HANOI Vietnam will accelerate its vaccine rollout in COVID-19 hotspot Ho Chi Minh City and build more field hospitals, authorities said on Thursday, as it battles a worsening wave of infections driven by the virulent Delta variant.
After successfully containing the virus for much of the pandemic, Vietnam has been facing record daily increases in infections since late April.
The health ministry said in a statement it will simplify procedures in order to speed up vaccinations in Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam s business hub and largest population centre. It is aiming to administer at least one shot to 70% of the city s 9 million residents over the next month.

Vietnam’s capital Hanoi urged its citizens to stay at home from Monday and ordered a halt to many non-essential services due to new clusters of Covid-19 infections in recent days, city authorities said on Sunday.

The city, which had already halted indoor restaurant service and closed salons as well as gyms, also stopped rail and bus passenger services to and from provinces in the south which have seen the biggest increases, Reuters is reporting.
