In response to dramatic developments in the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam released a series of administrative orders this month including travel restrictions that resulted in disruptions to a significant number of international outbound flights.
They are definitely not lonely though away from home: Hoi An government officials, accommodation owners, and local residents have shown no hesitation in ensuring that the visitors are provided with bed, board, and any support they need for a comfortable stay. Many visitors saw this as an opportunity to explore Hoi An in all its secrecy and austerity by immersing themselves in the local lifestyle, including grocery shopping, cooking and gardening as the locals do.
