On the evening of June 17, a screenshot of the report type of “Elementary and Middle School Students Online Lessons” included in the “Internet Crime Reporting Website” went viral on social media, although it was later clarified that the report type was as early as August 2020 It has appeared, but the spread of the news is enough to show the nerves of the entire education and training industry at this moment.

Prior to this, foreign media reported that China will introduce more severe than expected measures against the US$120 billion after-school training industry, including a trial ban on holiday training and restrictions on advertising. The new regulations may reduce the annual revenue of tuition companies by 70%-80%. On June 15, the Ministry of Education also established an off-campus education and training supervision department to supervise related activities.

Under high pressure, online education stocks have been declining, and many leading institutions have been reported to be layoffs on a large scale. Some investors even said that it is true that the management collectively closed the K12 education track.

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, iQiyi, who has been losing money for many years, chose to enter the game. Recently, some media reported that iQiyi launched an app called “iQiyi Education” in the Apple App Store. However, Radar Finance did not find the app when searching on June 18th. It is reported that iQiyi began to get involved in the education field in 2012, and in January this year it also incubated ubiquitous education.

CY, a veteran of more than ten years in the education industry who has worked in a leading education institution and also has entrepreneurial experience, told Leda Finance that the capital market is usually the most sensitive. The recent sharp drop in online education stocks proves the news. There is a certain possibility of implementation. But the decline will not be endless. “It may be beneficial in the past half a month to a month. It is speculated that the direction is quality education, and it depends on who moves fast.”

Is iQiyi going to become Taobao in education?

Public information shows that iQiyi has been in the education field for a long time, but progress is relatively slow.

In 2012, iQiyi and Beijing No. 4 Online School jointly created the “2012 College Entrance Examination Channel” to cut into the educational track.

In August 2016, iQiyi Ai Classroom mobile terminal and PC terminal were fully launched; at the end of the year, the company held the first “Smart·Creation·Future” annual education ceremony at Tsinghua University. According to reports at that time, the iQiyi Education Channel The broadcast traffic has reached 35 million, and the content covers various fields such as early childhood education, primary and secondary education, foreign language training, and vocational education.

At the meeting, iQiyi Education also reached long-term strategic cooperation with well-known brands such as New Oriental Online and Xingshuai Education. Since then, this educational festival has become an annual routine of iQiyi.

In 2017, online education ushered in the trend. According to IT Orange data, as of October 16, the number of open financings in the field of online education exceeded 150, and the cumulative amount of financing exceeded 8 billion yuan. So at the second iQiyi Education Ceremony at the end of the year, Geng Danhao, senior vice president of iQiyi, said bluntly that there are a large number of Internet users who are willing to pay and they are willing to pay to acquire knowledge. In 2018, iQiyi launched the paid knowledge product “iQiyi Knowledge”. Lu Yujie, editor-in-chief of the iQiyi Education Center, said that the main change in the education business in 2018 is that it has a dedicated technology and product team. On January 27, 2021, iQiyi announced the integration of iQiyi Knowledge, iQiyi Education, TV Fruit, and Meng Zhuangyuan to form “Ubiquitous Education”. The founder of Meng Zhuangyuan Zhou Liuqing will serve as the CEO of Ubiquitous Education. Independently operated outside iQiyi. Gong Yu, founder and CEO of iQiyi, said that ubiquitous education itself does not produce content, but rather distributes and operates educational content. The ubiquitous model can be understood as the logic of “Taobao”. In Gong Yu’s view, ubiquitous education is an innovative application of commercial forms in the education field. At present, the major online and offline educational institutions in China are basically iQiyi advertisers, and the company has hundreds of millions of user groups. Based on this, Ubiquitous can achieve effective control of customer acquisition costs. In this regard, some online education practitioners pointed out, “Even if the platform can connect to many famous educational institutions, consumers recognize the product in education. If he recognizes the teaching of an institution on the platform, then he will go Directly find this institution to take classes, at this time it has nothing to do with the platform. From this perspective, it is difficult to have a high-strength connection between users and the platform.” After nearly five months, it is reported that the iQiyi Education App has been launched on the Apple App Store, which has set up a classmate system, a star cluster of stars, and divided the courses into three modes: live classroom, video classroom and self-study room. , Mainly for preschool children and elementary school students. However, on June 18, a Radar Finance search found that iQiyi Education could no longer be found in the Apple App Store, only iQiyi knowledge could be found. In addition, the official account of iQiyi Education has been launched on Weibo, Douyin and other platforms. According to this, Radar Finance called iQiyi’s customer service, and the other party said that he did not know the relevant matters. “If a new App is launched, in general, in response to questions raised by users, the customer service will also receive relevant notifications, but I have not received any notifications about the iQiyi Education App.” Dilemma in commercialization Why, as a long-term video company, iQiyi wants to explore the educational track? In the eyes of industry insiders, this may be an attempt by the company to realize commercialization. Radar Finance noted that since 2016, iQiyi’s revenue growth rate has continued to show a downward trend. From 2016 to 2020, the company’s revenue growth rate was 107.21%, 60.25%, 39.19%, 14.19% and 2.86%, respectively. Although iQiyi’s 2021 first quarter report shows that the company achieved 7.968 billion yuan in revenue during the reporting period, an increase of 4% year-on-year, but according to the company’s second quarter 2021 performance guidelines, it is expected that revenue in the second quarter of 2021 will be 7.65 billion yuan. , A year-on-year decrease of 3%. While revenue is gradually encountering bottlenecks, iQiyi has lost 38.245 billion yuan since 2015. In order to monetize, iQiyi has thought of many ways, the most direct one is to increase the price by members. In 2016, iQiyi’s ARPU (average revenue per user) was 125 yuan, and it increased to 135 yuan in 2019, with an annual compound growth rate of less than 3%. In the same period, Netflix on the other side of the ocean was 7.9%. In November 2020, iQiyi announced that the gold VIP membership fee will be increased for the first time in nine years. The monthly subscription price will be increased from 15 yuan to 19 yuan, and the monthly card price will be increased from 19.8 yuan to 25 yuan. The feedback of this move is obvious. In 2020, iQiyi’s ARPU is 162 yuan, an increase of 20% year-on-year, but the cost is a decline in the number of members. At the end of 2020, the total number of iQiyi subscription members was 101.7 million, 5 million fewer than at the end of 2019, and more than 17 million fewer than at the beginning of 2020. Although the number of members rose to 105.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 from the previous quarter, this figure is still less than the 107 million at the end of 2019. Industry insiders believe that the increase in the number of iQiyi subscription members in the first quarter of 2021 is due to the hot broadcast of the hit “Zuo Son”. If there is no corresponding hot sale in the future, the number of members will hardly continue to rise. Even Gong Yu himself admitted in a letter to shareholders that, with the reduction of copyright content obtained from traditional channels, “the current quantity and quality of self-made content cannot meet the needs.” In addition to membership fees, iQiyi has also tested other tracks. Searching for the name of iQiyi in the app store, you can find many apps that are similar to the above-mentioned “iqiyi education”, such as iqiyi bata, iqiyi novels, iqiyi ticketing, iqiyi VR , IQiyi Security Shield, iQiyi Sports, etc., as well as some apps such as a lot of videos, instant creation, Qixiu, Youbing, etc., even if iQiyi’s name is not listed, they are also affiliated to the company. Gong Yu once said that iQiyi will establish an ecosystem that will link literature, comics, light novels, online games, shopping malls and other sectors through IP to form a situation where one fish eats more. But as far as the current situation is concerned, in Gong Yu’s ecological matrix, except for the long video deity of iqiyi, it is difficult to have bright projects that rank among the heads, even if it is to complete the task of reaching the waist, it will be more difficult. Qimai data shows that affected by the start of the European Cup, iQiyi Sports ranks 8th in the sports App list of the iOS system. This is also the best product of iQiyi in their respective categories except for video playback software; in addition, IQiyi Novels rank 59 in the book list; iQiyi Instant is ranked 62 in the entertainment list; iQiyi Knowledge is ranked 344 in the education list; iQiyi Creative is ranked 825 in the photography and video app list… … Obviously, if iQiyi Education is successfully launched, it will also become a member of the aforementioned matrix. However, in the eyes of netizens, Gong Yu’s move in the education industry is a bit slow. Online education hits the bottom If the rectification and naming of the online education industry at the beginning of the year were just shackles, then a series of news that came out in recent days is close to the death penalty for the education and training industry. There are more and more signs that the “three noes” policy, which was spread online in late May, is developing in the direction of becoming true. On May 24, there was news that Beijing’s Haidian Education Commission was about to introduce a “double reduction” policy, accompanied by the “three nos”: classes are not allowed during holidays, training institutions (subjects & educational quality) are not allowed to be listed, Do not allow advertising. At that time, the Haidian District Board of Education also issued an article to refute the rumors, saying that the news that “educational institutions are not allowed to start classes in summer” was not true. The Haidian District Education Commission’s rumors are very rigorous, but from the perspective of market capital trends and offline specific conditions, the above-mentioned rumors are not unfounded. In 2020, the total financing of China’s online education sector exceeded 53.93 billion yuan, exceeding the total financing of the industry in the previous ten years. Well-known investment institutions such as Tencent, Sequoia Capital, IDG, Hillhouse, Alibaba, and Softbank were all attracted to the market. But now online education has been reduced to “abandoned son” in the capital circle. Some investors who have been paying attention to the education track for a long time said that no one in their investment group discusses education projects, and some investors in the education track are also thinking about turning to the track. Previously, Bloomberg had reported that Job Gang may IPO in the second half of 2021 as soon as possible, but after the introduction of supervision, Job Gang’s response to the listing was that there was no clear plan and no timetable. In the U.S. stock market, online education concept stocks continued to plummet, which also reflected the shaken capital’s confidence in the industry. According to data from Eastern Fortune Choice, on June 17, the single-day declines of No. 1 High School Education, Good Future, New Oriental, and Gaotu reached 15.81%, 13.98%, 8.84%, and 8.39% respectively; the 10 companies with the largest year-to-date declines, Online education occupies 7 seats, and New Oriental has fallen by 95.89%. On the other hand, the online education advertisements that were previously overwhelming and offline have also been difficult to find. On April 23, May 10, and June 1, the top penalties imposed by the regulatory agencies on a number of education and training institutions were also for their false propaganda, price violations and other violations. It is worth mentioning that nearly a month after the news of the “three noes” came out, there were corresponding signs of “no classes during holidays”, which was considered the most unlikely event in the industry at that time. On June 16, according to a Reuters report, four sources told Reuters that China will introduce more severe than expected measures against the US$120 billion after-school training industry, including a trial ban on holiday training and restrictions on advertising. The new rules will be announced as early as next week and will take effect next month. The new regulations may reduce the annual revenue of tuition companies by 70%-80%. The ban on holiday and weekend tutoring will be implemented in 9 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu for a period of 12 months, after which it will be promoted nationwide. Reuters wrote in the report: A person close to the drafting of the new regulations by the regulator said that the new regulations will be stricter than expected and the industry should prepare for the worst. Similarly, the news of an internal discussion in New Oriental was also released, saying that classes will not be available on weekends, winter and summer vacations from 2022; subjects and non-subjects under the age of 6 will not be available; all shooting questions and search tools are all available. Online sales are further restricted; the company itself predicts that it will lose 50%+ of its revenue due to the New Deal. On the afternoon of June 18, the rumor was refuted by New Oriental. “There can be no waves without wind. New Oriental’s refutation of the rumors will not be evaluated, but the Reuters news may implement some actions, but the intensity is not easy to judge.” CY said, “The current measures are all aimed at the head, and you can see behind the stage. The intensity and effect of the crackdown are sufficient, and if it is sufficient, the scale may be relatively reduced. Moreover, before the policy is issued, it will be protected from the wind, and it depends on the market’s response.” With the continuous efforts of supervision, news of layoffs from New Oriental Online, VIPKID, Chalk Education, Gaotu, Job Gang, Ape Guidance, Good Future and other institutions have also been heard one after another. Some insiders estimate that only one summer vacation will be a job in the online education industry. The layoffs may exceed 100,000. Under the “doomsday” of the industry, news of cessation of recruitment and contract breaches spread frequently. Many freshmen who had already received offers became the most direct “victims”. They “graduated and become unemployed.” In addition, the employees of educational institutions are still in meetings in the morning, and they are notified that they have been laid off in the afternoon, and there is neither compensation nor internal transfer arrangements. An employee of an educational institution revealed to Radar Finance and Economics that no matter whether it is a primary school, a junior high school or a high school, whether it is a large class or a one-to-one basis, there are “undocumented” teachers in the institution. Under strict supervision, the company has recently started to “persuade people to leave” one after another. It is difficult for teachers without a teacher qualification certificate to continue to gain a foothold in the K12 field. Under the turmoil, is the education and training industry coming to an end? For the future of the education and training industry, CY still maintains a certain optimism. “I don’t think it will be a 70%-80% reduction in revenue. The main reason is that the capital has come in too much in the past period of time. The whole market is unhealthy and abnormal, and the cost of acquiring customers is extremely high. Now under the strong pressure of supervision, it is beneficial to the market. Standardize development and reduce customer acquisition costs.” CY said that although there are currently many restrictions on advertising and online sales of educational institutions, educational institutions do not use these methods to acquire customers from the beginning. “Isn’t Yuanzhidao a local push team of 1,000 people? The homework helper has been in the school for many years, including Yi Education and Qingbei Online School. “A school commissioner has a resource pool of 3,000 zero-turnovers every month, and only needs to pay this person’s salary. If according to the previous investment costs, so many users may need 300,000. In this way, the cost of acquiring customers will be reduced. ” CY also pointed out that the current changes are good for small and medium-sized institutions. “As long as the well-known institutions on the head may be hit, some small and medium-sized institutions with strong regionality will not be hit, and these institutions can’t invest money in large institutions, but now they are back to the same starting line. , The entire market has returned to the state it was five or six years ago.” “The country is not one size fits all, but it is a big blow to the K12 education and training track. Relatively speaking, it even encourages quality education, including art, sports, and programming. Education may be issued by the government after the census results are issued. One of the combinations is housing prices and medical care. Moreover, China’s concept stocks are unlikely to fall forever. We think it will be beneficial to release in the past half a month to 1 month. It may be a cooperation between several companies, or who has an acquisition. However, the benefits are mainly aimed at the first two or three companies to act, to see who runs faster.” Note: This article is the original article of Leidacj (ID: leidacj).

