Hai Duong scheduled to lift social distancing order on April 1
VOV.VN - The northern province of Hai Duong, the nation’s largest hotspot in the latest COVID-19 outbreak, has decided to lift social distancing measures from midnight on April 1.
Moving forward, the province will continue to implement several preventive measures in a bid to fully adapt to the “new normal” now that the pandemic has been brought under control in the locality.
This comes after no new COVID-19 cases have been detected in the province over the past 30 days, with only 41 patients currently receiving treatment at centralised quarantine facilities.
The results of all drivers, students, and those who took a COVID-19 test throughout the province have come back negative, thereby allowing 95% of enterprises and manufacturing facilities in the province to successfully resume business activities. Upon reopening, firms have been requested to follow COVID-19 prevention measures.
Furthermore, students in the province will also return to school on April 1, with Pham Xuan Thang, secretary of the provincial Party Committee, asking local schools to make preparations for the resumption of learning and to ensure the safety of all students.
Due to the possibility that the outbreak may return, the entire local political system will not be lowering its guard and will remain on high alert for any fight ahead, he added.
