Many young people get used to wearing a mask when taking pictures. Ha Thi Hong Van (student at Van Lang University) said that wearing a mask does not affect anything. Van humorously said: "If I'm confident that I'm pretty, then wear a mask or not, I'm still pretty". (Photo: Vietnamnet)

Right at the entrance, while waiting for the temperature measurement, people were helped to clean their hands by the guards. In addition, the functional forces also tried to limit the number of visitors by shutting the door when the number of people waiting in line reached the limit. (Photo: VN Express)
