The country has so far confirmed 271 cases tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2, including 219 recoveries and no deaths.
The committee’s treatment subcommittee reported that 12 patients tested negative for the virus once and nine others tested negative twice or more.
A total 27,409 people having close contact with patients or coming from pandemic-hit countries are under quarantine at hospitals, concentrated quarantine areas, or at home.
The Company for Vaccine and Biological Production No.1 (Vabiotech) of the Ministry of Health has gained initial success in studying a potential coronavirus vaccine.
Right after the first COVID-19 case was reported in Vietnam in January 2020, the company partnered with the UK’s Bristol University to conduct research on the vaccine.
Blood test samples on mice will be sent to the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology for evaluation.
