VTV.vn - Politburo member and Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee asked for further tightening of COVID-19 prevention measures in the capital city, while chairing a meeting to evaluate the implementation of strict social distancing rules.

Speaking at the event, Dung assessed that, after four days of Hanoi implementing the order, which lasts for 15 days, the implementation is still not balanced, urging for the local authorities and relevant units to strictly comply with the social distancing requirements.

He requested the city from upper to the grassroots levels to unify the social distancing implementation and organise it in a synchronous and serious manner.

Local authorities must comprehensively review and evaluate the epidemic prevention and control work, as well as actively increasing the intensity and density of inspection and supervision.

The city police and localities should arrange enough checkpoints, especially in border areas, to ensure the strict implementation of distancing principles.

At the same time, local authorities must work with each agency, unit and business to ensure strict compliance with the regulations.

As of this morning, the capital city has recorded 18 more COVID-19 infections case, bringing the total up to 2,861 new cases across the nation.

As of July 28 morning, the national tally hit 117,121, including 2,206 imported infections, while 22,946 have recovered from the disease.

Meanwhile, over 258,070 people were vaccinated against COVID-19 on July 27, raising the number of injections to 5,013,175, with 450,836 people having received their full two shots.
