On November 11, at the meeting on the prevention and control of COVID-19, Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Ngo Van Quy asked the functional forces to closely monitor mask wearing at public places, especially the aforementioned ones, VNExpress reported.

“Those who do not wear face masks are not allowed to enter these places. Besides, it is essential to set up mask-selling points at the entrance”, Quy stressed.

The leader also required the functional forces to continue popularizing the compulsory regulation on wearing face masks in crowded places, closely manage quarantine facilities, and people illegally entering the country.
