Hanoi City People's Committee Chairman Chu Ngoc Anh at a meeting on May 10 said that beer stalls and temporary markets were highly likely to trigger an outbreak.

After more than 10 days since the resurgence of community transmissions, Hanoi has suspended most non-essential businesses including bars, karaoke parlors, discotheques, game rooms, streetside cafes and tea stalls, cinemas, massage parlors, etc.

Hanoi so far has recorded 146 cases in total, with 93 detected in its now locked-down National Hospital for Tropical Diseases and K Hospital.

Residents have been also asked not to gather in groups of more than 10 people outside of offices, schools, hospitals, and other sites, as well as to strictly implement the 5K message and measures to prevent the pandemic. Heads of all levels, units, and establishments are responsible if any violations occur.
