In the past 51 days, five hospitals and centres with 4,300 beds have been set up to treat Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms, according to deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Hun Manet.

In a Facebook post on April 21, Manet said the treatment centres the team had set up are the Great Duke Hotel, Luang Mer Hospital, Covid-19 treatment Koh Pich I and II, and Covid-19 treatment Toul Pongro.

"I would like to thank all team members for their active participation in this event," he said. "Without the participation of everyone, we would not have been able to accomplish this great task in such a short time."

The establishment of Covid-19 treatment facilities took place while Cambodia was experiencing a severe Covid-19 epidemic, especially after the February 20 outbreak, which has caused worsening Covid-19 transmissions.

Dr. Hok Kim Cheng, director of general health of Ministry of Health, said on April 26 that as of April 25, there are 35 Covid-19 treatment facilities nationwide.

As of April 26, Cambodia has recorded a total of 10,555 Covid-19 cases, including 10,005 cases from the February 20 community event, and 3,577 patients are hospitalised, 6,892 have been cured and 79 deaths.
