Cambodia lifts entry ban on six nationalities as Covid-19 ebbs

Cambodia has removed its ban on visitors from France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Spain and the United States, which was first imposed in mid-March amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. The Agence Kampuchea Presse news agency reported Wednesday that visitors from these countries are now allowed to enter the country, but with conditions. The AKP report adds that all passengers entering Cambodia will be required to have a health certificate, which certifies that the passenger has been tested negative for Covid-19. A health risk assessment will also be made to anyone entering the country. In addition, foreign nationals must provide proof of insurance coverage during their intended stay in Cambodia with a minimum medical coverage of not less than $50,000. Cirium schedules data show that in May 2020, just over 26,000 seats are being offered by 15 carriers on flights departing out of Cambodia for the month. This is a far cry from the 648,700 seats that were offered by 44 carriers in May 2019.<br/>
