Da Nang People’s Committee Chairman Le Trung Chinh asked businesses operating in the Da Nang High-tech Park and IPs across the city to strengthen their practice of compulsory COVID-19 precautions in the face of the complicated developments of the virus resurgence.

Enterprises must refund the cost of COVID-19 testing for all of their employees in accordance with the guidance of the municipal Department of Finance and other competent agencies.

The coming tests aims to early detect those catching COVID-19 in the Da Nang High-tech Park and IPs, especially infected people who show no clinical symptoms, thus implementing precautionary measures in a prompt fashion to curb the virus spread at these at-risk sites.

Till date, 42 COVID-19 cases linked to the Da Nang IP had been registered.
