People wait to get tested inside a red zone with strict lockdown measures during the latest outbreak of the coronavirus disease in Phnom Penh, Cambodia April 30, 2021. ― Reuters picPHNOM PENH, May 6 ― Cambodia ended today a blanket coronavirus lockdown in Phnom Penh after three weeks, as busy traffic returned to some streets of the capital, though authorities retained tighter curbs in some districts where infections have surged.

While health experts have warned about lifting curbs too quickly, the lockdown had triggered anger from some residents who called the distribution of food aid inadequate. “I request that people should not be negligent, because we are living under a new way of life in the context of Covid-19,” Phnom Penh's deputy governor Mean Chanyada told a news conference.

As Phnom Penh opens up, authorities have also introduced new measures, such as only permitting 50 per cent of workers in factories to return and with the priority on those vaccinated.
