With a couple of districts still having active COVID-19 patients, Hanoi will have more restrictions in place than Ho Chi Minh City, which is allowed to open shops, street businesses, and non-essential services, but the city has decided that the suspension of taxis, ride-hailing services, tourism vehicles, and passenger buses will continue.
The COVID-19 pandemic has reached 210 countries and territories, and more than 183,800 deaths have been reported.
