Reversing their earlier policy of sweeping lockdowns, Vietnamese garment factories will continue production this year despite record COVID-19 infections. As per a Daily Star report, unlike nine months ago, Vietnam has vaccinated over million of its factory workers. The country has been relaxing curbs in recent months with the government planning to lift restrictions on arriving international flights.
According to the Health Ministry, over 76 per cent of its population has been fully vaccinated. The American Chamber of Commerce in Hanoi anticipates a better 2022, says Adam Sitkoff, Executive Director. The government has already set a target of 6.5 per cent economic growth in 2022. Smooth factory operations in Vietnam will also help free up supply chain bottlenecks.
