Prime Minister Hun Sen said the draft law aiming to place the Kingdom in a state of emergency amid the Covid-19 pandemic is likely to be approved after the Khmer New Year, though he said there is a slim chance of enforcement given the current situation. The reason the National Assembly on Friday passed a sweeping state of emergency draft law, which rights advocates say is ripe for abuse, as the number of Covid-19 cases in the country has slowly, but steadily risen since last month. While the Senate is expected to debate and approve the “State of Emergency” law next week, if it is approved by the National Assembly on Friday, the question remains on who can declare a state of emergency since King Norodom Sihamoni is still in China for a medical checkup.

The government issued a one-week ban on civilian travel in and out of Phnom Penh, and between districts outside the capital, effective at midnight and aimed at limiting the spread of Covid-19, according to an order from Prime Minister Hun Sen. The travel restriction is in effect from 24:00 on Thursday until 24:00 on April 16, the order says. The government, in wanting to strictly enforce measures to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic by eliminating possibilities of mass gathering or traveling in big groups has stated that all workers who left for the Khmer New Year holidays will not be able to come back to work immediately as has been in the practice in the past.https://bit.ly/2XphoUf; https://bit.ly/2XqHyG4; https://bit.ly/3cai0RP; https://bit.ly/2yEMflg; https://bit.ly/2RoZZaj;
