However, Case 151, who was earlier given the all-clear,
tested positive again on April 28, according to the national steering committee
for COVID-19 prevention and control.
She is the wife of Case 207. Both were previously discharged from hospital and
quarantined at home for an additional 14 days. However, when her husband was
found to relapse into the disease on April 27, she was immediately sent to the
COVID-19 hospital in Cu Chi district of Ho Chi Minh City.
Although the test result on April 27 showed that she was negative, another test
on the next day indicated she was positive again.
Among the 270 cases, 130 are imported cases and have been quarantined upon their
arrival in Vietnam. As many as 221 of all the patients have fully recovered.
Of the 49 patients still under treatment, 11 have tested negative for the novel
coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 once and eight negative at least twice.
Meanwhile, 42,057 people who have close contact with confirmed patients or
returned from other countries are currently kept in quarantine, including 323 at
hospitals, 6,643 at other quarantine facilities and 35,091 at home./.
