The coastal figure of 40% referred to expected area coverage, not the chance of rain or national coverage.\nKampuchea Thmey reported on May 14 that Dr លី សូវ៉ាន់, the Health Ministry spokesperson and head of its communicable-disease department, urged awareness of rainy-season infections, including dengue, influenza, febrile illness, food- and waterborne disease and cholera. That report did not announce a cholera outbreak.\nThe report said he advised preparing raincoats, umbrellas and waterproof footwear, maintaining personal and food hygiene, drinking warm water or soup and eating nutritious foods and vegetables.\nFor dengue prevention, the report recommended clearing discarded tyres, coconut shells and other water-holding objects to reduce mosquito breeding sites and protect children.\nThe report cited Dr លី សូវ៉ាន់ as recommending continued mask use, frequent handwashing with soap and water, and avoiding coughing directly into the palms to reduce hand-mediated transmission.\nThe original article advised watching the weather and one’s health.\nThe original article also advised seeking professional assessment for persistent high fever, headache or muscle pain.\nRain scene accompanying the contemporaneous report; the publisher did not specify when or where it was photographed.","contentScope":"full","proof":{"publishedSourceRevision":"1","publishedWorkingVersionId":"13763","languageVersionId":"7700","visibilityVersion":"2","versionToken":"a1.pJi1_2Rv4o8T_kpOJ1hTdcipLSf-XqQUZoGVncZs9MM"},"availableLocales":["zh","en","km"],"attributes":{"sourceLocale":"zh","translationKind":"machine","nodeId":"183","authorText":"","sourceName":"KPS99TV"},"references":[],"links":[],"publishedAt":"2026-05-15T06:39:13Z"}
