Authorities in An Giang Province are tightening monitoring of the local borders as two Vietnamese were found to have Covid-19 after crossing the border illegally from Cambodia.
The couple does not have the usual symptoms and are in stable health.
An Giang authorities proposed to transfer the couple to An Phu District Medical Station for quarantine and treatment, disinfect the vehicles, the border gate and the checkpoints.
Nguyen Thanh Binh, chairman of An Giang People's Committee praised the border guards and locality authorities for their quick response. He then asked the health department to build a field hospital in Chau Thanh to avoid cross-infection at local hospitals.
The border guards were asked to strictly follow preventive measures and close the border gate after 6 pm.
An Giang authorities are investigating whether the couple had been in contact with anyone else.
On April 15, Vietnam reported 21 new Covid-19 cases including five in Ben Tre, two in An Giang, five in HCM City, one in Thai Nguyen, seven in Danang and one in Bac Ninh. All were quarantined on arrival.
