The Department recommends that units and schools proactively adjust their study and outdoor activity schedules accordingly. Accordingly, units and schools need to regularly update information on air quality and monitor the VN_AQI index at monitoring stations in the city at the website: http://moitruongthudo.vn/.

The Hanoi Department of Education and Training recommends that units and schools limit organizing outdoor activities for students during hours and days when air quality is at the "Bad" level or higher.
