PHNOM PENH: Cambodia can fully reopen its economy across all sectors if the Covid-19 situation post Pchum Ben remains stable at current levels for at least 10 consecutive days.
Prime Minister Hun Sen while revealing this after the Cabinet meeting on Friday added that reopening fully is however dependent on the people adjusting their lifestyles to live with the new normal, whereby Covid-19 is viewed as endemic and no longer as a pandemic.
“The current Covid-19 situation remains stable with less than 20 deaths per day as well as less than 300 cases recorded per day. If the situation remains as it is for the next 10 to 15 days, then I think it is time to reopen the economy and society across all sectors under the new normal concept,” Hun Sen said while stressing that people must maintain vigilance and follow health protocols strictly.
The premier also reiterated that the bulk of the victims who had died from Covid-19 were unvaccinated and he lambasted a segment of the population who were pro-opposition for not getting themselves vaccinated.
He added that on Thursday, out of 10 Covid-19-related deaths five were found to be unvaccinated while five have been vaccinated.
