Siem Reap: According to preliminary information from the Siem Reap provincial authorities, a 70-year-old Hungarian man suspected of contracting COVID-19 has been found in Siem Reap.
The man, who was traveling from France via South Korea, arrived in Cambodia on September 13, 2020, and his test results at the time were negative for the coronavirus. He was then isolated at his residence in Siem Reap until September 25, 2020.
