(ĐN)- Dong Nai is seeing a slightly rising caseload due to the new contagious sub-variants Omicron BA.4 and BA.5.
The province has recorded four cases of infection with the sub-variant BA.5 of Omicron in recent days.
According to the Department of Health, corresponding to the increase in the number of new COVID-19 cases, the number of severe cases also tends to increase.
Nguyen Huu Tai, Deputy Director of the Department, said that vaccination would be very important for dealing with COVID-19 and reducing health risks for people who get the disease.
Getting booster shots restores immunity against the disease, as vaccines gradually wear off over time, especially in high risk groups such as children, the elderly and people with underlying conditions.
After Dong Nai recorded cases of the new Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variants in July-end, the number of people getting their third and fourth jabs has been rising.
