PHNOM PENH, May 10 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Phnom Penh municipal governor Khuong Sreng said the authorities are looking into reducing the size of the red zone areas from being imposed on entire communes to designating them at the village and household level, as new Covid-19 cases in the capital have dropped in recent days.
Sreng revealed these plans while inspecting the vaccination campaign sites in the red zone on the morning of May 9. I am evaluating with specialists how to better consolidate control in the red zones, and we saw that yesterday there were only 200 more Covid-19 cases in Phnom Penh, decreasing from the over 500 per day seen previously, ” he said.

Prime Minister Hun Sen has instructed the vaccination team from the Ministry of National Defence to accelerate its campaign and immunise the roughly 520,000 residents in the red zone and not to worry about a shortage as one million additional doses of vaccines are scheduled to arrive this month.
In an audio message on May 5, Hun Sen said the ad-hoc national commission for Covid-19 vaccination programme had provided 900,000 doses of vaccines to the defence ministry for inoculating residents and workers in the red zones, which could cover around 450,000 people while more than 520,000 people are currently living there.
