A large number of people re-started meeting friends and going shopping. However, they do not forget to wear face masks to protect themselves and the community as well.

Earlier, the COVID-19 outbreak appeared in Wuhan, China and has been spreading to 27 other countries including Viet Nam. The outbreak has disturbed local people. 

Over the past month, Hanoians stayed away from crowds and got fears of disease infections. However, thanks to drastic measures of the central Government and local authorities, people have become calmer to return to their normal lives; go to work; back to school; and meet friends.