The Philippines is famous for its beautiful islands and beaches. The proposal came after a task force on infectious diseases in the Philippines asked stakeholders to learn about the process of receiving international guests who have received the Covid-19 vaccine. If the “green corridor” is approved, eligible international visitors will be allowed to enter the Philippines for tourism and resort purposes, in the context of quarantine rules being relaxed in many other countries. DOT is monitoring neighboring markets on how to reopen international travel. Specifically, for fully vaccinated people, the quarantine period will be reduced from 10 days to 7 days in Thailand, or from 21 days to 7 days in Hong Kong (China). Meanwhile, the Philippines is requiring travelers to quarantine for 10 days and 4 days at home, along with an RT-PCR test on the seventh day of isolation. “We must catch up with our neighbors and the rest of the world in gradually reopening tourist attractions. The Philippines should be ready, before international tourism in the world resumes,” Ms. Bernadette said. Romulo-Puyat added.

Ho Chi Minh City continues to record many Covid-19 cases. Specifically, 2 cases of Covid-19 were isolated immediately after entering An Giang; 76 cases were recorded domestically in Ho Chi Minh City (46), Bac Giang (20), Bac Ninh (7), Nghe An (3); in which 71 cases were detected in isolation or blockade areas. Case BN12901-BN12903 was recorded in Nghe An province in the blockade area. The test result was positive for SARS-CoV-2. Case BN12904-BN12910 recorded in Bac Ninh province: 5 cases are F1 cases, 1 case is related to Van Duong outbreak, 1 case is related to Dai Phuc outbreak. The test result was positive for SARS-CoV-2.

The test result was positive for SARS-CoV-2. As of 6 a.m. on June 20, Vietnam had a total of 11,289 domestic Covid-19 cases and 1,689 imported cases. The number of new cases from April 27 to now: 9,719 cases, of which 2,280 patients have been declared cured. There are 22 provinces (Yen Bai, Quang Ngai, Quang Ninh, Quang Nam, Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue, Tuyen Quang, Son La, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Thai Nguyen, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, Tay Ninh, Gia Lai, Bac Lieu, Dien Bien, Dak Lak, Dong Thap, Tra Vinh, Thai Binh, Vinh Phuc) has not recorded any new cases in the community for 14 days.

