The Secretary asked local residents to remain vigilant without being overly-concerned, as the situation in the city is still under control.

It initially applies lockdowns and social distancing measures in particular areas, he said, stressing that there is no plan for social distancing in the entire city.

Dung asked key officials, especially heads of Party Committees and local administrations, not to leave their locality and to be on duty around-the-clock to focus on pandemic prevention and control, which is the number one task now.

The city has decided to raise its pandemic prevention and fighting efforts to a higher level, with the issuance of an order to temporarily halt a number of service businesses such as restaurants and catering services (except for take-away services), restrict mass gatherings, close hair salons and entertainment activities, and ban physical exercise in parks and public places.

He called on officials, Party members, military, and local people to stay united and uphold their determination and responsibility to control and fight COVID-19./.
