PHNOM PENH – The International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Better Factories Cambodia initiative has launched a mobile phone hotline in the country to provide garment workers with information on how best to recognise and prevent the spread of coronavirus whilst working.
Though an increasing number of factories continue to close in the southeast Asian nation – 250 according to the latest figures from the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC) – some are still tasked with operating at a time when concerns linger of catching COVID-19.
Though best efforts are being made by factory bosses to establish protective measures, it’s also important that workers themselves remain vigilant, and it’s hoped access to the latest guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Ministry of Health will improve this.
