Tardy elevator construction at Tan Son Nhat airport blamed on Covid-19
The TCP Vietnam Investment JSC, which operates the parking lot at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in HCMC's Tan Binh District, said elevator construction would start within this month for completion in the next. This came in response to a request from the Department of Transport requiring TCP to complete elevator construction by the end of April after the company had missed the original deadline, set for mid-February on the occasion of the Lunar New Year. TCP said due to the Covid-19 pandemic, equipment ordered from Thailand would not arrive until the month's end.

Ho Chi Minh City targets phenomenal growth
Illustrative photo This figure shows that if the City's economy was to stop for just one day, the loss would be phenomenal, and the consequences felt across society, with the economy taking an even more severe and drastic hit. Pandemic still unrelenting Exactly a year ago, at the beginning of April 2020, more than 97 million Vietnamese people implemented Directive 16 of the Prime Minister. Specifically, social distancing was conducted for fifteen days to fight and contain the Covid-19 pandemic. A week earlier, on 27 March, as per Directive 15, the Government expressed an extremely important anti-pandemic viewpoint which stated that we must be prepared to face economic losses to prevent the pandemic from spreading, as protecting lives was a far more important prerogative of the Government. At that time, the choice between protecting the health of people or saving the economy was a difficult choice for most countries in the world, when the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic … [Read more...] about Ho Chi Minh City targets phenomenal growth
