Dak Nong province on Sunday halted all festivals, religious and sports activities and other community activities. The province also closed "non-essential" services like amusement parks, beauty parlors, karaoke, spas and bars. Gatherings of 30 plus people are banned and people are asked to keep a physical distancing of at least one meter and wear masks at public places. People returning from COVID-19 hotspots are closely monitored and tested.
