Siem Reap Authority Turns Angkor High School into New COVID-19 Treatment Facility

The Siem Reap Provincial Health Department has decided to use Angkor High School in Sangkat Sala Kamroeuk as a new COVID-19 treatment centre for mild-symptom patients from 28 June onwards.

Dr Kros Sarath, Director of the Health Department of the Siem Reap Provincial Administration, said that Angkor High School has more than 100 rooms that can accommodate up to 500 to 600 patients.

He added that the use of Angkor High School as a new treatment facility will ease the workload at two more other facilities, the referral hospital (for severe symptom patients) and the provincial pedagogical and vocational school (for moderate symptom patients).

As of the night of 28 June 2021, Siem Reap province has a total of 1,034 positive cases related to the 20 February incident, with 391 recoveries and 10 deaths.
