PHNOM PENH: The Ministry of Public Works and Transport issued an announcement on Friday to suspend the entry of travellers through waterways to prevent the spread of the Covid-19.
Mak Sideth, director general of the General Department of Waterway-Maritime Transport and Ports, said the ministry is currently informing all owners of passenger ships about the suspension at all waterways, including sea ways and ports, the Khmer Times reported.
“The department has decided to suspend the entry of passengers and ships from now on until further notice,” he said. “Therefore, please be informed and follow the new directive.”
The decision was made following the coronavirus diagnosis of three British nationals aboard the Viking Cruise Journey in Kampong Cham province. Remaining passengers of the ship are currently placed under quarantine in a hotel in the province.

People should count on one Khmer hero named Ah Chos Kauot Hun Sen who can destroy corona virus with his one eye. Hun Sen can kill such virus by looking at it. Hun Sen said corona virus is nothing more than tiger shit.
