Phnom Penh (FN), Jul. 1 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen announced to allow all private companies to use rapid COVID19 testing device after the Kingdom has seen a sharp rise in COVID19 cases.

The premier addressed a special message through video conference from his house on Thursday morning.

"I would like to call on all private companies to use rapid test kits for COVID19 on their own staff, as it helps to fasten the process," said prime minister Hun Sen.

Head of the Royal Government of Cambodia stressed that a team of doctors from health department will assist private companies to use the device.

He mentioned that this practice is beneficial as employees will volunteer to get tested, and if tested positive, they would get immediate help.

Apart from private companies, prime minister Hun Sen has ordered the military, armed forces and police units to also use rapid COVID19 testing device.

To date, Cambodia has confirmed 51,384 cases of COVID19 with 44,858 recoveries and 628 deaths.
