The management board and volunteers will continue raising awareness about Covid-19 prevention with more signs and slogans. Free face masks and hand wash will be given to visitors.

The management board collaborated with the police to regulate the traffic from the parking place to prevent congestion.
The traditional rituals will be conducted at the temples dedicated to Lac Long Quan and Au Co and the Hung Kings. The incense offering ceremonies to the Hung Kings and famous figures will be held in Nghia Linh Mountains.
Incense offering ceremonies will be simultaneously held at all localities in Phu Tho Province.
