From October 22, Binh Duong has implemented temporary measures to adapt safely, flexibly, and effectively control the Covid-19 in the province. Accordingly, socio-economic activities are reopened in the "new normal" state. However, in order to maintain the anti-epidemic good results, restaurants, food services and people need to continue strictly observing disease prevention control measures, especially the "5K" message of the Ministry of Health.
People are exhilarated
In the first days as the province is implementing temporary guidance on safe, flexible adaptation measures, and effective control of the Covid-19, people in the province resumed production and business activities in happiness and confidence.
Le Van Hat, owner of Hat Viet Cafe on Huynh Van Luy street (Phu My ward, Thu Dau Mot city), said that over nearly five months of temporarily closing the shop to control the Covid-19, his family's income was greatly affected. With a monthly rental price of 10 million VND/month and living expenses for the whole family of four members, they spent all their saving during the past five months. Currently, his coffee shop is allowed to reopen, he feels very excited. “In the first days after the re-opening, the number of visitors was also lower than before, I think it would take a week to have the same number of visitors back. We continue to strictly comply with regulations on disease prevention and control at the cafe. When customers come to drink coffee, I always remind them to keep a fixed distance, scan QR code to declare health information", Hat said.

Le Hoang Phong, a regular customer of Hat Viet cafe, said that the reopening of service facilities, cafes, restaurants, markets etc. enable people to choose their favorite food.

Joining hands with the government and service businesses, he seriously follows the "5K" recommendations of the Ministry of Health.
Similarly, Nguyen Thi Thom, the owner of a "Phở" restaurant on 30-4 Street (Phu Hoa Ward, Thu Dau Mot City), said that after several months of temporarily closing to fight the pandemic, the reopening, on-site service is the desire of many restaurants and eateries.

Nguyen Thi Hien, owner of a fruit and vegetable shop in Binh Quoi A quarter (Binh Chuan ward, Thuan An city), said she was also excited when the disease was under control, all social activities have returned to the "new normal". This makes their business more convenient. “For many months of closure, many service establishments lost their income.
