VOV.VN - As the nation’s largest metropolitan area, urban life in Ho Chi Minh City has ground to a halt following local authorities imposing social distancing measures due to a sharp recent rise in novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases.

The municipal administration applies a range of social distancing measures starting from May 31 as part of efforts to slow the spread of the pandemic among the wider community. Most notably, Go Vap district and Thanh Loc Ward in District 12 is placed into lockdown as part of the COVID-19 fight.
