The situation in Vietnam

The only two nCoV-infected cases in Vietnam involved two Chinese patients who are being treated in Cho Ray Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. However, great news came in recently as one of them was reportedly cured from nCoV: Li Zichao, 28, received a negative result from his third test on Jan 27. Meanwhile, his father Li Ding, 66, was free from fever since Jan 25 and is under continuous treatment.

No nCoV-related deaths were recorded in Vietnam since the original outbreak. Out of a total of 97 suspected cases nationwide, 65 came out negative to nCoV while 32 people are currently quarantined. On top of that, 43 cases showing no signs of sickness are still being closely monitored under quarantine due to their contact with those suspected.

Many nations are focused on the fight against the coronavirus globally, and Vietnam is no exception. The Vietnamese government introduced strict temporary measures to prevent any potential infection within the country.
