Cambodia keeps strict line on virus

After months of logging only sporadic infections, Cambodia has taken no chances in its battle against COVID-19 by stepping up control measures.

As of Friday, 40 infections linked to the country’s first known case of community transmission had been reported since late November, data from Cambodia’s Ministry of Health shows.
