PHNOM PENH, Aug 14 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): In just a single morning on Friday (Aug 13), up to 600 Cambodian migrant workers returned from Thailand through three border checkpoints in Banteay Meanchey province, with more than 30 of them testing positive for Covid-19.

The influx followed the government's decision to reopen borders with Thailand after a 14-day closure to stem Covid-19, especially its Delta variant.
