Coronavirus: Cambodia to charge $3k for testing and quarantine


Anyone visiting Cambodia will be required to pay a $3,000 'coronavirus deposit' upon arrival at the airport to cover the costs of testing and quarantine. Officials in the Southeast Asian country have said that the deposit will be refunded after fees for Covid-19 tests, quarantine costs and necessary medical services have been deducted. According to the travel blog Frommers, each new arrival will have to pay $5 for transportation from the airport to a testing facility. If a single passenger on an airplane coming into Cambodia is found to have coronavirus, everyone on the plane will have to quarantine for 14 days, costing them each over $1,200. Cambodia was quick to respond to the virus, implementing an aggressive testing and tracing strategy, while also temporarily suspending foreign visas and travel.
