The residential area has been under quarantine for nearly one month since late March.
Beneficiaries were asked to follow health guidelines when receiving the aid.
According to Vietnamese General Consul Vu Ngoc Ly, Preah Sihanouk authorities and its Red Cross Society will soon distribute food free of charge to all residents in lockdown areas.
The Consulate General said there are no reports on Vietnamese-Cambodians contracted with the SARS-CoV-2 in Preah Sihanouk./.
