In Yen Minh District, the festival is held at the town stadium, with the participation of dozens of strong goats selected from local communes, including Bach Dich, Lao Va Chai, Na Khe, Mau Due, Du Gia, and Lung Ho.

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.
