Experts suggested stepping up mass screen testing as up to 60 percent of cases in the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak have displayed no symptoms.

Vietnam will not complete mass vaccinations by the year’s end, so it is necessary to strictly follow the 5K message, especially mask wearing said Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam at a meeting of the National Steering Committee on Covid-19 Prevention and Control on Monday.

Thanks to drastic efforts in isolating pandemic-stricken areas and contract tracing, COVID-19 clusters in Hai Duong and Quang Ninh have been basically put under control, said Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, who is head of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control.
