That means only indoor food and beverage facilities are allowed to operate in the capital starting 6 p.m. The document also called for people to only go out for necessary purposes, while still abiding by coronavirus control measures like wearing masks.

The move was aimed to tighten preventive measures against the COVID-19 after the city saw a new spike in COVID-19 cases.

Leaders of local departments, agencies and district-level People’s Committees are tasked to request Hanoians to go out only for essential purposes, and rigorously observe preventive rules set by the Government and city.

Authorities have already erected Covid-19 checkpoints in areas vulnerable to infections, including industrial parks, markets, malls, parks and other public locations.

Over the past week, Hanoi has observed 18 new local coronavirus cases from multiple clusters, including the Thang Long industrial park in Dong Anh District, which employs thousands of workers./.
