On 14 June, the disease had spread to hospitals, industrial parks, and residential neighborhoods, with approximately a thousand cases reported; the city therefore had to maintain social distancing for another two weeks. In the past week, Vietnam's average new cases dropped by a third compared to earlier in the month when 14,000 were being recorded daily, the health ministry said. [31][32] This is one of the most serious outbreak due to slow tracing process, mismanagement in quarantine facilities and people starting to ignore lockdown rules after long period of restrictions.

Around the industrial park, there are hundreds of motels, markets and entertainment facility. 3 (25-yr-old female) was quarantined and cured in Thanh Ha Province, while the other two cases (#4: 29-yr-old male; #5: 23-yr-old female) were hospitalised in Hanoi.

The Ministry of Health determined that the possibility it was a positive case was very high. But as the outbreak has spread around the world, it has become more . On January 4, Hanoi CDC returned the test results of the remaining 5 people, including patient 1498. Wuhan, China, in December 2019, can be transmitted from human to human. Speed up the completion of the new Kien Giang General Hospital and using the old provincial general hospital as a field hospital if the epidemic becomes more severe. [168], As of 28 October, Vietnam has not found any new cases of community transmission. [283] Among the cases are 40 members of the mission, who had gathered in a small alley in G Vp District several times.
