DESPITE a worrying spike in new daily Covid-19 infections and amid growing fears over the new Omicron variant, Vietnam's government is pushing ahead with its gradual plans to reopen the tourism-reliant economy as much as possible over the next few months.
The country's health authorities reported 14,591 new cases on Monday (Dec 6), the highest number in a single day since Sep 3. The 7-day rolling average was 13,830 new cases on Dec 1, higher than the peak of the last wave in September.