Van Don International Airport ensures the process of picking up flights to bring Vietnamese citizens home and immigration experts. After 7 days of concentrated isolation, people on entry will continue to isolate at home for a full 7 days and monitor their health for the next 14 days. Subjects who have entered the country but have not received the full dose of the vaccine will be quarantined for 14 days and monitored for 14 days. Diplomats and high-ranking public officials are regulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to quarantine at home for 14 days. The new isolation plan also promotes medical isolation monitoring through the application of information technology. Each person entering will be given 1 phone sim or 1 smart bracelet with VHD or Bluezone installed. During the quarantine period, people entering the country are required to do facial or voice recognition 3 times a day at 3 certain time frames, make daily medical declarations and update if there are any unusual developments. The functional units at the border gate, the Steering Committees for Covid-19 prevention and control in localities with centralized isolation facilities, and the Departments of Health of the provinces and cities have closely coordinated throughout the process from reception. information about people on entry, entry process, transportation, quarantine. Since the beginning of 2020, Quang Ninh province has welcomed more than 200 flights to bring Vietnamese citizens and foreign experts to enter through Van Don International Airport. Smooth. Based on the comments of Quang Ninh province, the Ministry of Health will continue to finalize the plan of medical isolation for Covid-19 prevention and control for people on entry, pilot implementation for people on entry. At Van Don International Airport, it is expected that from July 1, experience will be drawn and replicated nationwide.

The first type is the Bluezone smart bracelet, manufactured by a Vietnamese enterprise. Expected price is 6 USD / unit (about 138,000 VND). The bracelet uses Bluezone open source core, 30-day battery, and is used in cases where smartphones are not used like in factories, used for the elderly … to support monitoring, medical declaration… (Illustration) The second type is a GPS navigation bracelet to help manage in the isolation area, priced at 35 USD/piece (equivalent to 800,000 VND). This bracelet will identify the wearer’s location, have a warning to destroy or remove the bracelet; 30 days battery, can be charged repeatedly and reused. The bracelet has a warning sent to the quarantined person, the medical officer in charge when leaving the allowed range or violating the predetermined route. Before that, following the request of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control to complete the application to manage entry people from the time of entry, at the isolation area and to monitor their health after the end of the quarantine period. In the case of centralized isolation, the Ministry of Information and Communications (TT&TT) has proposed to apply a specialized bracelet to support the monitoring of people in centralized and post-isolation isolation developed by Vietnamese technology enterprises. According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, some countries have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects, but the use of available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Male. The purchase of foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of the partner, which can significantly affect the Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Meanwhile, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (mastering technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. The tracking bracelet solution could open up a new direction of management for low-risk quarantined people. They will be fitted with a bracelet to monitor their self-isolation at home. This approach helps to reduce the risk of cross-infection in the isolation area, and at the same time eases the social burden, especially the team working in epidemic prevention and control.

VinFast is building electric car charging stations The Ministry of Finance has just sent a document to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Ministry of Transport, to respond to tax incentives for battery electric cars. Proposals for tax incentives only mention battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Currently, according to statistics, battery electric vehicles account for about 1% of electrified vehicles in Vietnam. Electric vehicles include many types of vehicles. In addition to gasoline-powered vehicles combined with electric energy (including HEV, PHEV) and Hydrogen-fueled cars (FCEV), there are currently BEV (pure electric) battery electric cars. Completely electrically charged from an external source. The two types of hybrid vehicles move mainly with internal combustion engines, in parallel taking advantage of the benefits of an electric powertrain consisting of an electric motor with a battery. FCEVs have an advantage over BEVs when the charging time is short, but the production of water makes hydrogen fuel-powered electric vehicles only suitable for island nations, arid areas, and unsuitable for urban areas. big. Meanwhile, BEV battery electric vehicles have a minimalist structure, run short distances, can consume electricity everywhere, have great advantages in urban areas. With three types of vehicles HEV, PHEV and FCEV all use gasoline and gas, so they have more impact on the environment than BEV models. Electric cars are becoming an advantageous choice to replace vehicles using internal combustion engines, especially battery electric cars (BEVs). Many countries around the world have had preferential policies and tax support to prioritize the development and production of battery electric vehicles. According to the Ministry of Finance, Vietnam has a number of preferential policies for electric vehicles. Accordingly, electric cars carrying passengers with less than 9 seats are entitled to the special consumption tax rate of 15% (ie 10% reduction compared to cars of the same type using fossil fuels; 10-16 seats are allowed to be used for cars of the same type using fossil fuels. tax rate of 10% (5% reduction compared to cars of the same type running on gasoline) and the tax rate of 16 to less than 24 seats is applied at the tax rate of 5% (5% reduction compared to cars of the same type running on petrol). At the same time, the Law on Special Consumption Tax No. 27/2008/QH12 also stipulates the special consumption tax rate for environmentally friendly vehicles. Specifically, vehicles running on gasoline combined with electric energy and bioenergy, in which the proportion of gasoline used does not exceed 70% of the energy used by the vehicle, is entitled to a tax rate of 70% for vehicles of the same capacity. species. For cars running on bio-energy, the special consumption tax rate is only 50% compared to cars of the same type. Meanwhile, about the current registration fee, there are only preferential rates for buses using clean energy while there is no policy applicable to other environmentally friendly vehicles. To encourage production and stimulate consumers to use BEVs, contributing to reducing the emissions released into the environment by vehicles, contributing to the protection of the ecological environment and based on the outstanding advantages of vehicles. BEV, the Ministry of Finance is planning to propose new incentives for this model. An electric vehicle charging station in Ho Chi Minh City Specifically, incentives related to excise tax fall under the jurisdiction of the National Assembly. Therefore, the National Assembly must amend the excise tax law. The Government has also assigned the Ministry of Finance to preside over the overall assessment of the implementation of the excise tax policy on automobiles in the past time to study and amend the excise tax law accordingly. Regarding the registration fee under the authority of the Government, when there is a need to change, it will amend and supplement Decree No. 14/20216/ND-CP on registration fee. The Ministry of Finance said that in the past time, it has also received recommendations from a number of associations on adjusting registration fee rates to remove difficulties for businesses. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance is also evaluating the overall policy on registration fees and is expected to submit it to the Government in October. The Ministry of Finance also asked agencies to propose specific content on special consumption tax incentives and registration fees related to battery electric vehicles to summarize and report to the Government. Battery-powered electric vehicles currently account for a very small percentage in Vietnam. According to data from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association (VAMA), the number of electrified vehicles registered in Vietnam is still very modest, accumulating just over 1,000 units by the end of 2020. of which BEVs only account for about 1%, the rest are HEV and PHEV models. According to the Ministry of Finance, currently only VinFast invests in producing electric vehicles, according to reports, VinFast has now launched the first battery-powered electric car model. The factory has a capacity of 250,000 vehicles per year and the brand is focusing on battery electric vehicles with 9 seats or less and electric buses with 24 seats or more. Also according to the Ministry of Finance’s assessment, the biggest obstacle facing Vietnam today is the lack of charging station infrastructure, the main source of power for power supply is using fuel sources with high CO2 emissions, accounting for nearly half of the total mobilized electricity output, while the electricity generated from renewable energy accounts for a small proportion, about 4.3% and this is considered an unstable power source.

Laos injects three vaccines, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Sinopharm, free of charge to the people. On June 15, Laos started a new round of free vaccinations for people to reach the goal of 50% of the population being vaccinated against Covid-19. Vaccination in Laos has slowed down for a while because the country has to balance both the amount of vaccine received as well as the increasing demand for vaccination of the people after the second round of Covid-19 outbreak in Laos. Laos in mid-April. The latest batch of vaccines that Laos received was on the afternoon of June 14, with the help of China with the amount of 500,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccine that arrived in Vientiane through Wattay international airport. This is the fifth time China has donated vaccines to Laos, bringing the total number of Covid-19 vaccines that Laos has received from China to 1,902 million doses. As of the afternoon of June 14, Laos had received 2,135,620 doses of Covid-19 vaccine from countries and international organizations, the first dose was given to 713,709 cases, the second injection was given to 394,679 cases. well suited. According to the Lao Ministry of Health, the country has started a new round of vaccination with specific regulations for different vaccines that Laos receives aid from countries and international organizations. Accordingly, from today, starting the first dose of Pfizer vaccine in Vientiane, this is the number of vaccines Laos received by COVAX on June 2 with the amount of 100,620 doses. This vaccine can only be administered in Vientiane because the Pfizer vaccine is the type that needs to be stored in special equipment. Subjects include three subjects who are over 60 years old, people with underlying medical conditions, and officials and civil servants with a high-risk working environment for Covid-19. In addition, starting today, Laos also deployed the first dose of Sinopharm vaccine after receiving another 500 thousand doses from China; Administer the second dose of AstraZeneca vaccine to subjects who received the first dose. The latest information on June 15 published by the National Task Force for the control and settlement of the Covid-19 epidemic in Laos said that on June 14, Laos tested 2,025 cases, the results detected 15 positive cases. There are six cases of community transmission (in Vientiane Capital) and nine imported cases from Thailand (Champasak province and Savannakhet province). On June 14, there were 1,935 cases of entry into Laos, all cases entering Laos were checked for body temperature, taken samples for testing and isolated according to regulations (except for freight drivers). Since January 2020, Laos has tested 274,907 cases, detected 2,025 positive cases for SARS-CoV-2 virus (three cases have died). To date, 1,905 cases have been discharged, 117 cases are continuing to be treated. Currently, across Laos, there are 4,224 cases in isolation at 51 centers according to regulations. All cases in isolation centers have been sampled for Covid-19 testing.

