Vietnam’s central city of Da Nang returned to normal today after successfully controlling an outbreak of COVID-19 infections in the city.
The move came after the city’s People’s Committee issued a legal document on Thursday announcing the city had controlled the risk of COVID-19, Vietnam News Agency reported.
Activities that were delayed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the city will be allowed to resume, but there must be a serious commitment and implementation of anti-pandemic measures as regulated.
At the same time, the city will continue to follow the Ministry of Health’s message: “Masks-Disinfectant-Keeping Distance-Avoiding Crowded Places-Health Declarations.”
According to Vietnam News, from September 18, the city allowed some activities and services to return to normal, except for bars, pubs, karaoke joints and massage parlors.
The latest data from the health ministry shows that Da Nang has reported 394 cases of COVID-19, including 360 recoveries and 31 deaths so far.
The city had been placed on lockdown since July 28 after the 416th patient was confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2 on July 25.
Dragon Bridge in Da Nang is the longest bridge in Vietnam, offering a dazzling display of lights, fire, and water that no first-time visitor to Da Nang should miss out on. Measuring at 666 metres in length, it is located in Da Nang City and constructed in the shape of a golden dragon.
In a related movement, the Steering Committee on COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control in Thua Thien-Hue Province said as of today, the province had removed all measures to limit people and vehicles traveling from pandemic-hit areas to the province.
Specifically, the province has closed quarantine stations at Huế Train Station, Phu Loc District and Nam Dong.
Vietnamese Prime Minister issued a message on Thursday to ask relevant ministries, sectors and localities not to neglect measures to prevent and control the pandemic.
It aimed to firmly maintain the achievements of pandemic prevention, creating a basis for promoting an economic recovery and development, he said.
