Kidney failure is the common cause of coronavirus casualties in Vietnam.

All the casualties in Vietnam had chronic diseases that weakened their immune system.

The new infections keep Danang at the top among localities hit by Covid-19.

The Ministry of Health has assigned four medical establishments to conduct rRT-PCR test for about 70,000 Hanoi residents who have returned from Danang.

Of the fifteen volunteers, two are health workers and two foreigners.
