According to VnExpress International – Under the Health Ministry’s new Covid assessment criteria, 48 cities and provinces in Vietnam are safe zones and the remaining 15 are medium-risk areas.
The only two high-risk provinces from last week, Tra Vinh and Binh Phuoc, both in the south, have had their Covid-19 risk level drop. Tra Vinh is now a safe, or low-risk area, and Binh Phuoc is medium-risk.
Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi have remained safe areas since last week.
Regions classified as having low coronavirus risks will see most of their services and businesses resume, including non-essential ones like bars, dance clubs and massage parlours.
The Health Ministry last month adjusted its risk assessment system, with a greater focus on treatment capabilities and less on case count. Vaccination coverage is another factor
