"After receiving the news about the wedding, we went to ask to halt the wedding. At the time, 23 people from the bride's family already went to Hanoi so we asked them to return to Hai Duong immediately," he said.
All people from the groom's family were asked to home isolate. The authorities later disinfected the wedding venue. Quan said he proposed to let all students in Phu Dong Commune, Hanoi, to stay home starting from January 29 and halt all crowded events.
Nguyen Khac Hien, the head of Hanoi Department of Health said they will collaborate with the departments of health in Hai Duong and Quang Ninh to continue tracing contacts, take test samples and quarantine suspected cases. They will review all people who have returned to Hanoi from January 14 from areas with outbreaks to better organise quarantine centres.
