The Da Nang Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control on Monday, September 27, announced that the guidance on the public health measures adapted to the local epidemiologic context will be provided for businesses and residents across the city in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus.

Da Nang will implement risk-based approach to reopening its economy and society. Appropriate measures will be introduced on a nationwide basis and they will be applied synchronically across the country.

The city will provide tailored practices for residents to enter such venues as shopping centres, supermarkets, wet markets, restaurants, eateries, as well as attend cultural and religious activities, funerals, wedding parties, take sightseeing tours, and attend at the workplaces and other social activities.

Compliance with the 5K recommendations of the Ministry of Health, the use of QR codes, and COVID vaccination certificates will be compulsory for crowded venues.

Agencies, organizations, and businesses will be only allowed to reopen with the proper safety measures in place in line with the guidance from the Ministry of Health in order to prevent and mitigate COVID-19 at work. Using a QR code for visitor management will be made mandatory in businesses, shopping centres and services.

People entering and leaving Da Nang must complete a health control form online on the city-developed app and obtain their QR Code, to show it at the control points upon entry and exit.

Strictest penalties will be imposed on arrivals who fail to declare their health status or provide their false and misleading health information.
