He asked localities to strictly prevent, detect and zone off new outbreaks, conduct effective quarantine, provide active treatment, and supply of food and necessities for people in quarantine sites and locked-down areas.

The Prime Minister requested the HCMC municipal People’s Committee to strengthen directions for stronger and more radical measures to cut off infection chains and control outbreaks. Locals are required to avoid large gatherings and follow distancing regulations.

He urged the city to immediately complete necessary work on legal affairs and communications to minimise the movement of people, cooperate with neighboring localities to manage transportation, and maintain the best possible trade activities.

Synchronous measures should be implemented to ensure people’s lives, particularly assistance for poor and disadvantaged people and people with reduced incomes due to the pandemic.
