The municipal Department of Culture and Sports has asked localities to strengthen preventive measures at relic sites and their reopening has to strictly follow health guidance of relevant agencies and the city.

Historical and cultural sites are asked to build plans and prepare equipment for COVID-19 prevention and control.

Visitors are encouraged to receive at least two shots of COVID-19 vaccine or test negative with the disease within 72 hours using RT-PCR method before going to the sites.

Regarding festivals, only basic rituals will be held and activities that attract crowds will be limited.

However, most temples and pagodas in൩ the capital city reported fewer numbers of visitors compared to the same period of previous years./.
