Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The People’s Committee of Hanoi has allowed an additional 12 local hotels to be utilised as quarantined facilities for people who have had direct contact with COVID-19 patients.

The people, who voluntarily chose to be quarantined at the hotels instead of normal quarantined areas, must cover the expense themselves.

The hotels are Hoa Binh Hotel, Muong Thanh Hanoi Grand Centre, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Silk Path Hanoi, Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi, Hilton Hanoi Opera, Binh An 1 Hotel, Binh An 2 Hotel, Binh An 3 Hotel, Grand Vista Hanoi, Lake Side Hotel and Muong Thanh Grand Xa La Hotel.

The municipal People's Committee has assigned the People’s Committees of Hoan Kiem district, Ha Dong district, Ba Dinh district and Soc Son district to coordinate with the city's departments of health and culture to manage the people who have chosen to be quarantined at the hotels.

The additional hotels were put forward in a proposal on November 15. The People's Committee previously assigned 23 local hotels, with a total of 2,640 rooms and 4,253 beds, as quarantine facilities for people who have been in contact with COVID-19 patients in the city.

The 23 hotels have so far hosted about 106,237 people since June 1, 2020./.
