After the Covid-19 cases were announced in Hanoi over the past few days, many tourist attractions in the city center became deserted.

Since the return of the Covid-19 epidemic, the tourism industry in Hanoi has also been severely affected. Specifically, the famous tourist attractions in the city such as Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam, Hoang Thanh Thang Long, Hoa Lo Prison, Tran Quoc Pagoda … are bleak, a few tourists visit. Take a picture and hurry. The sights of the Temple of Literature and National Tu Giam before the complicated happenings of Covid-19 also have few people and tourists visiting. Most people wear masks when going to crowded places and tourist attractions in the city center. The Temple of Literature previously welcomed thousands of tourists, but since the Covid-19 epidemic returned, this place has become unusually empty and lonely. Inside the Temple of Literature, there is not a single person. Because of the fear of the Covid-19 epidemic, few people visited in Hoang Thanh Thang Long. According to the ticket staff at Hoang Thanh Thang Long, the number of tourists coming here was much less than before the outbreak of Covid-19 started again. Together with the absence of tourists coming, Hoa Lo prison is also not a person. According to an employee at Hoa Lo prison, the number of visitors coming here decreased by about 80% compared to before the outbreak of Covid-19 started again. Here, the staff reminds guests to wear masks and use antiseptic water to ensure safety to prevent epidemics. At Tran Quoc Pagoda, there is also a general absence of tourists to visit. Inside Tran Quoc Pagoda, there are only 1-2 people who come to burn incense to visit. People who come here also obey the wearing of masks.
