In the past few days, more than 7,000 Nghe An citizens have returned through this transit point, in addition, 3,600 citizens from the northern provinces have passed through Nghe An province. It is expected that in the coming days, Nghe An will welcome about 10,000 more citizens returning to their hometowns to avoid the epidemic, not to mention people from other localities who will pass through the province. The most worrying thing now is that the vaccination rate of people returning from epidemic areas is very low. This is a potential risk factor for an outbreak in the community... Photo: Thanh Cuong
