Cameras requested at hotels used as COVID-19 quarantine facilities

Hanoi authorities have ordered 19 local hotels which provide COVID-19 quarantine services to install surveillance cameras for better monitoring.

Under the instruction of the Hanoi Department of Tourism, the hotel cameras will be linked to the surveillance system of the Ministry of Information and Communications.

Earlier, all quarantine sites across the country were asked to install cameras before May 10 to be connected to the Ministry of Information and Communications surveillance system. 

This is aimed to tighten control over COVID-19 prevention regulations at quarantine areas. Some people have absconded from quarantine sites.

According to the Hanoi Department of Tourism, tourism service providers have to upgrade traveller information to report to local authorities in necessary cases.

A hotel in Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi, which is used as a quarantine site was criticised for charging high fees but offering poor quality services, including meals. The hotel admitted they had failed to maintain the quality of their services and agreed to reduce quarantine fees.
