The nation also hasn’t listed any deaths concerning the coronavirus.But the renewed outbreak in Vietnam underscores the problems governments face in comprising the fast-spreading disease. That is true even for a nation that was globally hailed as a possible model for other developing nations in handling the coronavirus outbreak.The Vietnamese government’s internet paper VGP stated on Monday that preliminary epidemiological investigations revealed a number of the new cases found in Danang were connected to three associations in town. Genome analysis also demonstrated that “that is a brand new sort of Covid-19, which can be more contagious,” explained Acting Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long.Authorities have tightened containment steps in Danang, like stepping up contact tracing, restricting crowd sizes and stopping non-essential services. Flights to and out of town also have been briefly suspended.On Wednesday, Vietnam reported new cases from its two largest cities — Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City — that were attributed to individuals who visited Danang at the past couple of weeks.Reuters, citing city police, reported around 18,000 individuals who visited Danang returned to Ho Chi Minh City and yet another 21,000 went home to Hanoi.Authorities at Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, said Thursday they will run mass testing of their 21,000 inhabitants who lately returned in Danang, reported Reuters. The town also arranged pubs to be closed and prohibited big collecting, according to the report.Resurgence in AsiaVietnam isn’t the only Asian nation or land facing a new jump in the amount of supported Covid-19 cases.Hong Kong’s chief, Carrie Lam, on Wednesday warned that the town is on the cusp of a large scale outbreak that may overload its health-care centers and price lives.
