Saigon cancels firework shows on Lunar New Year’s Eve

Authorities in HCMC decided to suspend firework shows on Lunar New Year’s Eve, a long-standing tradition, to limit crowds amid the latest Covid-19 outbreak.

The move came after HCMC on Saturday recorded a suspected community transmission, being a 28-year-old man working at Tan Son Nhat International Airport. He is now in quarantine and being treated at the Cu Chi field hospital.
 
His younger brother living in the same house in neighboring Binh Duong Province also tested positive for novel coronavirus. The two cases have yet to be confirmed by the health ministry.
