Health information will be used merely for the prevention and control of the epidemic, according to the committee. The Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Health, Vietnam Social Security, and IT agencies will assume responsibility for the implementation. So far, Vietnam has required compulsory medical declaration for all people coming to the country. But the move is not enough when the country has already entered the second phase of the battle against the epidemic, the deputy PM said, noting that this phase is much more severe. Compulsory health declaration is required after a Vietnamese woman ignored the request when she returned to the country from a European trip that included a visit to Lombardy, an epicenter in Italy. After she tested positive with the new coronavirus on March 6, Vietnam found 13 more cases within two days, including 10 on the same Vietnam Airlines flight as her. Vietnam has identified crew members and passengers of the flight and applied quarantine and medical check. Deputy PM Vu Duc Dam predicted that the number of infection cases will continue rising in the days ahead. The northern province of Quang Ninh has become the first locality to require the health declaration. Since March 8, around 300,000 residents in Ha Long city have filled out medical inquiries after four foreign visitors got infected with the …

Entitle Yeu (Love), the concert will mark her 15-year professional singing career after she became a student of the Vocal Faculty at the National Academy of Music . "Love is not only about affection between man and woman, it’s about a positive attitude for every single moment of the life that you are living. I just want all people to know how to appreciate all the small joy and happiness that they have,” the singer explained about the title of her concert during a press conference at the Casa Italia restaurant in Hanoi recently. The singer, who spent three years working in Italy, said many of her friends and family were worried about her decision to hold a concert amid the pandemic. “While some of them tried to convince me to change my mind, some say that I am brave. The passion for singing burns in me. I want to be on the stage to sing to fulfill my dreams. That’s why I will stick with my decision. Only a governmental decision on social distancing and the cancellation of performances can force us to postpone our event,” the 33-year-old said. The soprano said she has nurtured the idea for the concert after her second video music Thank God It’s Friday which was released at the end of 2019. “To nurture the idea to have my first concert I have worked crazy hard to accumulate money for this ‘milestone’,” she said. In the concert, Hien Nguyen will present a repertoire featuring world-famous classical songs and Vietnamese ballads which will be presented in a very fresh way. All the songs have been re-arranged in a semi-classic and jazz style by musician Tuan Nam and his jazz band. “My goal is to present music in a fresher way which can …
