PM: As Herd Immunity Becomes Stronger, the Obligation to Wear Masks Is No Longer Necessary

PHNOM PENH: Prime Minister Hun Sen has said that as herd immunity grows stronger, the obligation to wear masks becomes no longer necessary. He made this statement while speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the achievements made in the Flood Protection Project in Phnom Penh on Wednesday morning (20 April).

The Prime Minister appealed to the public to get their booster shots to further build herd immunity. He continued by calling on the relevant authorities to make arrangements for a factory vaccination campaign, which would allow factory workers to take a day off to receive their booster dose and thus strengthen workers’ protection.

He also stated that only receiving the two base doses of the vaccine was no longer effective, and people will need to receive a third dose to continue their self-protection.

The Prime Minister further confirmed that, "We now have at least 6 million people left to receive the third dose."

It should be noted that as of Tuesday, 19 April 2022, Cambodia has vaccinated 14,862,531 people, which is 92.89% of its total population.
