Cambodia has issued a high alert and tightened its border following Thailand reporting a sudden spurt of 576 Covid-19 cases on Sunday which includes 516 migrant workers.
The government has also directed all its citizens living along the Thai borders to take all precautionary measures to prevent getting infected with the deadly disease, especially with people commuting between the Cambodian-Thai border, the Khmer Times reported on Monday.
Prime Minister Hun Sen on his Facebook page on Sunday called on Cambodian workers working in Thailand not to return to Cambodia, as a preventive measure, at this moment in time.
