Cambodian Prime Minister issued a purchase of more than 3,000 caskets from Thailand in the context of death caused by NCOV.

Cambodian Interior Minister Kol Virek on July 15 announced that more than 1,000 coffins was transferred to 12 provinces to prevent the number of deaths by Covid-19.

We will send a casket to the Western provinces first, as this is a higher risk of death due to receiving many migrant workers.

In response to the situation of lack of coffin because of Covid-19 death, some provinces in Cambodia have partnered with the Ministry of Environment to produce cundons from timber confiscated during logging.

At least we have enough coffins to cremation or burial of hidden people.

Officials of Cambodia Ministry of Environment examine the coffin production situation in Kampot province.

The spokesman The Department of Environment of Cambodia Nether Neth Pheaktra on July 15 said it would use 1,347 meters of timber confiscated in elementary piracy in 2020 and in 2021 to produce coffins.

Cambodia currently recorded more than 65,500 cases and more than 1,000 deaths caused by NCOV.