“There is paradise above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.” The impression of Hangzhou is always with lakes and mountains, West Lake misty and rain, and a dragon well. Walking in the old streets and alleys, Hangzhou seems to show the gentle and leisurely Jiangnan water town to its fullest. People fall into the comfort of a slow life. Nowadays, Hangzhou, as the headquarters of Alibaba, seems to be unable to get rid of the 996 label. All kinds of big factories are constantly entering, working overtime to suspect life, housing prices are getting higher and higher, and they are approaching Shanghai. The anxiety level of Hangzhou life is by no means lower than that of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and a new city of struggle was born. Sanya can be regarded as a prosperous travel city, and the “Island Tour” can be regarded as an inherent impression of the original people, thanks to its tropical climate and the continuous opening of luxury hotels. Now Sanya, it can be said that all the Internet celebrity elements are integrated in the city. Snorkeling and yachting are no longer enough. All kinds of tricks are the current trend: surfing, paddle board trips, seaside horse riding and so on. Not only that, the unpopular cities around Sanya have gradually become everyone’s second destination, and they are really “touring”. The phrase “Guilin’s landscape is the best in the world” that no one knows really left a deep impression on everyone, but as a popular travel destination ten years ago, it is now a little bleak. Perhaps because of Guangxi’s unique noodle culture, tourists don’t seem to care so much about going to Guilin for mountain and water tours now. A bowl of authentic snail noodles may be more satisfying than boating on the Lijiang River. In a city full of sour bamboo shoots even coffee shops, it seems that “with powder” is the new world. In addition to the century-old ancient capital, Xi’an also has a net name “Mo”. As the rich N generation of Emperor Qin Shihuang, every person in Shaanxi is a master of flour art. Lamb steamed buns, Tongguan Roujiamo, stone steamed buns, dumpling banquet and Biángbiáng noodles, the impression of Xi’an is also like a bowl of hot steamed steamed steamed buns, real and fresh. Now there are some cool new words in the Xi’an entry database, and the derivative folk arts brought about by the collision of fashion and history also make this ancient city younger and full of contrasts. Whether it’s the bowl of wine in Yongxingfang or the light show in Qujiang, the cultural experience with folk customs has rekindled, and the challenge called “Xi’an” has become a new way for Internet celebrities to check in, letting people say “Is the Douyin headquarters?” “In Xi’an” jokingly questioned. When I went to Changsha a few years ago, Juzizhoutou, which is full of rivers and clear waters, and Yuelu Academy, visited by countless literati and inkmen, are must-see attractions. The precipitation from history always has a sense of experience that allows people to be taught. And now the reason for going to Changsha is very simple-eating, whether it’s tea-like beauty or super literary friends, has made this place a destination that everyone wants to travel to, and the rise of national tide food culture has truly refreshed The label of the city. In a city full of fireworks, people are used to starting “prematurely”, filling their stomachs with a bowl of steaming hot dried noodles, and then continue to live and work step by step, commonly known as “Buddha”. The conversations in the market with rough voices may not be familiar to them, but as long as they meet, they can talk casually, the so-called “jianghu”. The past epidemic has caused some changes in Wuhan, and even socializing has become cautious. But also in this silent time, the city began to grow savagely. Diversified cultural activities have taken root here, innovative cultural industries have also been introduced one by one, and now Wuhan people have learned to enjoy life more and more. Speaking of Qinhuangdao, I have to think of Beidaihe, a health resort, as one of the earliest seaside resorts developed in China. The pleasant weather and high-quality beach water, blowing the sea breeze to experience the quiet life must be enough to heal the soul. The advantage of the distance from Beijing also makes Qinhuangdao the first choice for recuperation for escaping from city life. Now when thinking of Qinhuangdao, many people subconsciously use Anaya to describe it. The community, which arrived at the Qinhuangdao Railway Station in a 40-minute drive, has become a utopia that people maintain with drama, music, and creation. In June, Anaya will also usher in a grand theater festival. What kind of sparks will the interesting expressions gather here? “It’s a blessing for Sansheng, otherwise my life will be even more plain” is Wang Zengqi’s memory of this treasure city. The unique location of “Sanchakou” makes this hinterland full of tolerance, with mountains and forests, and There are open grasslands, which can be described as a city to see the scenery of the Northland. It is the jewel of the Great Wall Museum and the “Davos of the East”. Now the city is beginning to welcome more international faces, and the “Winter Olympics Era” has become a business card for the city to connect with the future. With the opening of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway and the successive establishment of supporting facilities in international cities, technology and commerce have increasingly become new urban engines. Which other cities do you think have updated their entry attributes?

At a meeting with leaders of the Government, ministries and sectors in mid-May, Vingroup applied for a pilot exemption of excise tax and registration fee for electric cars for 5 years in order to promote the electric vehicle market. . In fact, this is the first proposal in Vietnam but not new in the world. Many countries have also applied a combination of supportive policies, strong incentives for consumers and manufacturers to encourage the model transition from gasoline to electricity, typically China, the US and other countries. Europe. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hallgeir Langeland, 65, a former Norwegian politician and environmental activist, has not owned a car in 25 years. But when Ford launched an all-electric version of the Mustang last year, he didn’t hesitate. “I have to have it. I can’t wait until March,” Mr. Langeland said, recalling the Mustang he drove as a young man. Christian Burg, owner of an energy-efficient housing construction business in Germany, has been driving a petrol BMW X3 SUV for many years. When the German government increased subsidies for electric cars, he applied for a small business subsidy and switched to the iX3 rechargeable hybrid. “We received an incentive of 3,750 euros ($4,500),” he revealed. Governments are tightening emissions standards and supporting industries on the front lines of the fight against climate change. Photo: Reuters. From electric vehicle powerhouses China and Europe… Governments around the globe have introduced a variety of policies to boost the electric vehicle industry over the years, including reducing taxes, fees, subsidies, incentives, and administrative regulations. The common point is that governments have set a specific roadmap to transition from fossil fuel vehicles to electric cars. According to the CNBC Many Chinese drivers switch to electric cars because of the government’s preferential policies. For example, in 2016, Chinese buyers received a nationwide discount of 55,000 yuan ($8,599.01) for each BEV and 30,000 yuan ($4,690) for PHEVs. Municipal governments also provide additional support up to 55,000 yuan. Beijing also subsidizes electric vehicle manufacturers based on battery power density, driving range and energy consumption. For example, in 2020, a pure electric vehicle with a minimum range of 300 km will receive a subsidy of 16,200-22,500 yuan (2,532-3,517 USD). Along with that, it supports the construction of a battery charging network for electric vehicles. For taxes and fees, China offers 50-100% reduction in user registration fees from time to time, annual tax relief, free or low-cost charging. In addition, manufacturers will receive credit points if they produce many electric vehicles. China is the leading electric vehicle market in the world. Photo: Reuters. Buyers of electric vehicles in China also receive preferential registration fees, no need to wait for car registration for 6-12 months, free highways, and parking. In Shenzhen alone, taxis switching to electric vehicles will be able to receive subsidies. A 27-year-old customer, who lives in Hangzhou, has been waiting almost a year for a license plate for his petrol car. However, after seeing Xpeng’s G3 electric car, she decided not to wait any longer. “After applying the government subsidy, the car fits my budget of about 180,000 yuan (US$27,643),” she said. The European Union (EU) is also gradually tightening emissions standards and supporting industries on the front lines in the fight against climate change. Much of the support goes to initiatives that push consumers to buy electric vehicles, which in turn drives demand. After applying the government subsidy, the car fits my budget of about 180,000 yuan (US$27,643) A 27-year-old customer in Hangzhou In 2020, sales of new electric vehicles in European countries doubled, accounting for 43% of global sales. Rising momentum has brought the EU over China to become the world’s largest electric vehicle market. For example, Germany subsidizes up to 4,000 euros ($4,874) per BEV and 3,000 euros ($3,656) for PHEVs. The country also built a €1 billion fund for rebates and building charging stations. Meanwhile, France subsidizes 6,000 euros ($7,312) for cars that emit less than 20g of CO2, 5,000 euros ($6,093) per BEV, and nearly 10,000 euros ($12,187.01) for customers who switch from diesel vehicles to BEVs. Similar to France and Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Finland also apply different subsidies to electric vehicle customers. Denmark alone reduces sales tax up to 80%. Some major Spanish cities reduce taxes by 75%, while Finland has a minimum tax rate. …to North America Transportation is currently America’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, US President Joe Biden’s plan to change gasoline cars to electric cars is essential to solving the problems of climate change. Biden’s proposals include incentives of up to $174 billion for electric cars. His plan is to increase discounts for customers who buy electric cars. In addition, the US president plans to push to increase the number of public chargers from 72,000 in 2019 to 500,000 in 2030. He also called for replacing the US government’s fleet of about 650,000 vehicles with models. electricity. Experts of Bloomberg It is estimated that 500,000 chargers may require about 6 billion USD of investment. Part of the $174 billion subsidy will also go directly to consumers to stimulate demand. Along with that are orders for electric vehicles directly from the federal government. To realize his climate ambitions, Mr. Biden needs to benefit as many electric vehicle manufacturers as possible. Bloomberg The above expenses all bring about the same effect. That’s increasing demand to accelerate the electrification of the US auto industry. Previously, the federal government and some states offered tax credits (up to $7,500) and incentives for buying electric vehicles, but the main federal incentive will begin to cut after manufacturers sold 200,000 electric cars. “To realize his climate ambitions, Mr. Biden needs to benefit as many electric vehicle manufacturers as possible.” Bloomberg comment. Meanwhile, the Canadian government requires that all vehicles sold starting in 2040 will produce zero emissions. The province of Québec will ban the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger cars from 2035. British Columbia will completely ban the sale or rental of gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2040. Norway also introduced subsidy programs to boost sales of electric vehicles, including direct support of 4,000 euros ($4,874) to users, a 50% subsidy on vehicle prices and the cost of station construction and installation. charger for the manufacturer. A plan to change petrol cars to electric cars is necessary to address climate problems. Photo: Reuters. Along with that is a discount on fast charging service, free parking, fees for ships, boats, harbors, and the use of bus lanes; some road and ferry fees are waived. Taxes exempted for electric vehicles in Norway include fuel, road, and vehicle taxes. Meanwhile, Japan also exempts taxes related to vehicle ownership, purchase and tonnage. In 2020, electric car buyers will receive a subsidy of up to $7,700 depending on the vehicle’s battery capacity. According to Dr. Bui Quang Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Economics, government support is essential if Vietnam wants to develop the electric car industry to catch up with the world’s trends and achieve its goals. on green growth. “The support policy demonstrates the tectonic role of the State, its commitment to accompany businesses so that they can grow up, reach out to the world, and raise the level of Vietnamese people. Behind this policy is a very important political meaning, not just economic support,” said Dr. Bui Quang Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Economics.

