He also asked them to continue strictly implementing Directive No.16/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister of Vietnam, while monitoring, checking and raising public awareness of the implementation of social distancing rules in the area.

In addition, the city should also strictly carry out the Health Ministry’s “5K” regulations – Khau trang (face mask), Khu khuan (disinfection), Khoang cach (distance), Khong tu tap (no large gatherings), and Khai bao y te (health declaration) – in order to soon bring the people’s life back to normal.
