Hanoi (VNA) - Cambodia reopened public schools across the country on January 11 after the first community outbreak of COVID-19 was over late last year.

In a message to mark the 2020-2021 new academic year, Prime Minister Hun Sen urged all schools to strictly adhere to the safety measures set by the Ministry of Health.

He said both teachers and students must wear face masks, have their temperature checked, wash hands frequently and keep a social distance of 1.5 meters from each other.
