Each locality has to assess its own risk and decide on suitable preventive measures, avoiding major impacts on people’s lives and economic activities.

Four flights will be operated from August 11 to 13 to bring back the stranded people to Hanoi.

This year, around 900,000 high school seniors in Vietnam took the two-day exam amid the Covid-19 resurgence.

Since the novel coronavirus reemerged in Danang on July 25, as many as 398 local infections have been detected in 15 cities and provinces.

Vietnam's domestic economic rebound continued, albeit not yet at the pace of the pre-crisis level, stated the World Bank.

The returnees will be quarantined at a military school in the city's suburb.

The two hospitals specializing in lungs and kidney diseases in Hanoi are treating patients who will be vulnerable if acquiring Covid-19.

In case there are Covid-19 infections in the community, local authorities are tasked to set up the lockdown zone with the scale depending on the number of cases, said Hanoi’s mayor Nguyen Duc Chung.
