Under a document issued by the municipal People’s Committee on July 27, the
social distancing will be implemented under Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s Directive
No.16 on urgent measures against COVID-19 within 15 days.
Accordingly, those living in residential areas or working in workshops and
manufacturing plants must ensure safe distance, wear face masks, and implement
disinfection in line with relevant regulations; people must stay at home and
only go out in case of necessity such as buying food and medicine, and in other
emergencies. Stores providing essential services and goods will not be closed.
Any gathering of more than two people in public places and outside
offices, schools and hospitals is prohibited. The Government leader also
requested the strict observance of keeping an interpersonal distance of at least
two meters.
A number of transport activities will be suspended, including activities of
fixed passenger transport routes to and from coach stations in Da Nang city;
taxi and contract vehicle services, tourist cars, pilot electric cars and inland
waterway transport in Da Nang city, inner-city buses and adjacent
inter-provincial bus routes.
Markets, supermarkets, shopping centers, grocery stores, and convenience stores
may sell only food and foodstuffs.
Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Huynh Duc Tho requested the
municipal Department of Health to coordinate with relevant agencies in
monitoring, making lists, taking samples for testing, applying quarantine
measures or appropriate medical interventions for those that had close contacts
with COVID-19 patients, related and high-risk cases.
He also asked for a wide-ranging reviewing and testing using appropriate methods
for each target group; readiness for deploying field hospitals in case of
necessity; and preparation of facilities for quarantining and treatment of
patients tested negative for the novel coronavirus who are being treated at the
Da Nang Hospital.
