A health worker disinfects arriving COVID-19 patients at the national hospital of tropical diseases, in Hanoi, Vietnam, on July 29, 2020.Vietnam, virus-free for months, was bracing for another wave of COVID-19 infections on Wednesday after state media reported new cases in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and the Central Highlands linked to a recent outbreak in the central city of Da Nang.
That record is now under threat following an outbreak last weekend in Da Nang, where tens of thousands of domestic tourists were vacationing thanks to discounted travel deals. Prime Minister Phuc said tourist hubs throughout the country had to step up vigilance, and that Da Nang must go under “strict lockdown”, VTV said.
One of the cases, now in Ho Chi Minh City, first developed symptoms in Da Nang as early as June 26, the health ministry said.
