| In order to propagate and mobilize people to understand and effectively implement epidemic prevention measures, organizations and departments in some localities have coordinated and promptly organized meaningful propaganda activities. Photo: Huy Thu |

 |
| Many people go to the market wearing masks under their jaws, only when someone reminds them to do so will they put the mask up to cover their mouths, forgetting to cover their noses. According to people, wearing masks is cumbersome, uncomfortable, and difficult to communicate when buying and selling, so they have to put them away, or just hang them under their jaws for the sake of it.

| Not only do people wear masks incorrectly or even not wear masks, but many people also show intimate gestures in the market, not properly keeping a certain distance in crowded places. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Mr. Nguyen Van Chien - Vice Chairman of Thanh Chuong District People's Committee said: Although the district and departments and branches have actively promoted and reminded people to wear masks, people in some markets are still complacent. The district is continuing to direct market management boards and commune People's Committees to strengthen inspection and supervision of people entering the market to wear masks. If they do not comply, administrative penalties will be imposed. (In the photo, people buying roasted duck at Cho Moi market are wearing masks as well as not wearing masks).

| At Cong Thanh market, Yen Thanh district, there are still sellers who do not wear masks. (Photo taken at 4:00 p.m. on May 7). Mr. Nguyen Van Dong - Chairman of Cong Thanh Commune People's Committee added: The current difficulty is that Cong Thanh market does not have a Market Management Board.
