Cambodia confirms first case of coronavirus

Cambodia’s Health Ministry on Monday confirmed the country’s first case of the new coronavirus.
A 60-year-old Chinese man arrived in the coastal city of Sihanoukville on January 23 from the Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak.
The man developed symptoms on January 25 and tested positive on Monday, ministry spokesman Ly Sovann told dpa.
The Cambodian government had earlier announced that it had placed thermal scanners in the nation’s three international airports in an effort to contain the spread of the virus.
