LANG SON (Vietnam): Cambodia's multi-billion-dollar garment industry is at risk of chain disruption from the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, its strongman premier said on Monday (Mrach 2), as the outbreak cripples South-East Asia's key industries, bringing border trade to a trickle.
The death toll from the virus, which emerged from Wuhan in central China, has reached over 3,000 worldwide -- the bulk of the fatalities in the mainland.
