Insurance activities are only allowed in case of assessment, preparation of compensation records, and settlement of insurance benefits for customers.

Air ticket offices and private clinics are also allowed to operate.

Shippers have to be managed by technology platforms, and transport essential goods between districts and Thu Duc city in the form of contactless payments.