In a recent statement, Spanish Health Minister Carolina Darias affirmed that “Spain is a safe destination” and hopes that the country’s tourism industry will soon restore its position; In the context of favorable progress of vaccination, life here gradually returns to normal. Tourists arrive in Spain on June 7, at the airport in the city of Malaga. Source: Reuters At airports and ports, the Spanish government has two different checkpoints, for visitors from high-risk and low-risk countries, respectively. If coming from a high-risk area, travelers must have a vaccination certificate, a negative test result or proof that they have recovered from Covid-19. Children under the age of six are exempt from these procedures. Visitors from low-risk areas are not required to provide the above documents; they will be controlled through a QR code, after declaring it on the Spanish Travel Health (SpTH) digital platform. This platform facilitates quick and convenient entry for visitors. Arriving in Spain on June 7, Ms. Carla Grahuer (Israel) said: “The procedures and forms are filled out online so it is very quick. If you fill out all the information, you have had your vaccination and PCR test done. There won’t be any problems.” On the first day of opening, activity at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport in Madrid remained low compared to the busy tourist flow before the Covid-19 crisis. Before the pandemic, Spain was the second largest host of international visitors in the world. In 2020, international tourism in Spain has dropped by 80%, leaving beaches, fortresses and hotels almost deserted.

Visitors who are granted a “Digital Certificate of Covid-19” can enter many European countries from July 1. After two weeks of consecutive declines in the number of new Covid-19 cases, Spain recently announced the relaxation of entry regulations for travelers from 10 countries, including the requirement to test negative for the virus. SARS-CoV-2. Meanwhile, North Macedonia also closed almost all Covid-19 treatment centers and makeshift hospitals after the number of cases dropped by 90%. Germany, Italy and Cyprus are also expected this week to allow food and beverage restaurants to open for service. In the recently approved border opening plan, the leaders of the European Union (EU) set out two main conditions. Firstly, the EU only reopens its borders to those countries that have controlled the Covid-19 epidemic well for a certain period of time, with indicators of the infection rate among the population equal to or lower than that of the EU. Second, only those who have been granted a “Covid-19 Digital Certificate” can travel freely. For Europeans, the “Digital Certification of Covid-19” is expected to take effect from July 1, and is expected to become the “key” to open the economy, especially. is the tourism industry. Because European countries have lost hundreds of billions of euros since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, closing their borders with the outside for nearly a year. According to statistics, the “smokeless industry” contributes about 14% of Spain’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), over 13% of Italy’s GDP, nearly 8% of France’s GDP and even up to 20% of GDP of Spain. Greek. Therefore, if this summer tourist season fails, the economies of countries such as Greece and Spain are at risk of not being able to recover. The emergence of medical certificates not only helps promote tourism within the EU countries, but also allows visitors from countries outside the union to enter, especially visitors from the US and UK, two countries. The country has the highest rate of vaccination against Covid-19 in the world today. Gloria Guevara of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) called the “Digital Certification of Covid-19” a big step towards the recovery of the tourism industry, helping EU countries in time. welcome a large number of visitors in the summer tourist season. Currently 46 per cent of the EU’s adult population has received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, while 300 million more will be delivered soon. The EU’s goal is to fully immunize 75% of adults by the end of July. If according to plan, EU countries can confidently reopen safely. Along with the tourism industry, many other business and manufacturing sectors will also recover. The European Commission (EC) predicts that the bloc’s economy will grow 4.2% this year. Although the “Digital certification of Covid-19” is considered the “key” for Europeans to regain their former rhythm, according to health experts, the opening of borders and the easing of controls epidemic still needs to be conducted with caution. European countries will have to closely monitor and make specific assessments in each phase. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recommends that the vaccine is considered a “light at the end of the tunnel”, but its effectiveness has not been fully evaluated while the strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus continued to appear. Therefore, countries around the world need to choose safe steps. Step 1: Visit https://www.bluezone.gov.vn or download directly at App Store or CH Play.

Thus, this is the first airline in Vietnam to sign an electronic health passport agreement. This is the key to opening the border, creating favorable conditions for passengers to travel between countries, and at the same time meeting all entry requirements of authorities and governments at the destination. IATA will support and coordinate closely with Vietnam Airlines throughout the test run. A representative of the airline said that IATA and Vietnam Airlines will start testing in June this year. Accordingly, some passengers will be selected to download the IATA Travel Pass application for free on their mobile phones, create a digital personal profile including photos and passport information, fill in flight information to be updated on their flight requirements. epidemiological demand at the destination. In the first phase, some passengers will be selected to download the free IATA Travel Pass application to their mobile phones and create personal profiles. Photo: VNA Before departure, passengers must make an appointment and go to COVID-19 testing or vaccination at a facility designated by the Government of the host country that is registered with IATA, then share the results electronically and confirm flight status with the airline before commencing the journey. According to the airline, the application helps airlines and authorities check the validity of certificates and easily identify passengers. All this information is confidential and is only shared with the passenger’s permission. IATA Travel Pass integrates some leading digital solutions such as contactless travel, biometric data, electronic health certificates such as test results, COVID-19 vaccination, especially convenient and effective. when possible to replace the current types of paper procedures. Several airlines around the world have implemented the IATA Travel Pass. Illustration. Vietnam Airlines General Director Le Hong Ha acknowledged that Vietnam Airlines has become the pioneer airline in Vietnam to test the IATA Travel Pass, creating a big step forward for its passengers and for the domestic aviation industry. “We believe that Vietnam Airlines’ ability to accelerate digital transformation along with IATA’s extensive expertise in the aviation field will bring certain successes after this test,” said the CEO of Vietnam Airlines. According to Mr. Ha, electronic health passport solutions such as the IATA Travel Pass should be widely allowed and recognized by governments, helping to quickly restore regular international passenger transport. The most important goal is to restore passenger confidence when traveling and ensure a safe and seamless travel experience for all.” Nick Careen, IATA Senior Vice President of Airport Operations, Passenger, Cargo and Security said: “We are proud to welcome Vietnam Airlines as the first airline in Vietnam to apply the IATA Travel Pass. . This is a solution to facilitate international travel during the pandemic, providing peace of mind and ensuring that passengers meet all COVID-19 requirements upon entry. The IATA Travel Pass holds the key to the relaunch of the travel and tourism industry, an important contributor to the country’s economy.”

