Bac Giang People's Committee said they were preparing to resume the operation of Dinh Tram, Quang Chau, Song Khe-Noi Hoang and Van Trung industrial parks from May 28. The industrial parks must strictly follow all requirements such as production scale and organisation plans and will be inspected before any operations are resumed.

In the first phase, firms can only use workers that have tested negative at least twice and been approved by the local authorities from May 9. They must be tested negative one day before returning to work. Firms must arrange a separate living area or dormitory for the employees who were asked to limit direct contact with other people outside of their homes and workplaces.

Firms at industrial parks will transport employees to their new living spaces and test all of them at least three days before resuming operation. Any newly-employed workers must fill in medical declaration forms and be tested twice before starting work.

Firms must also have Covid-19 prevention teams to respond to emergencies and a quarantine room for suspected cases.
