Mr Quang said that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on Da Nang’s economy and its residents’ lives. The city has taken strict and drastic measures to tackle COVID-19, and these measures have been effective in helping the city record new cases in single-digit in recent days. He remarked that the city is willing to sacrifice immediate economic benefits to protect people's health and lives.
The Da Nang top leader stated that positive outcomes in the city’s fight against COVID-19 are partly attributed to great efforts of local businesses in providing active support for the city and its residents.
Mr Quang said that the city will reopen its economy and society as soon as possible with proper precautions in place in line with the Vietnamese Prime Minister’s Directive. He, therefore, called on businesses and every one across Da Nang to continue to follow the recommended practices for safety and health, and take action to protect themselves and others after the city reopens.
In October, the city will strive to ensure that all adults aged 18 years and over receive at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, the city government pledges to cover 50% of COVID-19 testing costs for employees in businesses. Moreover, over VND 500 billion from the city’s budget will go to support businesses amid COVID-19 crisis.
In addition, the city will carry out further public administration in an effort to create the most favourable conditions for businesses, as well as drive them transformation with digitalization.
2021 is a challenging year for Da Nang. However, the Da Nang Party Chief expressed his belief that the city’s economy will soon recover from COVID-19 with strong determination from the government’s officials and public involvement and consensus.
