The coming winter months, including the festive Tet season, may spark new Covid-19 outbreaks if people are not careful, the health minister warned Wednesday.

 

Addressing a National Assembly session, Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said that as Vietnam enters a "new normal" period the coronavirus is making a comeback in certain localities. Despite ongoing outbreaks, many people have been neglecting Covid-19 prevention measures like keeping distances, wearing masks or medical declarations, he added.

 

"Northern Vietnam is entering a cold period and Tet is near, meaning there will be many activities with large gatherings. We are worried about the risks of new Covid-19 outbreaks," Long said.
