Ha Nam province imposes lockdown on Dao Ly commune

Under dispatch 01/CD-UBND of the provincial People’s Committee,
the lockdown started at 13:00 May 1, while two other communes – Bac Ly and Chan
Ly – began to implement social distancing measures also at the same time.

Restaurants, hair and beauty salons across the district are
ordered to close, as are facilities providing cultural and sport services until
further notice.

The district authorities are required to coordinate with the
provincial health department, police and military command to quickly trace all people
who had made contact with COVID-19 patients and isolate infections.

The Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee also
instructed all departments, agencies, organisations and local administrations in
the province to tighten the enforcement of pandemic prevention measures,
including the suspension of events gathering large numbers of people such as
weddings, parties and meetings.

The centrally-run hospital of Bach Mai has completed a temporary
hospital for COVID-19 treatment in Ha Nam within only 24 hours, which will
treat patients in severe conditions.
