The South-east Asian nation of Cambodia has reported no new virus cases for more than three weeks.
The country has seen an astonishingly high recovery rate as well. Of the 122 confirmed virus cases, 120 people have recovered – and zero deaths were recorded.
But it’s hard to say if the low figures are reflective of the situation on the ground – or a result of under testing.
According to the Phnom Penh Post, only around 12,304 people have been tested – or 757 of every one million people. Cambodia’s population stands at around 16 million.
But the country is still choosing to remain cautious despite its low figures, with schools and entertainment venues like theaters, beer gardens and massage parlors remaining shut.
“We need to continue [suspension], to make sure we are in control,” said Minister Mam Bunheng, according to a VOA report. “We should never try to take [a] risk.”
