From December 25, Hanoi has 8 orange-zone districts: Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh, Hoang Mai, Long Bien, Nam Tu Liem, Tay Ho, Dong Da, and Hai Ba Trung. Many tourists who are planning for the New Year holidays have had to cancel rooms or change destinations because many places require the isolation of people from orange and red zones (epidemic level 3, 4).

Specifically, Lao Cai province and Hai Phong city require people from orange areas to self-isolate at home for 7 days, and red zones for 7 days of concentrated isolation. Visitors from the green and yellow zones travel normally and self-monitor their health for 7-14 days. Quang Ninh province only welcomes guests from green and yellow areas; concentrated isolation of visitors from the other two regions. Ninh Binh requires visitors from the yellow and orange areas to have a negative result for nCoV within 72 hours.
