Cambodia, which uses the clothing and footwear industry as the main source of income for economic development, has undertaken some orders transferred due to the impact of the epidemic.

Due to different epidemic control policies, the Cambodian authorities will not stop factories immediately after the outbreak. “Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the factory has not stopped work. If there is an epidemic in the factory, the proportion of people who are sick needs to be checked. If there are few patients, the factory can handle it by itself and let the workers rest at home. The Cambodian government will not directly stop production. If it stops, many people will lose their source of livelihood." Zhang Liang said.

The epidemic situation in Cambodia is also not optimistic. The Ministry of Health of Cambodia announced on the 29th that on August 28, 438 new cases were confirmed in Cambodia.

As of 7 a.m. on August 29, Cambodia had confirmed about 90,000 cases, cured about 88,000 cases, and died in 1,881 cases.

The confirmed patients included air passengers, workers returning to Cambodia from Thailand and Vietnam, community citizens, civil servants, and garment factory workers. At present, the Delta mutant virus has spread to 23 provinces and cities, and only Baima and Kratie provinces have not been affected.

Zhang Liang believes that the severe epidemic in Vietnam has both advantages and disadvantages for some companies. The advantage is that some Vietnamese orders have been transferred to Cambodia. The disadvantage is that some factories need to purchase raw materials from Vietnam. Many cities in Vietnam have closed factories and shut down, and factories often have shortages of materials. Circumstances, we can only purchase urgently from China. However, the Vietnam epidemic has little impact on luggage processing plants, and the raw materials for luggage processing plants basically come from China.
