The Pandemic has got a firmer foothold in Cambodia now. Still the Country manages it pretty well eventhough many in red zones will not like it. With the daily death rate of about 5 a day we're still not anywhere near our neighbors , let alone europe or the US. That could change pretty quickly and now even the biggest provider of tourism revenue CHINA is worried when the May Holidays start there. It's predictable that many people want to travel again and Cambodia may be a prime destination. The business from these Tourists is urgently needed here. Hotels, Restaurants etc. desperately need it in order to prevent closure for good.
But if even the Chinese Government is worried we have reason to be vigilant and ... obey the current rules otherwise risk like ending up like India because of the lack of medical facilities/staff/etc.
