Da Nang has restricted local restaurants from offerring dine-in services since Friday noon and has closed a local market which was visited by a COVID-19 patient earlier this week.
The dine-in suspension came into effect from 12:00 pm on Friday and will last until further notice, as per an order issued by the municipal People’s Committee on Thursday evening.
That same evening, the Da Nang Department of Industry and Trade ordered the operator of Dong Da Market in Hai Chau District to temporarily close its doors in light of recent information revealing a COVID-19 patient had visited the market several times.
