Since the pandemic broke out in the country in early 2020, the country has reported over 11,557,969 cases. Among the total infections, 10,620,576 were given the all-clear, while 43,188 died of the disease.
To date, the country has administered 266,207,930 doses of vaccines against COVID-19.
As the number of COVID-19 infections in Vietnam has continuously increased recently, the Ministry of Health has kept asking localities to speed up vaccination for people in high-risk groups.
Health experts recommend people, besides getting enough COVID-19 vaccine doses, need to comply with disease prevention and control measures, such as wearing masks and disinfection, especially during the Hung Kings death anniversary, National Reunification and May Day holidays.
