“The virus from these two patients was not imported from South America”, the ministry said in a weekend statement.
The Zika virus was detected in Brazil previous year and has since spread across the Americas.
Health Ministry spokesman Ly Sovann said Cambodia has not seen any cases of the mosquito-borne virus since 2010, but with dozens of cases in Thailand and Singapore this year, the ministry is concerned about the potential spread of the disease.

“As the cases of Zika in Singapore have been mild so far, confirmed cases will no longer need to be hospitalised unless medically indicated”.
The Zika count is on the rise in Singapore and latest report reveals the number on record is 215.
With more confirmed Zika cases in Singapore and Malaysia, Lam told reporters “there is quite a strong possibility of imported [Zika cases in Macau]”.
In November 2015, Brazil declared a national public health emergency as cases of suspected microcephaly continued to rise.
Whether or not the mosquito-borne virus would take off in any of these countries would be determined largely by a crucial unknown factor: Do the people there have immunity?
The Philippines reported its first case of Zika in 2012, that of a teenage boy in Cebu island in the central Philippines.
Another mystery is whether immunity to the African Zika strain would offer protection against the Asian strain now in circulation.
According to scientists writing in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, more than two billion people could be at risk from Zika virus outbreaks in parts of Africa and Asia.
The Zika virus has been linked to birth defects like microcephaly, and MOH added that pregnant women will remain a special group to whom it will make Zika tests more affordable and accessible.
