Schools in Cambodia's capital and the surrounding area will be shut for two weeks as a precaution after Hungary's foreign minister tested positive for the coronavirus after visiting Cambodia last week, the education ministry said.

Public and private schools in Phnom Penh, the capital, and the surrounding province of Kandal will be closed again for two weeks, the education ministry said in a statement.

It said students will be able to learn online, as they did when schools were closed earlier, according to AP.
