Currently, in Vinh City, there are 28 large and small traditional markets, with thousands of people coming to shop at the end of the year. The fact that people do not strictly comply with the regulations on wearing masks in public places has made epidemic prevention difficult. The risk of an outbreak is very high if the implementation of epidemic prevention regulations is not tightened. Photo: TL

Mr. Nguyen Huu Dac, Head of Vinh Market Management Board, said: In the last days of the year, the number of people visiting Vinh Market to shop for Tet is very large. Vinh Market Management Board has broadcast information on epidemic prevention and regulations on wearing masks in public places on the loudspeaker system. Currently, Vinh Market Management Board has 22 security guards, ensuring maximum staff on duty, and even has other forces participating in ensuring security and order, but because there are many entrances to the market, it is not possible to set up checkpoints to require people to wear masks before entering the market, but mainly requires the awareness of each person.
