Hanoi likely to reopen relics and religious sites on March 8
The relics' management boards need to adhere to the disease prevention guidelines and take full responsibility for managing and supervising all visitors.
From March 8, relic sites in Hanoi may return to receive guests after a period of shutdown to prevent and control the Covid-19 pandemic, Vice Chairman of the municipal People's Committee Chu Xuan Dung said at a meeting on March 4.

Dung stressed that the relics' management boards need to adhere to the disease prevention guidelines and take full responsibility for managing and supervising all visitors.
However, no festivals will be organized, Dung said, adding that religious activities should be held online as well.
All visitors will have their body temperature checked; their hands washed with antiseptic solution and wear face masks before entering the premise.
In addition, information boards displaying Covid-19 prevention guidelines in Vietnamese, English and French are placed at the entrance and around the site.
Previously, from February 16, the relics, temples and religious sites within Hanoi city were closed to avoid public gatherings as the community infections of Covid-19 in the city had become more serious and unpredictable.
Despite the shutdown, all the relics in Hanoi have been disinfected regularly and with the reopening, disease prevention measures must be put in place, Dung emphasized.
