Hanoi’s authorities have allowed dine-in food and beverage venues to remain open after 9pm. A Starbucks Coffee shop.

The venues still need to observe COVID-19 preventive measures set out by health authorities.

The move is part of the capital city’s plans for safe and flexible adaptation and effective control of COVID-19 and reopening tourism. It was signed into effect by Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Chu Ngoc Anh on March 15.

The city also requested districts and townships not to drop the guard against coronavirus and continue strictly enforcing COVID-19 rules, including the 5K message.

The restrictions were dropped as the capital city continues to lead the country in daily new COVID-19 cases, but with an extremely high vaccination rate. Over 99.6 percent of the population aged 12 years and older have been fully vaccinated, while 80 percent of adults have received booster shots.

Deaths and hospitalisations from the virus are also under control.

Hanoi also wants localities to complete a booster dose campaign for adults within March 2022, while attention will be focused on high-risk groups such as the elderly and pregnant women.

The city’s leaders also urge people who have developed suspect symptoms (fever, coughing, breathing difficulties, loss of taste and smell, etc.) not to participate in public activities. The number of attendees to busy events like weddings and funerals must remain limited.

The People’s Committee enables schools to go ahead with in-person learning plans while the highest safety must be guaranteed for both students and teachers.

They must also regularly update information and regulations on COVID-19 in schools issued by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education and Training and guiding documents of the city, as well as closely follow the developments of the virus outbreak and promptly deal with any outbreaks.

The national government has required the administration of Khanh Hoa Province in south-central Vietnam not to join hands with foreign partners, including overseas Vietnamese people, during the execution of a social housing project in Cam Nghia Ward, Cam Ranh City.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha made the requirement following a proposal by the Ministry of National Defense.

The Khanh Hoa authorities have green-lighted Cam Ranh Salt JSC to convert over 87.6 hectares of salt fields for a social and commercial housing project.

The fields are part of the 124 hectares of land that Cam Ranh Salt JSC has leased from the Khanh Hoa authorities. The land lease contract will expire in August 2026.

Of the total area, the housing area will measure 30.1 hectares with 20 percent being used for the development of commercial houses and villas for sale.

The remaining 24.5 hectares will accommodate social houses.

In addition, the company can use over 3.33 hectares to make room for trade and service activities.

The project is expected to accommodate some 20,250 people and requires an estimated investment of nearly VND3.8 trillion (US$156.6 million).

Deputy PM Ha concluded that the project was subject to the government’s decree on the management of people and vehicles in maritime border areas of Vietnam and the prime minister’s decision on ensuring the security and safety of the Cam Ranh military base.

In a document on comments on the project sent to the Khanh Hoa People’s Committee in September last year, the Ministry of National Defense required the province to coordinate with military units in the province to strictly comply with the 2003 Law on National Borders and regulations on the management of people and vehicles within the country’s waters and the protection of Vietnam’s airspace.

Hanoi – President Vo Van Thuong praised tireless efforts made by members of the Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund and the “For the Beloved Hoang Sa and Truong Sa” Club to maintain operations for many years when he meet with their representatives in Hanoi on September 26.

Former Vice President Truong My Hoa, Chairwoman of the Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund, and 100 delegates who are members of the fund and the club, donors, and outstanding students who were presented with the Vu A Dinh scholarships attended the event.

President Thuong expressed his joy at the practical and meaningful results of the fund and the club over the years, saying that the organisations’ practical programmes and projects have shown responsibility for the country and beloved students.

He underlined the need to continue maintaining the activities of the Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund, towards providing practical support to more ethnic minority students in the future.

Delegates affirmed that the fund and club models demonstrate the spirit of solidarity and support of people from all walks of life towards ethnic minority students, and affirm Vietnam’s sovereignty over the seas and islands.

They hoped assistance for ethnic minority students will be deployed more comprehensively, saying that this will be an important foundation for students in ethnic minority areas to develop and contribute their youth and enthusiasm to building their homeland and the country.

Established in 1999, the fund was named after Vu A Dinh (1934-1949), an ethnic Mong man in the northern mountainous province of Dien Bien. After 25 years of operations, the fund has provided scholarships to outstanding students living ethnic minority areas nationwide. Many of them have participated in training projects organised by the fund, contributing to improving the qualifications of high-quality human resources for the country.

Projects implemented by the fund with the support from agencies, sectors, donors, and businesses, have contributed to developing infrastructure in ethnic minority areas, and expanding programmes and projects for the community, society, and country.

Meanwhile, the “For the Beloved Hoang Sa and Truong Sa” Club has deployed practical activities, connecting people across the country and collecting donations for building and protecting Hoang Sa and Truong Sa of Vietnam./.
