Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 16 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen called on compatriots to continue to fight COVID19, speaking at the inauguration for the official use of the seven bridges in Kratie and Prey Veng provinces on Wednesday.

“We need to work hard to fight COVID19. The reported case has dropped from 500 cases (14 Feb) to only 184 yesterday and today the figure slightly rose to 204,” the premier underlined.

He continued that COVID19 Delta and Alpha variants already left Cambodia, so only Omicron variant exists.

Samdech added, Vietnam reported more than 30,000 new cases of COVID19 per day, but the number of deaths decreased due to Vietnam's high vaccination rate. Therefore, the vaccine helps save people from severe conditions.

To date, Cambodia has confirmed 124,343 cases of COVID19 with 119,353 recoveries and 3,015 deaths.