The famous Nissi beach of Cyprus, taken on May 21, 2021. Travelers are required to take a Covid-19 test prior to departure. (Source: AP) Countries, especially those heavily dependent on tourism, are racing to revive amid the still raging Covid-19 pandemic. While some countries confidently promote border opening, some countries, including the rate of Covid-19 vaccination among the population is quite high, still struggling to “open” or “closed” the border. gender. The World Travel & Tourism Council estimated the tourism industry lost nearly $4.5 trillion and 62 million jobs last year. Airlines alone lost $126 billion in 2020 and are likely to lose another $48 billion this year. “Headache” because each place has a style The rollout of a Covid-19 vaccine is well underway in many parts of the world, giving confidence to governments and excitement to those who love to travel. However, those who are planning travel trips sometimes feel like they are lost in the matrix of regulations because each place is different and even rapidly changing. For example, Cyprus imposes restrictions on countries considered to be at higher risk, requiring incoming passengers to take a negative PCR test 72 hours before departure and one more test. when entering this country. Travelers must also self-isolate until test results are released. Constantinos Victoras, general manager of NissiBlu hotel located near the famous white sand beach of Ayia Napa, said that although the infection rate in Cyprus has decreased significantly in the past two weeks, it is not until the end of June that everything is new. becomes more obvious. At that time, tour operators and airlines were just starting to plan and organize flights. “Things are still very vague,” says Victoras. Swedish tourists Agatha and Simon Godurkiewicz said they chose to vacation in Cyprus because they were tired of the pandemic. Agatha Godurkiewicz said: “We are fed up with life during the pandemic. When the epidemic first appeared, we panicked, but now we are learning to live together.” Confident Europe The economies of the Mediterranean countries, including Greece, Spain and Turkey, are heavily dependent on tourism. Tourists from these countries began to breathe a sigh of relief when last week the European Union (EU) agreed to allow travelers who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or come from other countries. countries are considered safe to enter. The Covid-19 digital certification will help Europeans who meet the above criteria travel more conveniently at the start of the tourist season without having to be isolated or tested when traveling to another country. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said last week that Spain would begin allowing visitors from Britain, Japan, the United States and some other countries to enter if they have been vaccinated. Foreign tourists have begun to appear in Greece after authorities allowed people from the European Union and 21 other countries with vaccination and test certificates to enter. On the Greek island of Naxos, business owners have begun pulling furniture out of storage, cleaning floors and reopening once crowded seaside pubs. Naxos Mayor Dimitris Lianos said: “People here are very optimistic and there are a lot of bookings in the last two weeks. From now until the end of the year, the outlook will be bright. I’m sure of that.” Croatia has also reopened. The country is one of the few places in Europe that Americans can easily visit. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have announced the opening of direct flights from New York to Dubrovnik this summer. Cautious Asia The Covid-19 epidemic is breaking out again throughout parts of Asia, making some countries and territories more reticent when it comes to strategies to open up the tourism industry. After a new outbreak, Hong Kong and Singapore abandoned injections for travelers entering without quarantine. Hong Kong even extended the mandatory quarantine period for many unvaccinated travelers. Meanwhile, China has set up additional checkpoints at tollgates, airports and train stations in Liaoning province, where new cases arose this month. Travelers must present proof of a negative test result for the Sars-cov-2 virus. Thailand, which closed its borders and strictly controlled the outbreak last year, allowed some foreign visitors to enter under strict control in the fall. But the worst outbreak in late March caused the country to completely change its policy. Bangkok has closed entertainment venues and parks, encouraged people to work from home and banned outdoor dining. Streets in the capital and many resorts of Thailand are almost empty of people. Travel-related job losses are on the rise. Middle East and Africa eagerly When the outbreak emerged last year, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) closed its borders and airports. The capital, Abu Dhabi, applies strict measures, including mandatory isolation, even for fully vaccinated residents returning from some epidemic-hit countries. But the UAE’s largest city, Dubai, has been open to tourists since July last year. In addition to meeting the requirement for a negative Covid-19 test, visitors are subject to a number of other restrictions that are not too strict. Dubai – home to the world’s busiest airport, a hub for international travelers – is attracting visitors from Europe with its wide-open beaches, bars, hotel pools, restaurants, cinemas. movies, amusement parks and spas. Social distancing and wearing of masks are mandatory. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the largest country in the Gulf, does not allow tourists to enter the country. Citizens of Saudi Arabia, who have been banned from traveling since March 2020, are allowed to travel abroad starting this month if they are vaccinated or have recently recovered from the Sars-Cov virus infection. 2. Despite struggling to cope with a new wave of infections, Egypt is trying to attract more foreign tourists. Beaches, cafes and restaurants located within guests are allowed to stay open. Travelers are required to present a negative Covid-19 test prior to entry. Latin America and the Caribbean: An open place, a shy place Visitors to the Caribbean countries fell by two-thirds last year, a low not seen since the 1980s. Bermuda was one of the hardest hit, with an 84% drop. Some islands, including Bonaire, Martinique and Montserrat still ban tourists from most countries. On some other islands, tourists are allowed to return provided they are monitored by electronic tracking devices. Several islands, including St. Vincent and the Grenadines have launched campaigns to attract tourists. Cruise lines are being sent from the US to Caribbean ports this summer. The US Virgin Islands has been the region’s success story this year, with arrivals falling just 27% between January and March. Meanwhile, Mexico does not ban flights, does not require visitors to be tested or quarantined upon arrival. This makes the number of tourists, although still decreasing, at a stable level, especially to sea tourist destinations. However, Mexico’s open policy angered some people in popular tourist areas. The rate of people infected with Covid-19 and hospitalized is increasing. Assistant Health Minister Hugo López-Gatell warned: “If public activities are not reduced, the situation will worsen.” USA and Canada: Be cautious The US continues to ban most visitors from Europe, China, India, Brazil and elsewhere. Incoming international visitors, including US citizens, must be tested for Covid-19 before boarding. The US State Department discourages business trips abroad, labeling many countries around the world as high risk. The border between the US and Canada remains closed for non-essential travel until June 21. Domestic air travel in the US is close to returning to 2019 levels. Many tourism businesses have shown impatience, saying that the Biden administration is too reticent to allow more international tourists to enter in the context that most of the country’s population has been vaccinated against Covid-19. -19.

Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, Head of the City Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control Nguyen Thanh Phong chaired the meeting. Reported at the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Tan Binh, Director of Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Health, said that recently, the city has appeared a risk factor for the spread of Covid-19 from 41 isolation areas in the hotel. 350 isolation areas of the army and 24 isolation areas in districts. The second risk is that Ho Chi Minh City hospitals are the last lines with a large concentration of patients from provinces and cities. The third is the risk from illegal entry, which the city’s health sector has recorded a number of cases of Covid-19. The fourth is the case of returning home after the last holiday, especially returning from places where there are cases of infection. Mr. Nguyen Tan Binh said that the city’s health sector has reactivated all sets of safety criteria to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic in all fields. The city is ready to test 5,000 samples/day, which can be increased to 30,000 – 40,000 samples/day at the request of the Ministry of Health. As for the capacity to treat patients with Covid-19, the city has a plan to treat 50-100 cases at the same time and can increase it to over 200 cases. The city’s Department of Health has planned to treat more than 5,000 cases at the same time. Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong said that in the face of the indicated risks, the city must activate the Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control system at the highest level. “The city has Tan Son Nhat international airport, 60 large and small seaports, many last-line hospitals, so it has to activate a highly concentrated epidemic prevention and control system in these places,” said Comrade Nguyen Thanh Phong. strong. Comrade Nguyen Thanh Phong requested, in addition to drastic and strict measures, it is necessary to add measures to prevent and control the epidemic in places and areas with high risk of infection. Specifically, for airways, pay attention to security control and on-board aircraft; for roads, re-establishing checkpoints to collect medical declarations, all people coming from localities with infection chains are required to make medical declarations; For waterways, the city’s border guards must consider epidemic prevention and control as the top task at this time. Industrial parks and production facilities must have a response plan when one or more Covid-19 cases appear. The head of the city government also requested, agencies and units to strengthen online meetings; exchange between state agencies with each other through electronic mailboxes; interaction between the government and the people through the online public service portal. “The city must be ready to respond in case the epidemic spreads in the community. The city will deploy more concentrated medical isolation areas, soon to raise over 10,000 isolation beds and be ready to treat 200 cases at the same time”, Head of the City Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control Nguyen Thanh Phong requested.

