Hanoi is shutting down all beer clubs under a decision released on May 11, as part of its efforts to combat the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

Hanoi deployed forces on the morning of February 16 to request the closure of sidewalk eateries, coffee and iced tea stalls in the entire Vietnamese capital to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand has hosted the “World’s Best Street Food: Bangkok 2019” to promote some of the delicacies sold in stalls along Thai streets.

A night out drinking in Vietnam used to mean sipping bia hơi on the sidewalk, a local draft beer. However, a challenge has been thrown down in recent times by craft beer.

Ambitious plans to establish designated areas for street vendors in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have yet to materialise, months after a “sidewalk clean-up” campaign fuelled debates over the future of street vendors.

A light decorating company in Ho Chi Minh City has agreed to pay 1,000 USD compensation to a foreigner who tripped and hit her face on the sidewalk due to the company’s negligence.
