HCM City under pressure to reopen economy: city chief
HCM CITY — HCM City is committed to enforcing vigilant pandemic prevention measures when it reopens the economy after months of strict lockdown measures, said a city chief.
Speaking at a meeting with economic and medical experts last Friday (Sept 17), Nguyễn Văn Nên, secretary of the city Party Committee, said: “The city is under huge pressure to reopen the economy or it will be too late.”
The level of suffering of the economy and people has reached its limit due to prolonged lockdown measures. As such, the city will develop a roadmap for reopening so that it can adapt to and live safety with the virus, he said.
