Chairman of the city People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong said at a meeting late July 25 that all activities will be suspended, except for emergency medical care or anti-pandemic activities.

The decision was made as the COVID-19 pandemic in the southern metropolis continues to spiral due to lax observance of social distancing measures among a number of residents as well as insufficient monitoring of relevant forces.

Phong called for support and cooperation from local residents to enhance the efficiency of the pandemic fight.

🐽 The city has gone through 55 days of social distancing at different levels, with social distancing measures under Directive No. 16 beginning from July 9./.
