Since the first case of community transmission in more than months was detected on July 24, Vietnam has reported an additional 30 infections, including four health workers.
Most of the cases are linked to three hospitals in Danang namely Danang Hospital, Danang C Hospital, and Danang Orthopedic and Physical Rehabilitation Hospital.
So far, the sources of the first community transmission in Danang remain unknown. It is believed illegal immigrants brought the virus into Vietnam.
The return of Covid-19 in the community leaves Vietnam on high alert. From July 28, the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam under the Ministry of Transport has stopped all flights to and from Danang dor 15 days.
From July 28, downtown Danang has been put under lockdown, including three hospitals.
An estimated 80,000 inbound tourists have left Danang, one of the well-known tourist destinations in the country, over the past few days.
