Souvenir shops along the street are all closed now.

Most local people are staying at home. Just a few go out with their face-masks on.

Hai Ba Trung (Trung Sisters) street is empty because the locals are observing social distancing regulations.

Unique features of Hoi An’s streets include yellow-colored walls with purple paper-flowers.

Despite the developments of the pandemic, a vendor has to continue her business.

“I have lived in Hoi An for years, so I know the city in great detail. In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, I still walk the streets every morning to capture all moments of local daily life,” said photographer Do Anh Vu.

To prevent the spread of the COVID-19, locals always wear face-masks in public places, regularly check their body temperatures, keep personal hygiene and wash their hands with soap.
