Also on March 28, the country’s Ministry of Heath confirmed 54 new COVID-19 infections and no death.
However, Cambodian authorities have warned that a hybrid variant between Omicron and Delta, called Deltacron, has appeared on the Thai border and may enter the nation following the influx of workers from Thailand returning home to celebrate the New Year festival next month./.
