Numerous alarming factors, including multiple outbreaks, coronavirus variants and lax mentality have all contributed to Vietnam s ongoing fourth Covid-19 wave, experts said.
After spending around a month with no new community transmission, on April 27 Vietnam saw its streak broken after a hotel employee in the northern Yen Bai Province got infected from a group of Indian experts quarantined at the hotel.
Two days later, six local cases were recorded in northern Ha Nam Province, stemming from a man who finished his mandatory 14-day quarantine period after returning from Japan, but neglected self-isolation protocols and passed on the virus.
