Many drivers undergo quick COVID-19 tests at bus stations across the capital on August 13.
The programme is one part of plans by municipal authorities to control the spread of the pandemic before August 25.
Medical workers from Nam Thang Long Hospital conduct quick COVID-19 tests for drivers at Nuoc Ngam Bus Station.
Drivers are urged to maintain a safe distance from each other at all times in order to curb the potential spread the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Each test costs VND70,000.
These efforts will help drivers to save time and money. In order to avoid overcrowding, drivers must present valid certificates of negative COVID-19 tests at every checkpoint.
Healthcare workers conduct quick tests at bus stations across the capital throughout the entire day.
A driver spends 20 minutes carrying out a quick COVID-19 test.
Mr. Thang, a driver from Hanoi, says he receives his test result back after 20 minutes, thereby helping him to save time before travelling through checkpoints around Hanoi.
