Hungarian Foreign Minister who met HS this week tests COVID+ in Thailand
Wow.
https://vodenglish.news/hungarian-offic ... g-hun-sen/
Top Cambodian officials are going into quarantine after Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, who visited the country on Tuesday and signed three agreements in front of Prime Minister Hun Sen, tested positive for Covid-19 after arriving in Thailand on Wednesday.
Agriculture Minister Veng Sakhon, who was at the signing ceremony on Tuesday, told VOD that he had not yet received specific information from the Health Ministry, but he and his colleagues at the ministry were now going into quarantine.
He said he visited flooded farmers in Pursat province on Wednesday, but would not specify how many people he had met.
Water Resources Minister Lim Kean Hor said he had shaken hands with Szijjarto, but cleaned his hand with alcohol spray after returning to his seat, so he was not worried about contagion.
He said he and other ministry officials who had contact with the Hungarian foreign minister would be tested and go into quarantine.
A representative of the Thai Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed that the Thai government announced to Thai media that the Hungarian official had tested positive, and said Szijjarto had not met with any Thai nationals aside from the doctor.
Hungarian state news agency MTI reported on Wednesday that Szijjarto tested positive after he continued his diplomatic tour to Thailand, and has no symptoms, according to Reuters.
Szijjarto made a visit to Cambodia on Tuesday, with state news agency Agence Kampuchea Presse saying the official visit “will further expand and strengthen the traditionally close relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.”
The ceremony was held at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh and presided over by Hun Sen, according to AKP, and saw the signings of an air service agreement with Minister in Charge of Civil Aviation Mao Havannall; an agricultural agreement with Sakhon; and an agreement related to water management with Kean Hor.
Government spokesperson Phay Siphan said he did not know whether officials would be tested for coronavirus and said it was the job of the Health Ministry.
Health Ministry spokesperson Or Vandine told reporters in a message that she had no information about Szijjarto testing positive and was on a provincial trip.

The Hungarian Embassy in Bangkok doesn’t answer the phone or read emails and the Hanoi team are village fools.Felgerkarb wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 6:37 pmOoops. Well, at least the Hungarians are reopening their embassy after 25 years.
I met their local representative in Phnom Penh last year. He couldn’t answer many questions and rides a tuk tuk but nice enough guy who can drink a lot of pálinka.
How do the UK embassy respond to inquiries or requests for help here?
Hungary isn’t opening an embassy. The embassy in Hanoi is opening an office in Cambodia.
The UK embassy respond to inquiries? That's a new one.you need a mirror wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 7:47 pmHow do the UK embassy respond to inquiries or requests for help here?

That would be some great irony just as HEs heroic book of how he saved Cambodia from covid he caught it and died
The question that needs to be addressed is - Did the Hungarian minister contract the virus in Cambodia? I am assuming he was tested on arrival into the country like everyone else!

He was here for what, 24 hours? He landed back in Thailand, was tested there, and was positive. After everything we've learned about the virus this year, people don't catch it and immediately test positive, there is a long incubation period, hence the 14 day+ quarantines in place around the world. So, I think it is extremely implausible that he caught it here.Guest wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 1:03 amThe question that needs to be addressed is - Did the Hungarian minister contract the virus in Cambodia?

Serious question: was he tested before he left Hungary?
Didn't two staff at the US embassy travel to Cambodia without testing before departure?

Auditioning for a role in the live action version of "Mr Benn" if that suit is anything to go by.
