REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa/File photo HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam needs to strictly enforce restrictions on all air, sea and land movements within the country to curb the spread of coronavirus as the risk of community infection is "very high," the Southeast Asian country's prime minister said on Monday. Vietnam will continue its measures to quarantine people "however much it costs", Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said in a statement on the government website. Vietnam's coronavirus cases rose to 118 on Monday, the health ministry said. There have been no reported deaths. Schools have stayed shut nationwide since Lunar New Year. Authorities have ordered the closure of cinemas, clubs and bars, massage parlours, karaoke lounges and online game centres in urban areas until the end of March. -- © Copyright Reuters 2020-03-23 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
