Although the rain was pouring down across Da Nang on Tuesday morning, September 7, staff at COVID-19 checkpoints across the city tried their best to carry out their roles to tighten controls on people and vehicles travelling on streets. Many vehicles were denied entry into Da Nang for the invalidity of their users’ papers.

Apart from the police and military, youth union members are joining COVID-19 taskforce at checkpoints to help increase controls on people and vehicles entering and leaving the city.
