PHNOM PENH, Feb 18 (Xinhua): Cambodia has decided to lower the fee for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Covd-19 test with a certificate to US$50 from the current US$130 dollars for outbound travelers, Health Minister Mam Bunheng said.
For all the authorized Covid-19-testing laboratories in the country, the new price for a PCR test with a result certificate, for outbound Cambodians and foreigners who may need it, is set at US$50, Mam said in a statement.
"The new price will take effect from Feb. 18, 2023 onwards," he added.
The minister said the PCR test will be made at the request of outbound travelers only, as the South-East Asian nation does not require any travelers to undergo either a rapid antigen test or a PCR test.
A Ministry of Health's latest report showed that to date, Cambodia has inoculated 14.63 million people, 91.4 per cent of its 16 million population, with two required Covid-19 vaccine doses. - Xinhua
