Strict fines are imposed on people without facemasks in public places in Ho Chi
Minh City, the local authorities said in an urgent direction issued on April 26.
Accordingly, public-awareness-raising communications on COVID-19 and pandemic
prevention and control measures have been ordered, with restrictions in place
for mass gatherings. Those involved in organising illegal entries in the city
also face strict punishments.
The same day, Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Chu Xuan Dung
emphasized a high risk of new outbreaks during and after the upcoming holidays
at a meeting of the municipal Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and
Control on April 26.
He urged the active implementation of pandemic measures that prioritise early
detection, quick quarantine, and effective treatment. Wearing facemask is a must
in public areas and on public transport vehicles; and events that gather a large
number of people are restricted.
The capital will continue its vaccination drive correctly, safely, and
efficiently, according to Dung.
Also on April 26, Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long had a working session
with the Can Tho People’s Committee, asking the Mekong Delta city to soon
complete its national-level COVID-19 treatment hospital and prepare for
complicated developments of the epidemic in the future.
For the work to be done, he assigned the Can Tho General Hospital to collaborate
with localities and the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
Can Tho also needs to establish a 400-bed COVID-19 treatment hospital in Phong
Dien district that is capable of accommodating up to 800 beds when necessary,
the minister underscored.
