Hanoi, northern Vietnam
Hanoi, with the highest number of coronavirus cases, partly reopens the economy with the operations of non-essential services, restaurants and cafés, but low-cost sidewalk cafés are asked to stay shut. Transport is partly back to normality with the permission of taxi and ride-hailing services but with only 20-30% of the total capacity, Hanoi Times reported.
With a couple of areas like the districts of Thuong Tin and Me Linh still deemed "high-risk" of infection, Hanoi will have more restrictions in place than Ho Chi Minh City. Stringent social distancing measures will still fully be applied to those districts, VNE reported.
