Daily COVID-19 caseload continues to rise with over 26,000 new infections

The Health Ministry confirmed the detection of 26,487 COVID-19 cases on February 11, an increase of 448 cases compared to the previous day, pushing the national infection tally since the start of the pandemic to over 2.45 million cases.

Hanoi remains the locality recording the highest number of infections with 2,908 cases, followed by Nghe An with 1,501 and Hai Duong with 1,447.

Among the latest infections, a total of 8,768 fresh infections were detected within the community.

The Health Ministry also confirmed a further 6,075 recoveries on the same day, thereby bringing the total number of recovered cases so far up to 2,212,669.

During the latest wave that hit the country in late April, more than 2.45 million cases have been confirmed and over 2.2 million of them have since recovered.

The nation’s COVID-19 death toll now stands at 38,784, or 1.6% of total cases following the confirmation of 96 fatalities over the past 24 hours.

The average number of new cases in the country over the past seven days has been more than 20,000 a day, while the national death rate has been an average of 91 each day.

At present, a total of over 184.86 million COVID-19 vaccine shots have now been administered throughout the country, including more than 166.87 million among the adult population.

During the past three days, the nation has continued to see a growing number of new COVID-19 infections, with a record figure of over 20,000 per day being recorded.

However, under the terms of the Health Ministry's new COVID-19 assessment criteria, 48 cities and provinces nationwide can be viewed as safe zones, with the remaining 15 being medium-risk areas.

The only two high-risk provinces from last week, Tra Vinh and Binh Phuoc, both in the south, have seen their COVID-19 risk level drop.

Furthermore, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi remain as safe areas, the same as was the case last week.

Regions classified as having low COVID-19 risks will see most of their services and businesses resume, including non-essential ones like bars, dance clubs, and massage parlors.

The Health Ministry last month adjusted its risk assessment system, with greater focus on treatment capabilities and less on the overall infection tally.
