The Ministry of Health revealed that Cambodia had tested around 5,700 people for the novel coronavirus as of Tuesday, with the country reporting 109 cases in total and 23 recoveries.
COVID-19 testing has been at the center of the global debate over how to curb the spread of the virus, with many countries struggling to procure enough tests or were not testing the required number of citizens to assess the spread of the respiratory disease.
After announcing on March 18 that Cambodia had conducted around 1,100 tests, the Ministry of Health spokesperson Ly Sovann said the country had tested a total of 5,768 people for the virus, including the 1,580 passengers and crew aboard the MS Westerdam cruise ship.
