COVID-19: Vietnam eases social distancing, adapts to “new normal”
| |
Major streets in Hanoi become crowded again after social distancing measures are no longer in place |
As many as 223 COVID-19 patients have fully recovered and returned to their places of residence. The remaining 45 patients are receiving treatment at less than 10 health facilities across the country.
With no new cases detected in the past week, the Prime Minister on April 22 decided to ease nationwide social distancing measures imposed on April 1, except for Me Linh and Thuong Tin district in the capital of Hanoi which remain at high risk of infection.
However, as no coronavirus vaccines have been developed and the second wave of infection is likely to break out at any time, the PM asked localities and people to continue implementing preventive measures to adapt themselves to the “New Normal” practice.
Accordingly, residents are required to don face masks and maintain a safe distance in public places. They are also advised not to go out or gather in large crowds. Those who have a high temperature or suffer from minor illnesses are encouraged to stay at home and consult a doctor.
