However, indoor sports centers and sports businesses must strictly comply with the regulations set out in the Safety Activity Evaluation Criteria for Covid-19 prevention and control issued by the relevant state authority; they will be subject to management and supervision by functional agencies and local authorities; and are requested to review and adjust the Safety Activity Evaluation Criteria for Covid-19 prevention and control according to Directive 19/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister of Vietnam.
In addition, Official Dispatch also clearly states that, besides the aforementioned, the following activities must continue to be suspended:
- Receiving new guests at lodging establishments operating under the Homestay or Airbnb model.- Festivals, religious ceremonies, sports competitions, events with large gatherings in public places, stadiums, and unnecessary large events.- Gatherings of over 30 people in public places, outside of offices, schools, hospitals.- Activities and meetings with gatherings of over 30 people.
