Absolute social distancing in the "red zone"
According to the direction of provincial Party Standing Committee, the most important goal of the province is to soon control the pandemic in order to bring life and production-business activities back to the "new normal" state. To achieve this goal, the "red zone" localities need to strictly implement social distancing in accordance with the direction of the Prime Minister at the Directive No.16 and Telegram No. 1063. The province has also called for all people and workers to comply with regulations on social distancing in the spirit of "state where one is" so that the local functional forces can conveniently deploy professional measures in Covid-19 prevention and control.
