"We believe the coronavirus fight to be an urgent and vital mission within the first quarter, because it won't end within the first six months, or even the entire year of 2021," Long told an online meeting with local authorities regarding Covid-19 prevention. Vietnam's Covid-19 wave since late January is noted to be more complex than previous ones due to the presence of the U.K. variant that is 70 percent more transmissible than normal strains, meaning more cases are recorded within a shorter time frame, said Long.

Brian Spence *Brian Spence The spectre of rising inflation haunts the Western world, very much blunting the joy over vaccine rollouts. In contrast, worry is building that Việt Nam is set to experience the opposite for the first time. Fears about deflation stem from the fact that consumer prices have been falling by about 0.2 per cent a month for almost half a year now. Year-over-year inflation didn’t even hit 1 per cent for the first month of 2021 when it had been over 6 per cent in the prior period. Signs of weakened demand, one of the prime causes of deflation, have been obvious. Everyone seems to be noticing how consumers aren’t buying as much as you would expect at present, defying the usual holiday season spending surge. Government figures suggest that growth in retail sales has halved from the pretty steady upticks of more than 20 per cent we’ve been seeing for a decade and more.

HCM City to relocate water supply sources amid worsening water pollution HCM City authorities plan to gradually relocate its water supply sources further upstream of the Sài Gòn and Đồng Nai rivers as part of its effort to ensure clean water for local use. Experts have warned that the current main source of water has become seriously polluted due to the impact of socio-economic development along the Sài Gòn – Đồng Nai river system.  The city currently draws some 94 per cent of the water for treatment at a spot downstream of where the Sài Gòn River meets the Đồng Nai River, at the Hòa Phú pumping station in its Củ Chi District, and at Hóa An in Đồng Nai Province.
