Phnom Penh, March 02, 2020 –Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has once again called on his compatriots to join hands in combating the spread of COVID-19.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While presiding over the graduation ceremony of over 1,500 students of Asia-Euro University held here this morning, Samdech Techo Hun S\u00e8n appealed for more attention and collaboration in preventing the COVID-19 transmission.<\/p>\n

The Premier also took the opportunity to remind the public of strict self-sanitation, stressing that each of us can fight against COVID-19 and fear is more dangerous than COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main choice of self-protection is yourself. No one can wash your hands instead of yourself,\u201d\u00a0he underlined.<\/p>\n

Samdech Techo Hun Sen reaffirmed the Royal Government\u2019s commitment to combat COVID-19, including the cooperation between the Ministry of Health, WHO, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, etc.<\/p>\n

Regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, WHO is urging all countries to optimise availability of oxygen-therapy equipment for patients who develop severe COVID-19.<\/p>\n

In its daily report from Geneva Sunday, the WHO said it was working to \u201cbetter understand, in real time, the clinical presentation, natural history and treatment interventions.”<\/p>\n

The UN agency said a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association last week found that only 2.1 percent of 44,672 patients in China were below the age of 20.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most commonly reported symptoms included fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

About 80 percent of the Chinese patients were only mildly ill. About 14 percent were severely affected and 5 percent were critically ill, with severity reportedly associated with age \u2014 60 years or more \u2014 and other conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOxygen therapy is the major treatment intervention for patients with severe COVID-19,\u201d the WHO said.<\/p>\n

“All countries should work to optimise the availability of pulse oximeters (instruments measuring oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood) and medical oxygen systems.”<\/p>\n

With more than 50 percent of the critically ill dying, “implementation of proven critical care interventions such as lung protective ventilation should be optimised.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the absence of effective antiviral drugs for COVID-19, the agency said clinical trials were evaluating several therapeutic interventions globally including ritonavir\/lopinavir and remdesivir.<\/p>\n
