In Vietnam, in addition to disposable masks, there are also a variety of products such as floral motif masks, plaid masks, and fabric masks with character drawings.

 

In Hanoi, you can buy masks at supermarkets, stalls ...

The market price of the mask is usually:

 

- 5,000 VND (25 Yen) to 50,000 VND (235 Yen) with the fabric mask

 

- VND 30,000 (¥ 140) to VND 80,000 (¥ 360) with 50 pieces of disposable paper masks

However, not many people wear masks when walking.

Only about 60% of them seem to be wearing a mask?

However, in Hanoi city, in the past 3 months there has been no case of covid-19, so it can be seen that people are gradually not wearing masks anymore.

 

Domestic traffic is now back to normal operation.

Therefore, I hope that in the coming time, the city will not be affected by pademic diseases.

Currently in Hanoi, although some people do not wear masks when going out on the street, the mandatory regulation of wearing masks in public areas has come into effect from September 28, 2020.
