Under the plans, the ceremonies will be held as normal, with spectators making up no more than 50 percent of the facilities' capacities, or in bubbles approved by the steering committee, and the organizing committee of the games. Safety will be ensured for spectators and officials at the events.
The municipal Department of Culture and Sports is the permanent unit for organizing the opening and closing ceremonies of 31st SEA Games.
Meanwhile, Hanoi’s police will coordinate with forces of the Ministry of Public Security in developing a detailed plan to ensure political security, social order and safety before, during and after the events.
