All Gatherings Allowed Without Limited Number of Participants

The Royal Government has allowed other gatherings, in addition to wedding and religious ceremonies, without limiting the number of participants.

“Other general gatherings for work or any activities and celebrations such as gatherings of citizens, youth, students and workers, as well as those of government officials and the armed forces, and those in accordance with the law organised by political parties are also authorised,” announced Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen in a Facebook post this evening.

The Premier emphasised that gatherings of an unlimited number of people must comply with health safety rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In a special voice message released earlier, Samdech Techo Hun Sen said the number of participants at a wedding ceremony or a religious ceremony is not limited anymore, but the health safety rules and other preventive measures have to be strictly implemented.

More or less people invited depends on the size of the venue, but the safety distancing of 1.5 metre and other health preventive measures are a must, he underlined, urging for the invitation of only guests fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

For KTVs and night clubs, they need to wait until after Nov. 30, Samdech Techo Hun Sen reiterated, explaining that they are high-risk areas which need to be reopened with safety preparations.

Cambodia has reopened the country in all domains since Nov. 1, 2021. As of Nov. 11, 87.70 percent of the total population of 16 million have been inoculated against COVID-19 pandemic.
