The Cambodian Ministry of Health on March 25 evening confirmed five new cases, raising the total number in the country to 96.

On March 24, the Standing Board of the Khmer-Vietnamese Association warned Vietnamese Cambodians against movement and overseas trips and advised them to observe countermeasures of the Cambodian government.
