to strengthen safety measures along the border after neighboring Thailand reported more than 500 cases of Covid-19 in its Samut Sakhon province.
Samut Sakhon is located about 300 km away from Cambodia’s border.
“The authorities along Cambodia’s provincial border with Thailand must be on high alert and must check health for all incoming travelers thoroughly, screening their body’s temperatures and requiring them to fill in health declaration forms,” Cambodian Health Minister Mam Bunheng said in a statement.
