PHNOM PENH, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia decided to extend a night curfew in capital Phnom Penh for another two weeks from April 15 to 28 after the number of new COVID-19 cases continues to rise.
"All kinds of travelling in Phnom Penh must be temporarily prohibited from 8 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. local time," Phnom Penh Municipal governor Khuong Sreng said in a decision on Tuesday.
He said the ban provides an exception for those traveling for emergency health reasons or emergency situations, logistics and work for the public good.
The governor added that all food stalls, restaurants, cafes and soft drink shops are not permitted to let customers eat or drink on their premises, but allowed to sell food for takeaway or delivery.
He said all gatherings including gatherings for eating food or drinking alcohol must be temporarily suspended, except for gathering among family members in their houses.
Violators will face penalties under the Anti-COVID-19 Law, Sreng said.
Cambodia imposed a night curfew in Phnom Penh from April 1 to 14, in order to curb the rising cases of the COVID-19. Enditem
