HANOI -- Vietnam said Wednesday it will end its nationwide social distancing measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus, except in some districts of Hanoi, after reporting no new cases for seven straight days.

The restrictions on business and other activities imposed on April 1 will be largely eased from Thursday, according to a national steering committee for COVID-19 prevention.
