Ho Chi Minh City has been asked to work harder to impose restriction measures on the smallest possible scale so as not to prolong large-scale social distancing.
Vietnam’s national count of COVID-19 cases has crossed the milestone of 10,000 more than a month after the resurgence of the virus began in late April, wreaking havoc on multiple major industrial parks where thousands of factory workers have become infected.
Localities nationwide must conduct COVID-19 vaccination as scheduled and must absolutely avoid slow vaccination rollout, requested the standing board of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control during its meeting on June 18.
A total of 112 new COVID-19 cases, including 109 domestic and three imported, were recorded in Vietnam in the past six hours to 12pm on June 19, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has reported.
