Covid-19-infected man prosecuted for fleeing from medical facility
A Covid-19-infected man has been prosecuted for absconding while being treated at a medical facility in the northern province of Vinh Phuc.
In July, Luu Van Son tested positive for Covid-19 after coming into close contact with a Covid-19 patient. He was then taken to a local field hospital for treatment. On July 31, he escaped from the treatment area.
He then got a ride from a man to Lien Bao Ward in Vinh Yen City.
However, just some hours later, the police caught him and brought him back to the hospital for treatment.
According to the police, Son’s violation cost around VND290 million (USD12,608) in time and resources to contact tracing activities.
