(Phnom Penh): While chairing the weekly cabinet meeting on Friday (May 23) at the Peace Palace, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet instructed the Ministry of Health to prepare vaccines, medical personnel, and designated locations for immediate deployment in the event of a large-scale resurgence of COVID19.

This directive was issued after Samdech Thipadei observed that new COVID19 variants have been re-emerging in several neighbouring countries, while Cambodia has also begun to record an increase in infections.

On this occasion, Samdech Thipadei further instructed the Ministry of Health to remind the public to remain vigilant and to prepare storage facilities for one million vaccine doses, which will be provided to Cambodia through the COVID19 Vaccines Global Access, abbreviated as COVAX.
