Highest-Ever

Vietnam has confirmed five-digit daily infections in 12 consecutive days.

Vietnam reports nearly 2,000 Covid-19 infections in the last 24 hours, two-thirds of which were detected in Ho Chi Minh City.

The health minister said the infections would be on the rise in the coming days.

All the newest infections are linked to several hospitals in Danang, the locality of the first local infection outbreaks after more than three months.
