Eight International flights carrying about 1,880 passengers landed in the Kingdom late last night. Cambodia Air communications and public relations director Khek Norinda said earlier yesterday four flights would land in Phnom Penh and one in Sihanoukville.

 

“These flight operations have been maintained despite the COVID-19 situation, so it is not a restart of activities at the airports,” he said. “We are expecting around 1,800 passengers.” “We don’t have the figures about three other international flights [from Seoul, Manila and Beijing] which will land later tonight,” he added.

 

Mr Khek stressed that the number of passengers arriving on Wednesday is in reality a 93 percent drop compared to the same day last year. Sao Wathana, director of the Phnom Penh International Airport, said yesterday the flights would come in from China, South Korea and the Philippines.

How many passengers had high temperatures? Like all the Thai flight seem to have.....

Some Thai nationals returning were reported as having 'high fevers' not high temperatures which is actually more likely!

Probably none (quote from link):-

 

All foreigners are also required to have health certificates issued no longer than 72 hours before flying to confirm that they are free of coronavirus and they need a minimum of $50,000 in health insurance to enter the Kingdom.

Did you read the story?

Yes. It says:

When passengers arrive, they will be brought to the quarantine centre within 24 hours to take their samples for testing. If the result comes out negative for COVID-19, we will allow them to self-quarantine at their respective homes,” Mr Aun added.

Although the article says people will be allowed to self-quarantine at home if they test negative on arrival my understanding is that if even one person on a flight tests positive all the passengers on that flight must go into state supervised quarantine. So far every flight I've read about has had at least one case...though maybe they only report on those.
