Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has undergone 17 days of partial lockdown, but the result has not been as effective as intended.
Both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are considering the worst-case scenario to have well-prepared plans for it.
The move is in line with the highest levels of restrictions in Vietnam including shelter-in-place order.
The majority of the daily cases were found in Ho Chi Minh City, the epicenter that accounts for approximately 61% of the country’s caseload.
Today, Vietnam begins its massive vaccination program that will last until April 2022.
The possibility of imposing stricter restrictions rather than Directive 16 is very likely.
Up to 75% of the country’s total infections were detected in the south which includes 19 cities and provinces.
