Passengers from a cruise ship turned away by four countries because of coronavirus fears have finally been allowed off in Cambodia.
The ship had been at sea for two weeks, and the 2,000 passengers and crew had been tested to see if they were carrying the virus when it arrived on Wednesday.
Al Jazeera’s Wayne Hay reports from Sihanoukville where the ship arrived.
He says the Cambodian government is prepared to let passengers into the country, even if they were found to be infected with the virus.

Japan wants to hide the cruel past.
Germany admits and apologizes.
Many people died while living in vivo, sexual slavery, forced recruitment, and colonization of Korea. Why are you trying to hide that?
Good luck cambo. To combo virus even more spread
For me I’m feeling stunned and speechless since the first few minutes I saw it on the Khmer news. And I had to say that I’m worried about the consequences of PM’s decisions.
I just don’t understand how “big heart” “poor country”
“good nation” have anything to do with this situation and the safety of our nation. Or maybe I’m too stupid I couldn’t understand that.
BTW I am Cambodian.
Hi rich countries you're really poor heat no heart for help, cambodia poor mony but rich heart than countries rich mony
SURE OR THEY CAN GET SICK IN THE CRUISE. IN CRUISE FOR 1 MONTH IS TOTALLY VIRUS FREE.
Cambodia the 3 largest spread of coronavirus. They should have done quarantine at least.
So an American from this ship just tested positive for the virus. Hope the Cambodian leader didn't shake hands with Mr virus.
Corona Virus: finally i got a free pass here
There is outbreak in California. It has begun.
Where were they taken?
Corona Virus: Countries are so hostile, every country is refusing me entry, Even my birth country china is becoming more n more hostile
Cambodia: You are welcome here dear, we will accept you with open arms and without masks.
Corona Virus: Thanks Cambodia I will return the favor soon
Monsieur Hun Sen toujours un homme serpent pour notre peuple Khmer.
Shaking hands.
Cue in "to be continued" music…
He just want all there money at their new casino lol
So incubation period is more than 14 days
Camboians often say that Cambodians are poor but good-hearted, but I think they are brainless. Clever Cambodians killed by the Khmer Rouge.
pray for cambodian people
how stupid. lets see in the next 48 hours. no mask and you scram them into buses and planes.
US citizen confirm covid19 passenger from the ship.. US Embassy charter flight from Cambodia to Malaysia.. 145 passengers.. Malaysian Health Ministry.. test positive on 83 yrs old women.. n now.. 3 other charter flight from Cambodia to Malaysia with US citizens.. are forbid to transit in Malaysia.. before embark to US.. well done Cambodia.. u hv now spread the virus even more.. n to ur land..
Cambodia is a corrupt Chinese colony
Im afraid the cambodian pm wagered the health of ordinary cambodians in hopes of winning goodwill points from beijing(earlier i read from bangkok post that a cambodia-china free trade agreement is underway). Later an american lady was tested positive for covid-19 in kl, malaysia. With the level of health facilities in cambodia, I hope no one was infected there.
Stupid Cambodians
They should be kept on board…
Period!!!!
WTF
They complain about US state department while cambodia welcomes them with open arms…….
Are they stupid?
Oh coz we were tested negative….Plenty ppl tested false negative 3 times but got a positive on the 4th test.
Oh the info from US was too confusing…..nobody has figured out the virus, not even china and they were the first to study the virus.
Oh cambodia is our savior….they don't care about ur health as long as you give them a good photo op and put the rest of the world at risk…..u may not show symptoms if ur a carrie. Then bring it home to have ur family infected. Who will you thank?
Frank King comedian, snuck out of cambodia and flew to sea-tac airport..arriving monday , yest. 2/17/2020….has he been quarantined yet..he was on that ship…
If that one lady tested positive for the virus you can be sure that many more are going to be too and now they are all in different places and countries spreading it further. Really stupid especially since these passengers were free to move all around that ship hanging with each other.
Only saw in movies that govt are foolish to expose people to virus now in reality seriously govt of all of countries are foolish . Now we are doomed.
