Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen suspects that he may have contracted COVID-19 according to statements he made at an event Monday, when he ordered officials to discuss ways to soften the economic effects of the disease on workers.

The announcement came just two days after Cambodia reported the first confirmed case in a Cambodian national, a 38-year old man in Siem Reap province who had direct contact with a Japanese man who tested positive for coronavirus after transiting in Vietnam and returning to Japan.
