The case in Hai Duong is very likely to be transmitted back and forth with patients who have gone to Japan (one person infecting another). Because, before boarding the plane, the patient to Japan was negative, but to Japan was positive. The case of the patient who went to Japan is also a community case and where it was transmitted is not clear.

In this case, because the patient is a worker who comes into contact with a lot of people, the spread is very high.

The important thing now is not to let the disease spread into the hospital. If the disease enters the hospital and infects a high-risk group, having an underlying disease will be very dangerous. In the community, the immediate thing to do is to locate and find people who are in close contact with the patient. As with Da Nang and HCMC before, it is now necessary to find the next cases.

For the people, it is necessary to raise the spirit of vigilance. When there is a case in the community, all close contact must be considered as a risk of disease because we do not know if the person in contact with us is a person with Covid-19 or not.
