As noted by VietnamPlus reporters, the Hanoi police force has set up multiple COVID-19 checkpoints in many main streets of the capital to check and give a fine to people who go out without justifiable reason.

Forces manning checkpoint said that many people still go out of their homes without justifiable reasons.

There were even cases of people trying to go through a checkpoint and endanger officers and people on duty at the checkpoint as well as other road users with their actions.

Therefore, setting up “hard” checkpoints was right decision.

However, at rush hours in the morning and late afternoon, there were cases of large crowds at some checkpoints, because many people have to wait for their documents to be checked.

The authority advised people to prepare necessary documents in advance, such as their company confirmations, ID cards, and papers… so that it doesn’t take a lot of time when being checked./.
