Fining people without face masks in public places
TDM city’s Phu Cuong ward is one of localities in the province to quickly implement measures against Covid-19 pandemic. For more than a week, since knowing information about the complicated development of the pandemic, the ward’s People's Committee has immediately stopped large gatherings, including soya milk and tea selling shops around the 6-way intersection, where hundreds of young people gather until late at night. Besides, the ward has also suspended the operation of vendors on Bach Dang street. Entertainment spots and parks around the central area of the city are no longer crowded…

Phu Cuong ward’s patrol forces inspect, remind, and fine people gathering in big groups and not to weare face masks in public places
Nguyen Van Sang, Chairman of Phu Cuong Ward People's Committee, said: “In order to well realize Covid-19 prevention and control in the new context, the local People's Committee has early established a group propagandizing, mobilizing people to implement measures against the pandemic under the 5K message of the Ministry of Health; propagandized people not to gather in big groups, wear face masks in public places and resolutely handled intentional violations, aiming to prevent the pandemic in the most effective manner. The ward's radio station has often disseminated and mobilized people to best implement measures against the pandemic”.
On the evening of March 8, the ward's patrol team checked main roads and parks, namely Bach Dang, Nguyen Du, Phu Cuong to mobilize and remind people to carry out measures against the pandemic. The team fined 10 cases for not wearing face masks in public places. Each case without wearing a mask is fined at VND2million. Mr. Sang added that Phu Cuong ward is not only a central ward with high concentration of population, but also a place where thousands of small business households operate. Therefore, if the ward neglects in Covid-19 prevention and control, consequences from the pandemic will be very unpredictable. In the coming days, the ward will continue disseminating, especially carry out patrols, reminding small traders to wear face masks while doing business. And people must wear masks when going to public places. The ward continues fining cases that do not comply with the regulation.
On the night of May 4, just after a few hours when the express dispatch of the provincial People's Committee was issued, TDM city strictly implemented the suspension of unnecessary business activities such as bars, karaoke parlors, discos, game rooms. Most big karaoke parlors in Chanh Nghia, Phu Hoa and Phu Loi wards were closed. Bars, games, discos were also closed on the same day.
Quickly setting up inspection and sanction team
Phu Hoa ward, where Covid-19 pandemic occurred a few months ago, has quickly applied measures against the pandemic in the new context. In public places, especially markets such as Binh Diem, Phu Hoa, Vinh Son…, people and small traders excelled at wearing face masks on the afternoon of May 4. At the local grocery stores and supermarkets, staff also reminded customers to disinfect and wear masks when buying goods.
At Dinh market in Phu Loi ward, Phu My market in Phu My ward, the local loudspeaker system has constantly reminded small traders and people to wear masks, take measures against the pandemic. In general, both people and small traders strictly follow the regulation of wearing face masks. At primary and secondary schools, when parents come to pick up their children after school, there is also the good practice in wearing face masks for pupils when they leave school.
Phan Cong Khanh, Secretary of Phu Hoa ward’s Party Committee said that since the last days of April, when the pandemic showed signs of outbreak and spread in many localities, the ward’s anti-pandemic system has been reactivated. On the evening of May 5, the ward’s inter-sectoral patrol force will patrol, remind, and strictly punish people gathering in public places, not wearing face masks. Especially, the ward will also check business establishments in the list of suspension services. If any business establishments do not comply with the regulation, the inspection team will make penalty records for them.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Anh Vu, Chairman of Phu Loi ward’s People's Committee said that after receiving the instruction of the city’s Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control, the ward’s Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control had a meeting to deploy measures against the pandemic, promoting propaganda among officials and people to raise their awareness of pandemic prevention and control while requesting them to make medical declaration after returning from other localities during the last holidays. On May 4, after receiving the instructions of the People's Committee of the province as well as the city on suspending some unnecessary business activities, the ward’s People's Committee printed about 1,000 leaflets on the above content and sent them to business sites. The ward’s People's Committee also established 2 inspection groups to carry out patrols and fine those who do not wear face masks in public places. They have been deployed to check the local parks and markets.
