HÀ NỘI — More than 1,900 preschools and primary schools in Hà Nội reopened on Monday morning after a long closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic since February, as Việt Nam entered 25th day without community transmission case.
Over the weekends, schools sterilised classrooms and outdoor areas. Staff were assigned to measure students’ temperatures, while markers were placed on the ground to ensure children keep a safe distance when queueing to enter the school grounds and classrooms.

Together with Hà Nội, HCM City and the northern province of Tuyên Quang also allowed preschool and primary school students to go back to school from Monday.
Students of secondary schools and high schools in Hà Nội and HCM City returned last week, a week later than most localities in the country since the two cities are deemed to be at higher virus risks. — VNS
