The Da Nang government imposed a ban on table service of food and beverage (F&B) establishments across the city, with only takeaway and delivery services allowed, at midday on Friday, May 7, a move to curb the further spread of COVID-19.

As observed by the DA NANG Newspaper correspondents, all these brick-and-mortar F&B venues are strictly complied with these mandatory restrictions.

The local authorities have also advised residents to stick to online transactions as much as they can towards avoiding direct contact with others.
