Cambodia has decided to lift a ban on passengers from India after the latter country has witnessed a drop in new coronavirus cases, Health Minister Mam Bunheng said in a statement.

The Southeast Asian country banned all Indian nationals and foreign passengers travelling through India from entering Cambodia in late April to curb the spread of the Covid Delta variant.
