Da Nang (VNA) – The central coastal city of Da Nanghas again closed public beaches and temporarily banned indoor dining, while takeawaysand deliveries are encouraged, according to a new order.
The move came after the city reported a new COVID-19outbreak that has spawned 24 infections in a single day.
The order – which asks that restaurants, eateries, cafes,and other eating and drinking venues only serve take-away or online orders –will take effect from 12pm on June 20 until further notice.
Deputy Chairman of Da Nang Le Quang Nam signed the order on lateJune 19, just over a week after the restrictions on these activities werelifted on June 9 following three weeks of no local COVID-19 cases.
The city has traced a total of 530 people in close contactwith COVID-19 patients, said Phan Van Son, deputy head of the Da Nang People’sCommittee Office. He proposed the city to intensify management of vehicles goingthrough checkpoints and request their drivers to fill out health declarationbefore entering the city.
The new outbreak is connected with a 59-year-old man who worksas a guard in Thanh Khe district and all 23 related infections detected on June19 are residents in the district.
The man was said to have been in contact with a confirmedinfection case from HCM City, which is seeing high daily rises in cases andmore restrictions have been introduced to curb the spread.
The ‘triangle area’ formed by the three streets Le Duan, HoangHoa Tham, and Ly Thai To in Thanh Khe district, with about 648 households and2,400 people in total, has been put under strict lockdown while contact tracingand testing are underway.
Local authorities are asked to frequently conductinspections to quickly detect COVID-19 rules violations, and ensure enforcementof safety regulations./.
