BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, July 19 (Borne Bulletin/ANN): Cambodia is tentatively planning to reopen schools – at least at the secondary level – when the vaccination of children aged 12-17 is completed, even though daily transmissions and deaths in other age groups remain high.

Schools across the country have been suspended since March 20, one month after the third community cluster transmission broke out on February 20. Classes have been conducted virtually since then.
