(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./.
