The document also states that, although the province has actively implemented the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic, with the super-contagious Delta variant, the epidemic is still complicated with many outbreaks in many localities across the province. In particular, many large outbreaks have appeared in people's markets, workers' hostels and some companies in the Industrial Zones of Long Binh, Song May, Long Thanh, Loc An - Binh Son, and Nhon Trach 2. In addition, several enterprises located outside the industrial zones with the number of workers from 10 to 30,000 people such as Pou chen Company, Chang shin Company have found many cases of COVID-19 infection. During the period July 10 to 17, 2021 only, the whole province had 319 new cases infected with Covid-19 as announced by the Ministry of Health. The risk of outbreaks and widespread spread in workers' dormitories, and production sites inside and outside the industrial zones in the province is very high.

However, this number of vaccines is still not enough for prioritized people for free according to the Government's Resolution No. 21/NQ-CP (Dong Nai has over 400,000 people in priority). Meanwhile, nearly 1.2 million people working in companies located inside and outside Industrial Zones who have been threatened by the COVID-19 epidemic but have not yet had any vaccine shots injected.
