HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): The capital of Hanoi has reason to be confident in its decision to send young children (grades 1 to 6) back to in-person learning despite them being in the unvaccinated age group, a city official said.

Nearly 1 million students in grades 1-5 (primary school) and grade 6 (secondary high school) in 30 districts – both urban and outlying – and townships across the city were allowed back to schools on Wednesday (April 6) after nearly a year spent almost entirely in online classes, in the latest step in the city’s plan to adapt to the Covid-19.
