This is the highest number of new infections in a single day since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in Cambodia. This record number was recorded after a series of new outbreaks were discovered in the capital Phnom Penh.

The capital Phnom Penh is currently the locality with the highest number of Covid-19 cases with 2,216 cases, equivalent to two-thirds of the total number of Covid-19 cases nationwide. Followed by Preah Sihanouk, Kandal and Svay Rieng provinces.
