Vietnam has brought under control the recent coronavirus outbreak in the community after the virus recurred in Hai Duong province three months ago. No new locally transmitted cases have been detected during the past few weeks.

However, relevant agencies have constantly confirmed infections returning from epidemic hit countries like the US, Russia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines and India.

The number of deaths caused vby COVID-19 and related illnesses remains at 35.

All the latest cases are Vietnamese citizens who entered the nation from Japan, Singapore, and Russia.

In the morning the same day, two Indian experts and four Vietnamese nationals were also confirmed positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Among the country’s active patients, a total of 40 cases have since tested negative for the virus, with the majority of them recording several negative results.

As many as 39,191 individuals are currently in isolation undergoing medical monitoring across the nation.

At present, the country has seen 2,490 recoveries from the COVID-19 disease, while the death toll remaining unchanged at 35.

The Ministry reported that a total of 108,897 frontline workers nationwide have received the COVID-19 vaccine as of 4 p.m. on April 21.

Furthermore, to prepare for future COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, the Department of Health of the central highlands province Dak Lak have organised a training course aimed at ensuring safety during the vaccination process for 90 healthcare workers based in the locality.

Nguyen Trung Thanh, deputy director of the provincial Department of Health, said that Dak Lak has so far received 15,700 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, with the province set to launch its inoculation scheme from April 27 to May 7. This will involve three priority groups, including people working at healthcare facilities and those involved in pandemic prevention and control across the province.

Meanwhile Can Tho International Airport welcomed two flights on April 21 which brought back Vietnamese citizens from Taiwan (China), with the group quarantined in line with regulations set out the Ministry of Health.

The Hoa Vang field hospital was originally founded on July 31 with the aim of offering treatment to patients who test positive for the novel coronavirus. Indeed, the site was the first field hospital launched in the central city of Da Nang after the virus resurged in the locality on July 25.

Along with the Da Nang Hospital for Lung Diseases, the Hoa Vang field hospital served as a key treatment destination for positive COVID-19 patients from the city, many of whom were suffering from other underlying health issues such as chronic renal failure, hypertension, diabetes and multi-organ failure.

At the height of the outbreak, the Da Nang Department of Health also ordered local hospitals and healthcare centres to send doctors, nurses, and medical workers to the site. Most notably, doctors from Hanoi’s Bach Mai Hospital and Ho Chi Minh City’s Cho Ray Hospital were also dispatched to support their colleagues at the field hospital.

During its run, the hospital has treated over 250 positive COVID-19 cases simultaneously. The last patient was discharged on September 23.

At present, Da Nang has gone 33 days free of locally transmitted cases.
