Nghe An: 4 citizens from epidemic areas discovered on sleeper bus going to the South

Accordingly, the sleeper bus with license plate 37B - 023.00 running on the Quynh Luu - Binh Duong route, driven by Ho Dien Duong, born in 1981 and residing in Quynh Minh commune, was traveling on the Quynh Luong - Quynh Thanh route to National Highway 1A to go to Binh Duong.

However, when arriving at the Covid-19 epidemic control checkpoint in Quynh Thanh commune bordering Quynh Luong, due to suspicion that the vehicle was carrying passengers from the epidemic area, the District Police Working Group coordinated with the force on duty at the checkpoint to request the vehicle to stop.

Upon inspection, the police discovered that the vehicle was carrying 16 passengers, including 4 from Quynh Minh commune: the driver, the assistant driver and 2 passengers; the remaining passengers were from Quynh Nghia and Tien Thuy communes...
