(HBO) - In light of the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has issued Directive No.15/CT-TTg on intensifying COVID-19 prevention and control, ordering cancellation of indoor meetings and events of more than 20 people and banning gatherings of more than 10 people outside offices, schools and hospitals, starting from 0:00 on March 28.
Shops and restaurants on Da Giang Street in Hoa Binh city close doors
in compliance with the Prime Minister’s Directive.
As the capital of the province, Hoa Binh city has a large
number of shops, restaurants, café, karaoke clubs and fitness centres, mostly
located in the communes of Phuong Lam, Dong Tien, Tan Thinh and Huu Nghi. On
the first two days after the directive took effect, most of the shops and
restaurants suspended operation. Da Giang, one of the city’s busiest streets,
has become quieter than ever as all shops have closed, some even did it long
before the directive is issued.
Following the direct, governmental departments and agencies
in the province have cancelled many major events, like Party’s congresses at
grassroots levels, to avoid crowded gatherings. The districts have accelerated
communication campaigns to raise public awareness of recommendations made by
the Health Ministry and other authorities to contain the spread of the
coronavirus.
Meanwhile, the Vietnam Buddhist Shangha (VBS) has requested
its chapters nationwide to cancel all public religious services and events that
gather a large number of people to commemorate the Buddha’s Birthday, slated
for April 8.
The VBS has advised monks and followers to practice rituals
at their monastery and at home as part of the concerted effort to combat the
COVID-19./.
On May 15, the Hoa Binh Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation launched the "Digital Literacy for All” movement. The event was held both in-person and virtually, connecting provincial authorities with district-level Party committees and local communities across communes, wards, and townships.
The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province on May 16 held a conference to honour outstanding intellectuals for their contributions in 2025.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce the provincial Party Committee’s decision about the merger of Hoa Binh Newspaper and the provincial Radio and Television Station, along with the Standing Board’s appointment decisions.
After the historic victory on April 30, 1975, which liberated the South and reunified the country, the whole Vietnam embarked on a new mission — promoting peace and reconstructing the nation with century-defining projects. On the fierce Da River, over 30,000 engineers, sappers, and construction workers battled against rocky mountains and raging floods to achieve a remarkable feat. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at that time, officially began generating electricity, lighting up the North and ushering in a new era of industrialisation.
Muong Dong in Kim Boi district, one of the four major Muong regions in Hoa Binh province, is harnessing its revolutionary legacy and cultural heritage to drive socio-economic transformation.
Throughout April, the joyful atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification spread nationwide. Together with the whole country, residents in Hoa Binh city also expressed their patriotism through meaningful and practical actions.
