Phnom Penh, April 10 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Phnom Penh municipal governor Khuong Sreng late on Friday (April 9) placed parts of three districts in two-week lockdown as Covid-19 cases in the areas soar to an alarming level. The lockdown will last through April 23.

Sreng said on Saturday (April 10) the decision came after 631 workers from Din Han Enterprise, which has over 2,600 workers, tested Covid-19 on April 9 alone, just hours after the Ministry of Health reported 576 new cases linked to the February 20 community outbreak and the country's 25th Covid-19 fatality.
