Hanoi authorities have allowed home quarantine for people having direct contacts with COVID-19 patients in all areas in the city except for four inner districts of Ba Dinh, Hoan Kiem, Dong Da and Hai Ba Trung. These people, called F1, must strictly followed self-isolation regulations set by health authorities.

Their family members must also conduct group testing at least three times: the first day of quarantine, the seventh and fourteenth days.

The local Department of Health has been asked to map out a scenario of 100,000 COVID-19 cases given the increasing infection risk in the upcoming New Year holidays.
