For the fourth day running, not a single new case of Covid-19 has been detected in Viet Nam.

The total amount of people who have contracted the disease since the very first case in mid-January remains at 268.

Of those, 202 have made a full recovery and have been given the all-clear.

Although one of those cases, a 44-year-old woman from Ha Noi, has tested positive for the virus again. She is currently being treated at the National Hospital of Tropical Diseases.

Authorities are tracing people she came in close contact with after she was discharged from hospital.

Out of the total amount of cases detected so far, 160 are imported from another country, either carried through a foreigner visiting Viet Nam, or a Vietnamese citizen returning home.

The remaining 108 cases are all locally transmitted.

There are currently 66 people being treated in hospitals for coronavirus, mostly in Hà Nội.

Twenty of those have tested negative at least once.

As of Monday, nearly 63,000 people are being quarantined nationwide – at hospitals, concentrated quarantine camps, or in home isolation.

Globally, more than 2.4 million cases of Covid-19 were reported with 624,713 patients given all clear.
