\u00a0Stay vigilant as Vietnam’s community cases remain on the rise<\/h3>\n

For the 1st time in a month, Vietnam has started to record double-digit COVID-19 caseloads again. Our medical authorities are fighting COVID-19 on all fronts, given a jump in the number of infections and the illegal returnees along the border.<\/p>\n

Let’s do what we can to protect ourselves and communities, by keeping masks on while in public at all times and avoiding gatherings.<\/p>\n

These simple steps will help us stay vigilant and monitor the situation as it continues to unfold.<\/p>\n
