PHNOM PENH - Cambodia on Tuesday ordered journalists to stop reporting from blockaded coronavirus "red zones" and from chasing ambulances as the country battles against a record surge in infections.
On Tuesday, officials announced a record 938 new infections, bringing the total cases to 16,299 with 107 deaths. Phnom Penh and adjacent city Ta Khmau have been under lockdown for 20 days and the government has announced the blanket would end from Thursday.Police have set up blockades around red zones barring residents from leaving their homes, except on medical reasons.
The ministry said some journalists had reported from red zones and banned areas such as treatment centers and hospitals. Rights group Amnesty International issued a strong condemnation of Cambodia's lockdown measures last week, saying they had left many people to go hungry and humanitarian groups had been barred from distributing food and other essential aid.
