Cases of COVID-19 infection continued to climb in Vietnam this week, with authorities locking down residential areas and industrial zones for disinfection, state media said on Thursday.
Officials in Cambodia transferred inmates from a provincial prison to slow the spread of the disease behind bars amid rising numbers of deaths in the country, while in Laos residents voiced concern over the safety of vaccines despite a rise in cases there.
In Vietnam’s capital Hanoi, two apartment buildings, Ho Guom Plaza and Booyoung Vina both located in the capital’s Ha Dong district were closed and disinfected after two residents were found to be infected, media sources said.
