Only a maximum half of usual inter-provincial coach services are permitted to run in medium-risk localities. However services are allowed to return to normal as before the pandemic for low-risk localities.
The railway sector has also improved train services . Between April 29 and May 3, five trains are allowed to travel on Hanoi-HCM City route.
