On September 30, Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, said that the Imperial Citadel and the tombs of King Minh Mang, Tu Duc, and Khai Dinh will reopen, but tourists will only be able to visit the outdoor areas, not the interiors of the palaces.
Visitors to the relic site must wear masks, disinfect, keep their distance, avoid gatherings, declare their health status, and scan the QR code. Visitors from other provinces coming to Hue must complete medical monitoring according to regulations, in which those coming from epidemic areas must have two doses of vaccine and self-isolate for a week.
The leader of the Department of Tourism of Thua Thien-Hue province said that currently, 1/4 of the province's tour guides (equivalent to 200 people) have been vaccinated against Covid-19 and this number will increase in the coming time to proactively catch up with the trend of opening the domestic tourism market.
Earlier in early August, Thua Thien-Hue province announced the closure of relic sites in the area to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. After reopening, the Hue Monuments Conservation Center will reduce entrance fees to the above relic sites by 50% to stimulate tourism.
Currently, Thua Thien-Hue allows restaurants and cafes to open after 10 p.m. every day at 50% capacity. Religious establishments are allowed to reopen, but with no more than 50 people. People are allowed to do outdoor sports. Schools in the province have also opened to welcome students.
Since April 28, Thua Thien-Hue has recorded 821 patients, of which 751 have recovered. The locality has not recorded any infections in the past four days.
