Hanoi, Sep 22 (TIWN) Non-essential services, including hair salons and restaurants, across the Vietnamese capital Hanoi have resumed on Tuesday as the city has eased restrictions over Covid-19.

The reopening was based on a circular released by municipal authorities on Monday, which also announced the removal of travel permits for inner-city commuters starting from Tuesday.  According to the circular, coronavirus-related prevention and control measures in the city have now been adjusted in line with the Vietnamese Prime Minister's Directive 15, representing a downgrade from the stringent measures applied since July 24.  Specifically, food and drink establishments are permitted to reopen for takeaway and delivery services only and must close before 9 p.m. every day, and some other daily life services including traditional markets and stores selling stationery and textbooks also reopened.  However, certain tight control measures will remain in place until the capital city completes administering second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for all adults, the circular said.
