In view of the acute emergency, the Phnom Penh City Council has decided to temporarily close the vegetable market for 14 days from April 18 to May 1. ”

The Phnom Penh City Council has also notified vendors, security agents, market workers and their families and customers who entered the market from April 5 to get tested for Covid-19 immediately.
