All inbound flights set to face added scrutiny

Ministry of Health spokesperson Or Vandine said on Monday that the ministry is monitoring all inbound flights, after it was announced that only those from Malaysia and Indonesia will be temporarily cancelled from August 1.

Vandine said on Monday that the two countries were identified as most Cambodians who travelled home from the US, France, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt and Mali came through them, and caused a spike in Covid-19 cases.

She was responding to critics who questioned why only flights from Malaysia and Indonesia were temporarily axed but not those from China when an aviation company claimed it had the most flights to Cambodia.
