Da Nang authorities have prohibited crowded events and ordered non-essential services to shut down after Vietnam confirmed\u00a0two locally-transmitted coronavirus infections\u00a0on the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The municipal People\u2019s Committee has imposed social distancing measures from 1:00 pm on Sunday until further notice, including a ban on gatherings of more than 30 people in public\u00a0and closure of non-essential services.<\/p>\n

The measures were taken after the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control announced two coronavirus cases, whose sources of infection are still unknown, in Da Nang on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

The two patients are in a critical condition.<\/p>\n

These are the first community transmissions in Vietnam in more than three months.<\/p>\n

People in Da Nang are required to wash their hands frequently with soap or sanitizer and wear face masks when outdoors, while maintaining a one-meter distance in social interactions, according to an order by the People\u2019s Commitee.<\/p>\n

A ban is now imposed on gatherings of more than 30 people outside public offices, schools, and hospitals.<\/p>\n

The order also forbids\u00a0festivals, religious rituals, sports competitions, and other crowded events.<\/p>\n

Non-essential services like entertainment venues, spas, karaoke bars, massage parlors, and discos have been ordered to shut down.<\/p>\n

Lotteries, hotels, lodging facilities, restaurants, and retail and wholesale venues can continue operating\u00a0but they have to take preventative measures.<\/p>\n

Inter-province and intra-province transport can go on as long as safety measures are in place.<\/p>\n

Essential political, social, and economic events can be organized with approval from local authorities.<\/p>\n

Da Nang has halted all international flights since one of the two community-transmitted cases, a 57-year-old man, was documented as Vietnam\u2019s 416th patient on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Vietnam has registered 418 COVID-19 cases as of Sunday afternoon, with 365 recoveries and zero deaths.<\/p>\n

The country had gone 99 days without a single local transmission before the two community cases were confirmed.<\/p>\n

It still closes borders to foreigners but foreign experts and skilled workers are allowed to enter the country, subject to government approval and compulsory quarantine on arrival.<\/p>\n

The government has sent planes to other nations to repatriate Vietnamese citizens, also quanrantined upon landing.<\/p>\n

Officials in\u00a0Da Nang\u00a0<\/strong>and its neighbor\u00a0Quang Nam Province<\/strong>\u00a0have detected dozens of Chinese illegally entering Vietnam and staying in local lodging facilities this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
