The graduation exam has been conducted under strict protocols against Covid-19 as the fourth wave of infections has seen serious evolution in many localities.

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Huu Do said the pandemic evolution was more serious this year than in 2020.

"If in 2020, fewer localities confirmed infected cases than this year. Therefore, the biggest concern is ensuring the health and safety of students and teachers, and the fairness of the exams," Do said.