Israelis use certificates of vaccination against Covid-19. Photo The Local France The deployment of “vaccine passports” to facilitate people who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 to travel abroad has been promoted by many countries, considered one of the measures to help open up the “airborne industry”. smoke” in the context of a pandemic. However, it is still necessary to consider how to implement it to ensure safety and not create sensitive issues. In the context of widespread vaccination campaigns, debates are also heating up about how to revive the international tourism industry that has been heavily affected by the pandemic. Canadian Health Minister P. Hagiu said the Government of Canada supports the concept of a “vaccine passport” and will introduce a form of certification that will facilitate those who enter the country. Canada has been vaccinated against Covid-19 to be allowed to travel internationally. The UK also plans to regulate the National Health Service phone app, which will act as a digital testing and vaccination verification tool. British sports federations support the use of “vaccine passports” in the hope that stadiums will be filled with spectators again. Israel is considering making the Green Pass, which allows vaccinated Israelis to go to restaurants, gyms, concerts and sporting events, into effect. with international travel. The World Health Organization (WHO) is working on the Smart Immunization Certificate. However, several governments and civil society organizations expressed concerns about individual privacy as the discussion about digital passports unfolded. The administration of US President G. Baidon has confirmed it will not promote mandatory vaccination certificates because of legal and sensitive issues. The European Union (EU) intends to allow the use of a certificate to show a person’s vaccination, Covid-19 test or proof of recovery. Technical work is underway to ensure that this certification is accepted by all 27 EU member states. Vaccines accepted across the bloc will be those approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Meanwhile, some vaccine countries from Russia or China can accept other vaccines if they want and are only allowed to issue “vaccine passports” within their territories. EU countries make their own decisions whether to accept “vaccine passports” for vaccines that have not yet been approved by the EU. However, European parliamentarians want to change the name of this document to “EU Covid-19 certificate” instead of “digital green certificate”, to avoid being interpreted as a kind of “vaccination passport”. -please”. The EU believes that this document should not be used as a travel document, nor should it become a prerequisite for the exercise of freedom of movement. In addition, EU countries have also agreed to combat discrimination against those who cannot or do not wish to be vaccinated against Covid-19 and allow them to conduct a series of tests to prove recovery. In Asia, the Japanese government intends to roll out a “vaccine passport” issued as a smartphone app. Passengers will scan QR codes at airports before boarding or entering Japan. The app connects to the Vaccination Record System, a government database of people who have been vaccinated. To avoid asking for a vaccination certificate that could lead to discrimination between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, “vaccine passports” contain a section stating a negative test result for SARS- CoV-2 and will also not be used in the case of domestic travel. Meanwhile, the Thai government has announced it will adopt a “vaccination passport”, or vaccination certificate, to be used as an official travel document for people who have been vaccinated. prevent Covid-19. The “vaccine passport” is seen as an outlet for many economic sectors. According to experts, digital vaccination certificates are especially useful for countries with good disease control, because it allows the economy to gradually reopen safely. However, this problem has increased the problem of fake “vaccine passports”. Cybersecurity experts warn that “vaccine passports” are being sold widely online. Meanwhile, to apply this special “passport” to international travel requires countries to be willing to share data. This is an issue that countries must continue to discuss to have an optimal solution.

The island nation of Maldives is a tourist attraction. (Source: business-standard) The Maldives Islands have decided entry ban for people from South Asian countries; including India, in an effort to prevent the spread of the acute respiratory infection pandemic COVID-19 . The Maldives Ministry of Tourism on May 12 said: “The Maldivian government has decided to temporarily stop issuing tourist visas to visitors from South Asian countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.” The ban also applies to passengers who transit more than 24 hours in these countries and who have been to these countries within the past 14 days. Meanwhile, guests from other countries are still allowed to go to the Maldives resort islands if available negative PCR test within 96 hours before entry, but do not have contact with local people. Previously, the Maldives has reopened tourist resorts from July 2020 after 3 months of closure against the epidemic. But the country has recorded a record high number of new infections per day (1,500 cases on May 11), while a month ago, this number was less than 100 cases / day.

Currently, visitors to the Maldives must provide a negative PCR test and proof of hotel reservations in order to gain entry. Maldives Tourism Minister Abdulla Mausoom recently said the Maldives’ Health Protection Agency is about to announce the lifting of entry restrictions for tourists who have completed their vaccinations. In addition, the country is preparing to deploy the 3V strategy “Visit, vaccinate, vacation” to attract and facilitate international tourists. Maldives is known as “paradise of relaxation”. Source: Getty Images However, the Maldives has not decided on the time of implementing this program. The government will first give priority to the people, to ensure that they are fully vaccinated with two doses of Covid-19 vaccine. When that process is completed, the country will be ready to vaccinate foreign visitors to visit and travel. So far, about 53% of the approximately 530,000 inhabitants of the island nation have received the first dose; this includes about 90% of frontline travel workers. It is not clear if tourists will have to pay for the vaccine, but the leader said vaccine supplies should not be an issue for the Maldives. The island nation receives vaccine funding from India, China and the World Health Organization’s Covax program; In addition, they also ordered more vaccines from Singapore. This year, the Maldives has welcomed 350,000 visitors, mainly visitors from neighboring country India. In addition, a large number of visitors come here under the “workation” model, with longer stays to work remotely. Minister Mausoom said that these long-stay guests will also receive two doses of vaccine. The 2021 target of the Maldives is to welcome 1.5 million visitors and 10 million room nights.

