In order to deal with the problem, the ministry asked the city authorities to strictly follow the official documents issued by prime minister and the ministry about Covid-19 prevention.
Local authorities were asked to suspend all festivals and limit the number of cultural, sports and tourism activities. They were also asked to carry out inspection more frequently and deal with violators.
