On September 30th, Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of the Hue Ancient Citadel Relics Conservation Center, announced that the Imperial Citadel and the tombs of Emperors Minh Mang, Tu Duc, and Khai Dinh will reopen, but visitors will only be able to tour the outdoor areas and not the interiors of the palaces.
Visitors to the historical site must wear masks, disinfect, maintain social distancing, avoid gatherings, fill out health declarations, and scan QR codes. Visitors from other provinces to Hue must complete health monitoring as required, including those from epidemic areas receiving two doses of vaccine and self-isolating for one week.
According to the head of the Thua Thien-Hue Provincial Department of Tourism, currently one-quarter of the province's tour guides (equivalent to 200 people) have been vaccinated against Covid-19, and this number will increase in the future to proactively keep up with the trend of reopening the domestic tourism market.
Earlier in August, Thua Thien-Hue province announced the closure of historical sites in the area to implement COVID-19 prevention measures. After reopening, the Hue Ancient Citadel Relics Conservation Center will reduce entrance fees to these sites by 50% to stimulate tourism.
Currently, Thua Thien-Hue province allows restaurants and cafes to open after 10 PM daily at 50% capacity. Religious establishments are allowed to reopen, but with a maximum of 50 people. People are permitted to engage in outdoor sports and exercise. Schools throughout the province have also reopened to welcome students.
From April 28th to the present, Thua Thien-Hue province has recorded 821 patients, of which 751 have recovered. For the past four days, the province has not recorded any new infections.
