Under the document signed on Oct 13 by Chairman of the Ha Noi People’s Committee Chu Ngoc Anh, State agencies and businesses will resume operations as normal from October 14 with imposing safety measures themselves.

Dining and lodging work with 50% of capacity while service providers need to be double dosed and customers are required to check with QR Code.

In addition, the 5K (masking – disinfection – distance – no gathering – and medical declaration) message will be maintained together with other precautionary measures.

The document mentioned neither maintaining nor removing 22 checkpoints at the entrance.

So far, about 98% of its adults have got the first jabs, and more than 50% of them double dosed.

Ha Noi is one of few localities having high vaccination rates. Its vaccine coverage is just behind Ho Chi Minh City, the most affected area by COVID-19./.
