According to the latest announcements, various establishments such as restaurants, cafés, cultural venues, sports activities, fitness centers, yoga studios, billiard halls, and golf courses are allowed to resume operations. Nevertheless, certain facilities deemed non-essential, including bars, pubs, massage parlors, karaoke venues, dance clubs, and gaming centers, will remain closed.

Furthermore, the Quang Ninh People’s Committee has mandated that all reopened service and tourism establishments must strictly adhere to Covid-19 preventive measures. They are also responsible for managing and supervising compliance with these protocols.

In addition, the province is working on promoting safe tourism packages that include SARS-CoV-2 testing services to facilitate health checks for tourists. This initiative aims to ensure both the safety of service providers and a smooth recovery for Quang Ninh's tourism and economic sectors as a whole.
