The congestion has returned to HCM City like before the pandemic outbreak.
Since September 30, Ho Chi Minh City has revised Covid-19 preventive measures in the direction of gradually easing social distancing rules, in accordance with the local development of Covid-19 and the Ministry of Health's guidance on risk assessment.
The reopening must be based on a number of principles to ensure the city would fulfil its twin goals of keeping Coronavirus at bay and step-by-step recovering and developing the economy.
