Da Nang has begun to reopen food and drink stores since the midnight on 16 April, but they are only allowed to offer their takeaway and delivery services. These stores have been allowed to reopen after 2 weeks of strict social distancing measures being put into place in the city to stem the spread of coronavirus.

After reopening their stores, all their owners strictly follow the city’s new measures, including ensuring the food safety and hygiene, wearing face masks, requiring customers maintain a safe distance from others whilst queueing, and encouraging customers to use contactless payment where possible.
