 VOD, Dec. 8, 2020

Two customers of fashion stores in Phnom Penh have tested positive for Covid-19, the Health Ministry said on Tuesday, bringing the total of patients in the “November 28” cluster to 34.

The ministry earlier also announced the government was halting its “sponsored” arrivals program that had allowed some foreign visitors to quarantine for just two days instead of two weeks.

In a statement on Tuesday, the ministry said it found two new cases of Covid-19:

• A 22-year-old man who visited Zando on St. 63 on November 27, the same day it was visited by an Interior Ministry official whose positive test was announced on Monday.
• A 35-year-old woman who visited Pedro on Sihanouk Blvd. on November 27. Seven staff members of the store have earlier tested positive.

In earlier statements, the ministry also announced that Canadia Tower, where a Bank of China employee who was found to have Covid-19 worked, would be closed until December 17, and that arrivals rules would be tightened.
