The Kandal Provincial Administration has decided to extend the suspension of all businesses and occupations deemed as posing high risk of Covid-19 transmission for another two weeks from August 27 through September 9.
In a decision dated August 26, municipal governor Kong Sophorn said the measures were necessary to curb the spread of the coronavirus, especially the highly contagious Delta variant.
He said businesses deemed as posing high risks include entertainment venues, KTVs, nightclubs, discotheques, beer gardens, casinos, resorts, museum, parks, massage parlours, cinemas and sport centres.
Some other businesses might also be suspended depending on the actual situation, the directive said.
All gatherings of more than 10 people are also banned.
Businesses not deemed as posing high risks as stated in the directive can proceed as usual but must strictly follow preventive measures.
