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

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

Leading health professionals have come to Danang to support the treatment of Covid-19 patients.

At present, some patients are in critical condition, including on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Until now foreign diplomats and experts are subject to self-isolation at home or indicated hotels when entering Vietnam.

Vietnam has been advised to keep vigilance on the epidemic as the situation is unpredictable.

The active cases are under treatment at 21 hospitals and clinics nationwide.

Six out of 11 the newly-detected cases are from Ho Chi Minh City.

The doctor at the National Hospital of Tropical Diseases in Hanoi has participated in the fight against the pandemic since the end of January.

The latest confirmed infection is the fifth in Hanoi.
