Cambodia continues to enforce COVID-19 restrictions in Phnom Penh as of July 7. Stricter measures ongoing in some areas.
Event
Officials continue to enforce restrictions in Phnom Penh as of July 7 due to ongoing COVID-19 activity. Schools and high-risk businesses, such as casinos, cinemas, nightclubs, and sports centers, remain closed. Officials limit gatherings to 15 people, except for family members living in the same residence or at funerals. Most of Phnom Penh remains as yellow zones, and most businesses can operate on-site with health protocols. Authorities have classified some villages with higher COVID-19 activity in Khan Pou Senchey as orange zones; residents must stay at home in affected villages unless working in essential industries or for emergencies. Only essential sectors can operate on-site in these locations.
Authorities will likely maintain security protocols, such as checkpoints, to enforce restrictions in specific areas, especially the orange zones. Business disruptions will likely continue in localities where enhanced measures are in effect.
Advice
Heed the instructions of authorities. Consider avoiding nonessential operations in areas impacted by the restrictions. Confirm transport reservations. Remain cooperative if questioned by law enforcement officers.
