This infected case is a 33-year-old woman, currently staying at residential area No. 10 in Con Dao district and has been fully vaccinated with two doses of Covid-19 vaccine.
Previously, on November 10, this woman traveled from Con Dao to Trang Bom district (Dong Nai), then moved to Thuan An city (Binh Duong) to work as an employee at a karaoke bar. There was a case of Covid-19 infection there, so at noon on November 12, this person went to Ho Chi Minh City to take a plane back to Con Dao.
On November 18, she went to the Con Dao District Military Medical Center to get a sample tested, and on the morning of November 20, the Ba Ria - Vung Tau Provincial Center for Disease Control gave a positive result for SARS-CoV-2.

After detecting the first Covid-19 infection, the authorities locked down the infected area, traced 34 F1 people, 48 F2 people and took samples to send to the Center for Disease Control of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province for testing.
With this positive case, Con Dao is the only "green zone" in Ba Ria - Vung Tau to record Covid-19. After the locality returned to the "new normal" state, the island district welcomed about 1,000 people, including visitors following the "travel bubble model", personnel working at construction sites and projects, and people stranded on the mainland who came to the island by plane.
To date, 95% of the population in Con Dao district aged 18 and over have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and students aged 12-17 have also received their first dose of the vaccine.
