Previously, the Provincial People's Committee allowed service businesses such as beauty salons, massage parlors, dance clubs, karaoke bars, internet cafes, and electronic game centers in communes, wards, and towns that have declared Covid-19 epidemics from level 1 to level 3 to operate starting from 00:00 on April 8, 2022; when the Covid-19 epidemic is declared level 4, the above service businesses must stop operating. However, in addition to level 1 areas that are allowed to operate at normal capacity, areas with level 2 epidemics are only allowed to operate at no more than 50% capacity; areas with level 3 epidemics are allowed to operate at no more than 30% capacity.

According to Nghe An CDC, to date, the province has recorded more than 483,000 cases of Covid-19, of which Vinh City is the locality with the highest number of cases with more than 70,000 F0; the locality with the lowest number of cases is Que Phong district with 5,881 cases. Currently, most of the Covid-19 cases have recovered, only more than 3,000 F0 are still being treated. The province has also recorded 182 deaths from Covid-19. However, the actual number of infections may be much higher because people do not test or test positive but do not report.
