Hanoi will organise fireworks to welcome in the Lunar New Year at just one location instead of 30 as scheduled earlier due to Covid-19 outbreak in many localities.

The 15-minute high-altitude firework displays will begin at midnight, February 11. The event will be broadcast live on Vietnam Television.

People will not be able to directly enjoy the firework display.

Tight epidemic preventive measures have been applied to avoid mass gatherings. The Capital Military Command and concerned agencies have been asked to ensure safety and security for the location and adjacent areas.

Hanoi’s authorities previously decided to hold firework displays on Lunar New Year’s Eve at 30 localities across the city.

Many cities and localities in Vietnam, including HCM City, have cancelled their firework displays on Lunar New Year’s Eve for Covid-19 prevention efforts.
