Market in HCM City issues coupons to locals amid COVID-19 fight

(VOVWORLD) - The management board of Binh Thoi market in District 11 of Ho Chi Minh City have begun the process of issuing thousands of coupons to market goers as part of efforts to prevent large-scale gatherings amid the southern city’s ongoing fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since the fourth wave of the COVID-19 outbreak emerged in Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Thoi market has become the first place in the city to apply the market coupon scheme in order to competently manage people entering and leaving the area.
So far roughly 11,000 coupons have been given out to market goers.
Local people must present their identity cards before they receive their market coupons.
A resident presents her coupon before being permitted to enter Binh Thoi market.
Each coupon includes details such as individual information in order to make people easy to trace in the event a positive COVID-19 case is detected.
The information of each person is recorded at the entrance to the market.
A QR code featured on the coupon helps to check each person’s individual information.
Locals must make use of hand sanitizer before being allowed to enter the market.
Residents line up and ensure they maintain a safe distance from others in order to curb the potential spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
A limit of 200 people has been put on the number of people permitted to go inside Binh Thoi market as a way of preventing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the market’s management board.
