Accordingly, the Covid-19 epidemic situation in Vinh city is very complicated, especially with the appearance of a number of F0 cases who are small traders doing business and trading at markets. These cases often go to markets in the area to buy and sell. At the same time, through monitoring the activities at the markets, some markets are still crowded with people coming to buy and sell, making it difficult to ensure social distancing according to regulations, posing a high risk of Covid-19 infection.
