Where I live it was issued a decree to temporaly close all non-essential commercial establishments and work at home (if possible). The government and the press is frequently asking the people to avoid to go out as much as possible. In the streets is uncommon to see someone wearing mask though.

Thanks for sharing.
In Germany it is similar, until April 20, I heard.
In Cambodia, there is no official decree yet. People are cautioned to be hygienic, wear masks etc. A car with loudspeakers shouting messages of that sort has been driving through the village here in recent days. But today I have not heard it anymore.
The new "state of emergency" law has not yet been passed. As far as I heard, it will only give more possibilities and powers to government to take some emergency measures, like imposing curfews. But not sure when and if anything of it will be implemented at all. Possibly just a convenient "power grab" to pass such a new law, to use it any time later.
Soon is Khmer New Year. As Bhante Johann said, probably not a time to impose serious restrictions.

How is the situation with coronavirus fear and restrictions in daily life for now? Is it getting better, worse? Are there any rules imposed that everybody has to follow?
From what I can read in English language news sources on the internet, I don't find much information.

Moritz, [31.03.20 13:41]
I mean in Cambodia of course.

Moritz, [31.03.20 13:43]
In most of Europe they have imposed some rules, forbidding people to meet with morw than three people etc., to stop the spread of the virus, which will still last many weeks.
But I don't know about any special rules here.

Villa, [31.03.20 13:44]
It is similar here

Moritz, [31.03.20 13:45]
So what exactly, and for how long at least?

Villa, [31.03.20 13:46]
Thats Bhante means you have to stay at Akyum and do what you can do in everyday.. untill the the Corona is gone.

Moritz, [31.03.20 13:48]
I don't ask what Bhante means. I ask if there are any special regulations by the government that one has to follow here.

Moritz, [31.03.20 13:48]
till Corona is gone will take months

Moritz, [31.03.20 13:49]
till Corona fear (and maybe special rules and restrictions) is gone may take less time.

Villa, [31.03.20 13:50]
Yes, Bhante means he accpetd the rules of givernment.

Moritz, [31.03.20 13:51]
I see. But what exactly are these rules? Is there any place where I can read about it maybe on the internet?

So they want to impose a curfew from 8AM to 5 PM for example for some time, it seems.

* Edit: Okay, Bhante Indaññano just told me to not leave the pagoda anymore already.

It seems like the whole world is still more and more coming to a standstill due to the coronavirus pandemic.
How is it where you are?
From here it seems, restrictions are very mild, compared with what is heard for example from Europe. I hear the coronavirus warning messages through loudspeaker from a car driving through the streets multiple times everyday. But it is still possible to go out, buy things in the village, while wearing a mask. (But not all people wear masks outside all the time.) Inside the monastery, life seems "normal".
How are restrictions to your life where you are? In Phnom Penh? In Brazil? In Austria ...

May all be safe, and may the hardships from destroyed livelihoods due to the virus outbreak be mitigated best as possible.
