The Phnom Penh Municipality held a meeting with the Housing Development Association of Cambodia (HDAC), and other borey developers on Wednesday 25 August to discuss new health control measures, aimed at halting the spread of COVID-19 on construction sites across Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh Governor HE Khuong Sreng said that the construction sector is one of the core economic driving factors for Cambodia, thus the municipality must pay high attention to ensure that the sector will not be severely disrupted by the pandemic.

“Tightening health control measures will not only help keep the workers and related officers on the site safe but also reduce the risk of site suspension due to positive cases that can later result in project delays,” he added.

HDAC President Neak Oknha Ly Hour also expressed his optimism that the cooperation between the municipality and other borey developers this time would help the sector to be more resilient and recover faster along with the economy.

In late July, the Phnom Penh Municipality has also issued 14 new instructions for construction site owners in Phnom Penh to practice strengthening health control measures. (Read more)
