Pandemic improving in HCMC

The number of daily Covid-19 cases and the infection rate in Ho Chi Minh City have both fallen significantly. Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam suggested that the city gradually allow production and business activities to enter into a “new normal” after vaccination rates are achieved. The city has completed disbursing the first support package for those affected by the pandemic, with a total cost of over VND700 billion ($30.52 million), and is implementing the second package, with a total cost of more than VND900 billion ($39.24 million).
