PHNOM PENH, Feb 8 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): The Phnom Penh Municipal Administration has issued a measure banning assembly with immediate effect in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 among several hundred NagaWorld protesters, after 41 of them tested positive for the Omicron variant.

The former employees have been going on months-long strikes to protest what they have described as unfair layoffs and the management refusing to negotiate with the union.
