HANOI: More than 10 million residents of Ho Chi Minh City will be placed under a strict overnight curfew beginning Monday , an unprecedented move to curb infections as Vietnam battles a rapid COVID-19 surge.

Authorities have restricted movement in the once-bustling economic hub for more than two months, and imposed a lockdown in early July. Residents are allowed to leave home only for medical emergencies and food. Almost all public transport links with the city have already been suspended, while travellers originating from the city are required to stay in mandatory quarantine centres for at least two weeks.
