Four people in Vinh Phuc cured of Codvid-19
Four out of eight confirmed cases of coronavirus in Vinh Phuc Province have been tested negative after treatment.
According to the Ministry of Health, the patients can be released when they do not have a fever for at least three days, basic symptoms disappear, lung X-ray results show improvements and blood tests are normal. They must also test negative for the virus twice and the samples must be taken one day apart.
"Two patients will be released in the next two days," Hai said.
The two patients are a 42-year-old woman. She is the aunt of a Nihon Plast Company worker returned from Wuhan. Another patient is a 29-year-old woman who is also a female worker returned from Wuhan. Other patients will be tested further to ensure that they are completely cured.
Vinh Phuc has the most coronavirus cases in Vietnam with 11 confirmed cases. Three of them have been cured and released on February 10.
The outbreak in Vinh Phuc started after a group of eight workers at Nihon Plast Company returned to Vietnam on January 17 after training from Wuhan. Six of them were tested positive to the virus. A 23-year-old worker directly infected five other people including four family members and a neighbour and indirectly infected a 3-month-old child.
Son Loi Commune, the heart of the outbreak, was quarantined. The authorities have to set up checkpoints around the commune to control the traffic.
On February 13, the Department of Health sent 150 health workers to 13 major communes in Binh Xuyen District. 96 people were sent to Son Loi Commune alone. A special team was set up work with the local authorities to control the outbreak.
The national steering committee to prevent and combat the acute respiratory disease caused by COVID-19 also set up a team to control the outbreak and another team to help with the treatment.
