Organization of large-scale festivals should be refrained. Public codes of conduct at festival venues should be posted publicly for visitors to learn about and follow.Under the instruction of the Hanoi authorities, the organizers of the local festival are tasked with continuing to carry out disease prevention and control measures, monitor and periodically update the pandemic situation, in order to inform the population quickly, complete and accurate on the prevention of the pandemic.
