All bars, karaoke parlors, and discotheques in Hanoi must close and residents have to avoid 'non-essential' gatherings from February 1 as measures to contain the spreading novel coronavirus.
The Hanoi People's Committee announced the decision at a meeting on the latest Covid-19 outbreak Sunday afternoon.
All eateries are required to disinfect their space regularly, arrange seats to ensure social distancing and ask all staff to wear masks.
Residents have to limit gathering in crowds when it is not necessary. Those organizing events must strictly ensure preventive measures.
