Hanoi The Vietnamese government has decided to cancel lockdowns applied for the past year and a half after the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) slumped in the third quarter.
In a directive posted on the government’s website Wednesday, the government requested that all provincial authorities temporarily suspend strict social distancing measures and cancel lockdowns applied 18 months ago to combat Covid-19.
Should it become necessary to apply lockdowns district-wide or on a province-wide scale, provincial authorities will have to ask the government for approval.
Companies and people are now allowed to travel within Vietnam but still need to comply with Covid regulations.
The government has issued three directives outlining Vietnam’s strongest measures for preventing and controlling the coronavirus, allowing provincial authorities to apply lockdowns in localities. (dpa)
