HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam’s health ministry on Thursday confirmed its first two locally transmitted COVID-19 cases for nearly two months.
The latest patients include a support staff worker at Van Don international airport who was responsible for taking infected passengers from abroad to COVID-19 quarantine facilities, and a Vietnamese national who tested positive on Wednesday for the UK variant after arriving earlier in Japan, the health ministry said.
