Residents who have made medical declarations will display their QR codes, which will be read by cameras at the checkpoints. The information is then transmitted to a computer network and checked by police officers.

Officers at checkpoints will be able to know whether residents are eligible for travel.

The cameras are expected to make it easier to move through the checkpoints and reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections at the areas, a department representative said.

To ensure the supply of food and goods, the People's Committee of HCM City has agreed to extend free COVID-19 testing for shippers until September 15.

Shippers in extremely high-risk (red zone) districts will undergo rapid antigen tests every day, while shippers in the remaining districts of the city will be tested twice a week./.
