The northern province of Quang Ninh has decided to suspend many non-essential activities from 12 pm on Wednesday for Covid-19 prevention.

The province is among four localities in Vietnam that have experienced more than 14 days without any new Covid-19 infections. However, amid the country’s ongoing pandemic, Quang Ninh wants to tighten preventive measures.

The temporary closure is applied to beaches, tourist sites; cultural, religious and artistic events; sports and entertainment activities.

Outdoor food and drink stalls are allowed to offer takeaways; while indoor restaurants are permitted to serve customers on the spot, but must have to install shields to ensure safe distance among people. They are also encouraged for delivery services.

Gatherings of more than five people at one place at one time at public places such as parks, squares, streets and beaches and other public places are banned.

People from other localities are requested to show their negative Covid-19 test conducted no more than 72 hours to be permitted to enter the province. People who come to the province from localities that are applying social distancing measures in line with the Government Directive 15 and 16 are sent to local paid quarantine sites for 14 days. Later, they have to continue quarantining themselves at home for seven days.

Drivers from other localities who transport goods to the province are asked to have negative Covid-19 tests within 72 hours.

The quick testing method is conducted at Covid-19 check-points of the province.

The province prioritises vehicles that transport necessities and those serving Covid-19 prevention and control activities. Vehicles carrying workers of companies and factories are also in the priority list.
