At the time of the incident, it was mandatory for all citizens to self-isolate for 21 days upon entering Ca Mau from other provinces.
Tri then tested positive for Covid, along with his family and staff members at a local welfare centre he visited.
After a one-day trial, Tri was sentenced to five years jail time and fined the equivalent of £630.
"Tri's breach of the home medical quarantine regulation led to many people becoming infected with Covid-19, and one person died on 7 August 2021," the court report stated.
Until recently, Vietnam has been largely successful in combating the virus. But due to the growing threat of the Delta variant, the country saw a surge of cases in April.
In response, the newly-elected prime minister, Pham Minh Chinh, has ordered mass testing for citizens and deployed soldiers to enforce the quarantine orders implemented as the largest city, Ho Chi Minh, went into lockdown.
"We understand the difficulties that businesses and the people face, so we could strive to bring the country back into a new normal," the PM said in a public statement on Sunday.
The Chinh government aims to bring down the surge in cases by 15 September.
