Of them, 23 cases were in Thanh Xuan district, four in the outlying district of Thanh Tri, and each one in Hai Ba Trung district and Thuong Tin outlying district.
Since April 29, Hanoi has recorded 3,614 infection cases, including 1,569 cases in the community and 2,045 in quarantine establishments or locked down areas.

As of September 6, the city administered 2.4 million vaccine shots, or about 35 percent of its total population.

In the coming days, it will accelerate vaccinations when more vaccines are available, targeting those with chronic diseases, those aged above 65, and women with over 13 weeks of pregnancy.

In compliance with an official dispatch issued Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Chu Ngoc Anh, the city will conduct mass testing for all residents from September 6-9.

Accordingly, those living in locked-down, quarantine and extremely high-risk areas will be tested every 2-3 days. Others in high-risk areas will have samples collected every 5-7 days to "filter out" COVID-19 cases from the community.
