PHNOM PENH (Xinhua): Some 115 Cambodians, stranded in Malaysia since April after flights were cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic, will return home on Tuesday (June 16), Cambodian Foreign Ministry's spokesman Koy Kuong has announced.
Kuong said in a press release that Malaysia airlines agreed to arrange a commercial flight for them after subsequent negotiations between the Cambodian Embassy to Malaysia and the airline company.
"The MH762 flight carrying them will depart Kuala Lumpur on June 16, 2020 at 16.30 and is scheduled to arrive in capital Phnom Penh at 17:25 on the same day," he said. Besides the stranded migrant workers, there will be another 104 Cambodians aboard the same flight, he added. Under the kingdom's health measures, the returning Cambodians will be required to undergo lab tests for the Covid-19 upon their arrivals and then, they must be quarantined for 14 days before being allowed to reunite with their families.
According to Kuong, the MH762 flight will then fly back to Kuala Lumpur from Phnom Penh with a total of 164 Malaysian passengers. - Xinhua/Asian News Network
