Da Nang will implement risk-based approach to reopening its economy and society. Appropriate measures will be introduced on a nationwide basis and they will be applied synchronically across the country.

The city will provide tailored practices for residents to enter such venues as shopping centres, supermarkets, wet markets, restaurants, eateries, as well as attend cultural and religious activities, funerals, wedding parties, take sightseeing tours, and attend at the workplaces and other social activities.

Using a QR code for visitor management will be made mandatory in businesses, shopping centres and services.

People entering and leaving Da Nang must complete a health control form online on the city-developed app and obtain their QR Code, to show it at the control points upon entry and exit.

 Strictest penalties will be imposed on arrivals who fail to declare their health status or provide their false and misleading health information.
