HN EASES SOCIAL DISTANCING RULE IN MOST OF DISTRICTS
Ha Noi authorities have eased social distancing rule from 0:00 am on April 23, except for Me Linh and Thuong Tin Districts where COVID-19 infection cases have been detected recently and still remain highly risky areas.
The move was made at a meeting of the city’s steering committee for COVID-19 prevention and control, presided over by Nguyen Duc Chung, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee on April 22.
Restaurants are allowed to resume operation but must ensure safe distance and install physical barriers between customers to allay contagion fears.

Chung also assigned Departments of Health and Tourisms to designate hotels for crew members of foreign airlines, namely Daewoo, Pullman, Crowne, Pacific.
