HCMC – A 48-year-old woman in Hanoi who had recovered from Covid-19 has tested positive again, according to Khong Minh Tuan, deputy director of the Hanoi Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

The patient, who resides in the capital city’s Dich Vong Hau Ward, Cau Giay District, is the wife of the 1,866th Covid-19 patient.

The woman was identified as the country’s 1,958th Covid-19 patient and was discharged from the hospital on February 27. She was self-quarantined at home until she tested positive for Covid-19 again.

Earlier on February 24, another woman who also lives in Cau Giay District tested positive for Covid-19 again after her treatment from January 30 to February 20.

Up to now, Vietnam has reported many recovered coronavirus patients testing positive again, but none of them caused community transmission after recovery.

Vietnamese boxer gears up for world title shot

Hanoi (VNS/VNA) – Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi will have to wait till April for her chance to become the first Vietnamese world female boxing champion after her fight was delayed.

Instead of being dismayed, the pint-sized boxer has taken the delay as an opportunity to sharpen her technique to prepare for her date with destiny.

The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) agreed to move the mini flyweight (48kg) title defence between Thu and Japanese boxer Etsuko Tada to April, about two months after it was scheduled to be held.

The delay was needed as Tada could not travel to Vietnam in February due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the second time that the bout was postponed after being originally scheduled for last April in the Republic of Korea.

“It is sad that it was delayed again while I am in good mood and preparing well for it,” Nhi told Vietnam News.

“However, thinking again I told myself that I would have more time to sharpen my skills and improve my tactics. It may help to increase my chances of winning,” she said.

Nhi is Vietnam’s first WBO Asia Pacific Boxing champion after taking the title last February in Cambodia. She won on points after defeating Kanyarat Yoohanngoh of Thailand in a 10-round fight.

The 25-year-old lacks international experience in contrast to seasoned pro Tada who has fought for more than a decade and grabbed a number of titles.

“The Japanese fighter is really strong and a senior in this field compared to me,” Nhi said about her 39-year-old opponent. “But I also have my strong points. I am younger and confident. It is okay if I unfortunately lose in a match that I do my best. Then I will fight again in another match until I can win.”

“My coaches said my technique is fairly good so they asked me to spend more time on my physique because Japanese athletes have strong physique. Tada is 39 but she could knock out her rival in the ninth round.”

Nhi is training at the Cocky Buffalo Boxing Gym in HCM City under Republic of Korean coach Kim Sang Bum.

Kim, in contrast to the style of the bombastic American, was guarded when asked about the title fight.

“The postponement is someway not good for Nhi because she was preparing to get to her best in February. Now with the sudden delay, she will have to adjust for the change including her spirit. The more she believes the better result she would get,” Kim said.

“Her opponent, who is stronger and more experienced, will also have more time for the fight. She is also confident and can fight any time. I told my athlete to keep training and be comfortable but focused.”

Kim said Nhi cannot compare to Tada in some aspects but the Vietnamese fighter is very agile and has a good mind for boxing.

“The chance to win for Nhi is about 70 per cent. I think if she follows our tactics plus her confidence, winning is possible,” said Kim.

Southpaw Tada beat ex-WBA titleholder Ayaka Miyao to take the vacant WBO title last December.

Previously, she held this WBO belt in 2018, held the WBA title from 2009 to 2013 and the IBF crown from 2015 to 2017.

While Tada has recorded 26 matches with 20 wins (seven KOs), three draws and three losses, Nhi has fought four matches with four wins. A milestone in her career was a victory over three-time world champion Filipino Gretchen Abaniel at the Victory 8 Championship in 2018 in HCM City.

“My biggest push for this match is to be the first Vietnamese boxer to vie for a world title. If I win, I will make history for Vietnam,” said An Giang province-born Nhi./.

PM praises lorry driver who saved girl who fell from tower block in Hanoi

March 2, 2021 by en.nhandan.org.vn

Around 5:30pm on February 28, an unattended girl climbed over the balcony of her flat and hung on the outside of the building.

Witnessing the scene, residents in the opposite tower screamed for help and, just a few seconds later, the girl’s hand slipped and she fell.

At that moment, Manh, who was waiting for his customer on the ground, noticed the emergency and quickly climbed to the roof of the lobby and caught the falling girl.

The girl fortunately only suffered minor injuries and was immediately admitted to hospital while Manh’s action has been receiving plenty of praise on social media.

In his letter, Prime Minister spoke highly of Manh’s swift and brave rescue effort and asked the relevant agencies to honour the 31-year-old lorry driver so that his example of kindness and responsibility can be spread throughout society.

Earlier, Manh received a letter of praise from Hanoi Party Secretary Vuong Dinh Hue and a reward from Hanoi Chairman Chu Ngoc Anh for his good deed.
