(Baonghean.vn) - After more than a week of social distancing to prevent and fight the Covid-19 epidemic according to Directive 16 of the Prime Minister, train stations and bus stations in Vinh city are completely deserted. But people have started to move around more on the streets.

In response to the Prime Minister's Directive 16 on urgent measures to prevent and combat the Covid-19 epidemic, public transport has temporarily stopped operating. At Vinh Bus Station, dozens of vehicles lined up in rows, sitting still. Photo taken at 3:10 p.m., April 8. Photo: Duc Anh

Thời gian này, ga Vinh mỗi ngày có 2 chuyến tàu vào, ra vào thời điểm đêm khuya nên ban ngày cũng rất vắng lặng.

During this time, Vinh Station has 2 trains arriving and departing every day, late at night, so it is very quiet during the day. Photo taken at 3:25 p.m. on April 8. Photo: Duc Anh

In contrast to the scene at the bus station and train station, the streets of Vinh city have started to become bustling again, meaning that the number of people and vehicles is more crowded than the first days of implementing Directive 16 of the Prime Minister.

At the Vinh market intersection (intersection of Tran Phu, Phan Dinh Phung, Quang Trung and Cao Thang streets), traffic density is also quite dense. This proves that people have begun to be subjective in social distancing and preventing the Covid-19 epidemic. Photo taken at 3:47 p.m. - 3:55 p.m. on April 8. Photo: Duc Anh

The fact that people are starting to go out more, while there is still 1 week left until the end of the social isolation period, will certainly affect the effectiveness of preventing and controlling the spread of Covid-19. Because the denser the population, the more difficult it will be to maintain a minimum safe distance. Therefore, people need to raise awareness of complying with Directive 16 and not go out when not necessary. At the same time, authorities at all levels and functional departments and branches need to step up propaganda and remind people to seriously implement the spirit of Directive 16 of the Prime Minister.