On the one hand, the game’s NFT repeatedly broke records, and on the other, there was a flood of doubts. Author丨Zhang Yinan, Wang Yan Editor丨Zhu Taowei Source | Competition As Bitcoin and other digital currencies continue to dominate the financial circle, NFT (non-fungible Token, non-fungible token), as the first token out of the circle, is non-fungible and inseparable. The characteristics of it shine in the field of art collections. Due to the link to the price of cryptocurrency, the latter’s volatility is large, which also makes the NFT art market extremely volatile. For many industries, getting a lot of benefits without physical existence may be like an injection of adrenaline. Based on the above considerations, it is not surprising that the news that NFT digital art sells at high prices is endless. On the evening of March 11, 2021, Beijing time, Christie’s, the world’s top auction house, held the first digital art auction online. This auction is a work by American graphic designer Beeple (Beeple), called “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” (Everydays: The First 5000 Days). The author Beppel spent 13 years, insisting on creating one image every day, and finally assembled this painting with 5,000 images. 33 bidders from 11 countries and regions, after 14 days of online bidding, a total of 353 bids, finally fell the hammer for 60.25 million U.S. dollars, plus about 69.3 million U.S. dollars in commission (about 450 million yuan). It set a new record for digital art transactions. It is worth noting that “Every Day: The First 5000 Days” is also the first artwork to be traded based on NFT (non-homogeneous tokens) at an auction house, which has completely inspired the NFT market. When I browsed a well-known NFT trading platform, I found a DOTA2 OG championship ring, the price was as high as 400ETH (Ether), which is about 5.9 million yuan. Take a closer look, the sale is not the actual championship ring, just a dynamic picture. What exactly is NFT? Could it be that 450 million and 5.9 million just bought a loneliness? The details will be revealed for everyone. 01 The championship ring sells for 5.9 million Jinghe learned that OG once announced on its official Twitter in January that it would cooperate with the encrypted art platform, and then released dynamic pictures related to the “championship ring”. From the information released by OG, it appears that the several rings launched are not officially made by V agency, but are “painted” works by OG and artists. Then, they were sold on the NFT platform, with an initial price of $200, and they were sold out once they were on sale. When it first launched, many players still felt confused. Buying a GIF for $200 is a naked IQ tax? Even more surprising is that three months later, one of the golden championship rings sold for as much as 5.9 million yuan. The author read it outrageously, but after careful study found that it is not that the work is really worth 5.9 million, but the owner of the work can set the selling price by himself, and if the seller accepts it, he can directly buy it. If you have a friend who is familiar with “CS:GO” jewelry trading, you should soon be able to understand the trading mechanism of the NFT trading platform. After reviewing the transaction records, the author found that the last transaction amount of this golden champion ring was 10 ETH, which is about 148,000 yuan (as of press time), which is more than a hundred times higher than the initial sale amount of 200 US dollars. What made OG sell the championship ring GIF for $200, and what courage did this warrior use to raise the price to 5.9 million? Speaking of this, we have to expand on the particularity of NFT. 02 What is NFT The full name of NFT in English is Non-Fungible Token. Translated into Chinese, it means: non-homogeneous tokens, which are indivisible, irreplaceable, and unique. On the blockchain, digital cryptocurrencies are divided into two categories: native coins and tokens. The former, such as the familiar Bitcoin and Ethereum, has its own main chain and uses transactions on the chain to maintain ledger data; tokens are attached to the existing blockchain and use smart contracts to record the ledger. Such as a token issued by attaching to Ethereum. Tokens can be divided into two types: homogenization and non-homogeneity. Homogeneous tokens, namely FT (Fungible Token), can replace each other and can be close to infinitely split tokens. For example, there is essentially no difference between a Bitcoin in your hand and a Bitcoin in my hand. This is homogenization and homogenization of coins. The focus of art auctions on the NFT platform is actually “non-homogeneous tokens.” According to Christie’s, NFT and blockchain technology allow collectors and artists to confirm the true owner and authenticity of digital artworks. The transaction process is roughly similar to the well-known Bitcoin. The artist delivers the work to the buyer and provides a unique NFT, which encrypts the signature that the artist cannot forge, and records the transaction on an immutable blockchain. The difference is that since NFTs cannot replace each other, each one is unique. Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. are homogeneous, each of which can be substituted for each other, so one NFT can be used to represent a work. NFT has the characteristics of non-homogeneity and inseparability, which enables it to be bound to some commodities in the real world. In other words, it is actually a digital asset issued on the blockchain. This asset can be game props, digital artwork, tickets, etc., and is unique and non-copyable. Since NFT has natural collection attributes and is convenient for trading, crypto artists can use NFT to create unique digital artworks. This scarcity attribute greatly increases the value of each NFT digital art collection. In addition, the e-sports field has also begun to accelerate the entry of NFTs. Many e-sports clubs, platforms, companies, and alliances are preparing to launch their own NFT products. Recently, Tfue, a well-known foreign game anchor, launched his first collection of NFT limited series. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a precedent for the game live broadcast session to enter the NFT market. This NFT collection series called “King of Gaming” revolves around pictures and videos created by three games “Fortnite”, “Minecraft” and “Call of Duty”. At the same time, 100T, a well-known North American e-sports organization, also announced that it will launch corresponding NFT products. NFT also deserves special attention, that is, it has innovated the trading model in the traditional art field for hundreds of years. When creators’ works are sold for a second time, they can continue to benefit from it. Some mainstream NFT trading platforms stipulate that every time NFT works are traded in the future, 10% of the proceeds will be proportionally distributed to creators. Does it sound a bit like channel revenue in direct sales? As everyone knows, the reason why Douyin and Kuaishou quickly became popular is that the platforms have allowed high-quality anchors to make money. Similarly, in the NFT market, how to further increase the income of creators has also attracted market attention. 03 How does NFT improve the creator economy Kevin Chou Jesse Walden Nowadays, many people are talking about virtual currency, the origin may be NFT, that is, non-homogeneous tokens. Similar to the modern video game business model, such as “Fortress Night” V-Bucks. The currency can be used for a variety of purposes, including the purchase of digital goods (such as Fortnite skins and emoticons). In the view of a16z partner and cryptocurrency investor Chris Dixon, Video games are the most advanced way for people to participate in social life. People can not only spread quickly on the Internet, but also make money. In his opinion, a ray of sunlight has entered the field of NFT, and people have begun to notice it, and its future potential is huge. Kevin Chou, the founder of Kabam and Rally, believes that the real world is different from the game world. Before the advent of social media, many people would build and develop communities in games. They are keen to discuss the appearance of the mount, and care about the hero’s skin and avatar. But right now, users don’t need to do this at all. People can use Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Douyin, and social life. If you want to build a social life on the basis of blockchain, the important thing is how to spread to social media and even the entire Internet, not just in games. “NFT brings the concept of scarcity in the digital field back into the public eye.” Mediachain founder Jesse Walden believes, “It allows fans to support artists in a new way and transfer monetary value to what they see in the world. .” He emphasized that on this basis, people can build communities and then enter the field of social tokens. For ordinary fans, it is important to figure out how to earn, buy or trade NFT and community tokens. Kevin said that the company is trying to make the entry experience for ordinary fans very simple, after all, this is their first encrypted experience. There are many different ways to achieve this, and there is no right or wrong. Different artists or celebrities need to discover the best way for them. From another dimension, once a user has an NFT, how will it be used? Maybe you can show people the MetaMask wallet and let others view the NFT they own. But how do you show it to others who care about NFT? Based on this, everyone still needs to do a lot of work to enhance its visibility. Of course, how to use these NFTs is also very important. In fact, NFT is very versatile, like a background pass. However, since it will not disappear after use, NFT can be used as a collectible. Jesse believes that these assets are programmable. Owning NFT is like owning Bitcoin. You can choose to place it on the Coinbase platform or other platforms. Because they are both programmable and easy to carry, everyone can use assets to build a variety of new experiences. Unlike the fan club background pass, third-party developers can add new functions to NFT or social tokens for different purposes. Based on this, Jesse believes that social tokens will have more collaborative work capabilities. Does this mean that NFTs can build trustworthy bridges across blockchains? If you take a longer look at it, this will be the ultimate solution. Jesse believes that just like every photo taken by the iPhone, every game asset can be created as an NFT. However, putting these long-tail media assets on Ethereum does not make any sense. The reason is that Ethereum is very secure, but very expensive. Or everyone thinks that they can be placed on the side chain. The problem is that as these assets rise in value, they may control more market value, and eventually they will migrate to the main chain that provides the highest security. 04 How do you view the game NFT boom? Currently, relatively mature digital currency exchanges on the market are actively deploying NFTs, such as Binance, Kucoin, Huobi, OKEx, Matcha MXC, Bittrex, etc. Opportunities are often accompanied by risks. At present, the threshold for trading NFT assets is relatively high, and the application field is still relatively single, mainly concentrated in small circles such as games, encrypted artworks, and card collections. In response to the current situation of NFT, Cao Yin, managing director of the Digital Renaissance Foundation, pointed out that NFT is still in its early stage, facing the challenges of fewer users, small market, and no liquidity. Focusing on the game market, the market has failed to reach a consensus on the source of value of game assets NFT. Even if the NFT market transaction volume in the game field has exceeded 43 million U.S. dollars, the NFT sales volume has exceeded 1.7 million. On the one hand, the game’s NFT repeatedly broke records, and on the other, there was a flood of doubts. As for the encrypted artwork NFT, it was originally used as a medium for artists to express themselves. No matter how volatile the market is, its scarcity is unique, and its value will rise. Encrypted artwork NFT is different from game assets. The value foundation of game asset NFT itself is not stable. Investors buying encrypted game NFT collections have to bear higher risks, so they need to be more cautious. All in all, here is a warm reminder for bidding: NFT collections are risky, and investment needs to be cautious.

Because this section of the border crossing this border gate is adjacent to the river, people living along the two river banks can cross at any time.

Currently, the unit has set up 20 groups and posts along the border to both prevent the Covid-19 epidemic and prevent people entering illegally and smuggling. “Due to the specificity of the locality having a border on the river, the patrol and control work has many difficulties, the ships are parked close to each other, obscuring the view. Particularly more than 4 km on the road, the houses and gardens. Densely planted fruit trees also create opportunities for subjects to take advantage of the night to illegally enter or hide. raft back and forth, as well as tightening open paths to prevent anyone from crossing the border illegally “- Colonel Linh said.

Therefore, the Provincial Border Guard Command considers the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic a key political and urgent task. The key to preventing epidemics from entering across borders is to detect, prevent and prevent illegal entry and exit. In addition to not assisting and transporting people in Cambodia or illegally returning from epidemic areas, people in border areas should not voluntarily cross the border without permission of the competent authority. Currently, more than 33,000 households living along the border line across the province have signed commitments to take measures to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, as well as not to violate the law on illegal immigration and other crimes. offense.

Kien Giang has difficulty in preventing and fighting against Covid-19 epidemics

According to leaders of the Department of Health of Kien Giang province, at present, controlling immigration is extremely important. In the context of complicated epidemic developments in Cambodia, Kien Giang and the western provinces are taking drastic measures to block the routes.

“We have maintained this for more than a year. However, with a long border, epidemics in your country are complicated, so the risk of omitting illegal entry on land and at sea is very high”, leader of the Kien Giang Department of Health said.

We cannot take advantage of the Medical Center. Ha Tien City Hospital is a field hospital because if it is prolonged, it will affect the people’s health care, “said a representative of the Kien Giang Department of Health.

Kien Giang suggested the Ministry of Health soon approve the establishment of a field hospital because Cambodia is in a blockade period. Until the quarantine scope is removed, this province can welcome a very large number of returnees.

One is to make use of existing facilities with waste treatment systems such as medical centers and hospitals. The second is to make use of civil facilities (dormitories, schools, sports grounds), to assign general hospitals to establish and maintain long-term operations.

“This civilian model in Hai Duong, Ho Chi Minh City operates effectively. Kien Giang can refer to and apply this model in the construction of field hospitals”, Mr. Khoa said.
