CORONAVIRUS | Cambodia has banned flights from Malaysia and Indonesia due to imported Covid-19 cases.
The ban will take place on Aug 1, according to Khmer Times.
"From July 20 to 25, the ministry noticed the number of Covid-19 (cases) found in passengers from Malaysia and Indonesia flights increased notably," the Cambodian newspaper quoted a letter from the country's Health Ministry.
It said Cambodia recorded 108 Covid-19 cases involving passengers on Malaysian and Indonesian flights.
Malaysia is a transit hub for flights into Cambodia.
The report said most of the Covid-19 cases were from flights returning from Russia and the Middle East which transited in Malaysia.
At present, Malaysians are not allowed to leave the country but foreigners are allowed to do so.
Putrajaya had also been pushing to deport undocumented migrants from its immigration detention centres.
The ban by Cambodia came ahead of its New Year celebration next month.
It said the ban will only be lifted at the request of Cambodia's Covid-19 committee.
