Vietnam says new COVID outbreak threatens stability

Measures to avoid the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Hanoi
Sun, 9 May 2021, 10:20 pm


HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam reported 102 new COVID-19 infections on Sunday as the Southeast Asian country battled a fast-spreading outbreak which Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said threatened political stability if not brought under control.
The new cases raised the total to 3,332 since the pandemic began, with 35 deaths, the Ministry of Health said.
Vietnam has been praised for its record in containing its outbreaks quickly through targeted mass testing and a strict, centralised quarantine programme.

But a new outbreak emerged late last month and has spread rapidly in the country, infecting 333 people in 25 cities and provinces, including the capital Hanoi, and leaving around 10 hospitals under lockdown.
"The risk for the outbreak to spread nationwide is very high," Chinh said on Sunday. "We need to deploy stronger measures to curb the outbreak.
"If the outbreak spread nationwide, it would affect political stability, people's health and the National Assembly and People's Council elections, and the consequence would be unpredictable."
Chinh said coronavirus infections in neighbouring countries has put pressure on Vietnam, adding that illegal immigrants were among the prime sources of the virus.
Of the 102 new cases, 92 were transmitted locally, the health ministry said.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — After over a month with no local infections, Vietnam has recorded 176 confirmed coronavirus cases from several outbreaks that have spread to 19 provinces during the past 10 days, the Health Ministry said.
The National Hospital of Tropical Diseases in Hanoi, which has been at the front line treating COVID-19 patients, has been sealed off after a doctor, two nurses and more than 20 patients tested positive earlier the week.
Meanwhile, the city’s K hospital, which is designated to treat cancer patients, also closed Friday after 11 cases of COVID-19 were found.
“The situation is alarming because we are having multiple outbreaks scattered across the country with unclear sources of transmission and multiple variants of the virus,” Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said during a government meeting broadcast on national television VTV on Friday evening.

In the 19 provinces and cities with COVID-19 cases, schools have been closed and classes moved online.
In Hanoi, authorities urged people to refrain from gathering while city parks and food stalls were closed. In southern Ho Chi Minh City, gatherings of more than 30 people were banned starting this weekend. The city has also closed bars, clubs, gyms and buffet restaurants.
Meanwhile, a 35-year-old nurse died of a sever allergic reaction after receiving a shot of AstraZeneca on Friday evening, the Health Ministry said.
According to the ministry, over 700,000 people including health workers, contact tracing officials, police and army officers have been inoculated with the AstraZeneca shots, the only vaccine in use in Vietnam.
Since the start of the pandemic, Vietnam has recorded 3,137 confirmed cases with 35 deaths.

HANOI, Vietnam -- After over a month with no local infections, Vietnam has recorded 176 confirmed coronavirus cases from several outbreaks that have spread to 19 provinces during the past 10 days, the Health Ministry said.

COVID-19 Stages Another Comeback in Vietnam
A recent spate of community transmissions is likely to delay the country’s planned resumption of international tourism.

For most of 2020, as the novel coronavirus embarked on its deadly global migration, Vietnam enjoyed a place among the world’s most successful nations in containing the spread of the virus.

As of April 29, the country’s health authorities had reported just 2,910 cases of COVID-19 and 35 deaths overall, one of the best records in Asia, owing to its quick response to a series of outbreaks. As a result, it was the only nation in Southeast Asia to record a positive growth rate over the course of the pandemic year.

However, the Vietnamese government’s plans for a gradual economic opening now appears under threat, with a small but worrying spate of community transmissions.

On April 29, the nation recorded its first locally transmitted case of COVID-19 in 35 days, prompting a tightening of controls and new testing campaigns in several regions of the country, the same day that the World Health Organization warned that Vietnam not to relax its vigilance against the contagion.

In total, Vietnam has now reported 34 cases of community transmission in this current cluster, in the northern provinces of Ha Nam, Vinh Phuc, and Hung Yen as well as in the cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Two more cases, one in Hanoi and one in Da Nang, were announced today.

Likely the first of many, given that this spread of community transmission coincided with the annual four-day weekend for Reunification Day (April 30) and May Day (May 1), which saw resort towns like Da Lat, Vung Tau and Nha Trang packed with holidaymakers.

More concerning than the spread of these cases is the fact that they have been linked to overseas arrivals who have tested positive even after completing a mandatory two-week quarantine, suggesting the presence of COVID-19 strains with longer incubation periods. Among these were a Vietnamese man returning from Japan and a group of Chinese nationals.

According to Vietnamese media reports, the most recent case involved an Indian national who tested positive for an infectious new strain of the coronavirus after arriving in the country and completing a two-week quarantine in the northern city of Hai Phong, during which time he tested negative twice.

The government has responded by ordering that those currently in 14-day quarantine must remain in isolation after their period of confinement ends. The government has also announced that the mandatory quarantine period will be extended by a length to be determined in the coming days.

Vietnam’s mini-outbreak comes as Southeast Asian nations are besieged by new surges of COVID-19, among them Vietnam’s neighbors Cambodia and Laos, which also evaded the worst of the disease during the pandemic’s first year.

Cambodia has been struggling to hold back the disease since late February, prompting a strict and controversial lockdown in the capital Phnom Penh. Despite this, the country recorded another record of 938 cases, in addition to two deaths, today.

Laos has likewise introduced a two-week lockdown of its capital, banned international flights, and sealed its borders. This week, Vietnam also stepped up patrols along both nations’ borders in order to prevent COVID-19 being carried into the country by people crossing the porous frontier illegally.

Vietnam’s outbreak is still modest compared to most of the region, let alone India or Brazil, but is nonetheless likely to delay Vietnam’s plan for a staged opening of the country to international tourists.

The country had plans to resume international tourism between July and September of this year, focusing first on the popular beach and golf resorts around Danang. If successful, this would have put it on pace to open fully to international tourists during the last quarter of 2021.

These plans are now on hold, ensuring that the ban on foreign tourist arrivals that was imposed in March 2020 will remain in place for some time to come. (Currently, Vietnam only allows select categories of foreigners to enter the country, including high-skilled workers and those with diplomatic and official passports.)

While Vietnam’s communist government can be expected to respond to this latest outbreak with its typical ruthless efficiency, the outbreak functions as a reminder – if one was needed amid Southeast Asia’s alarming third wave – that COVID-19 doesn’t rest, and doesn’t need a big opening to wreak havoc.

That is internal travel, aka 内循环. The CCPee will only let you see what they want you to see. And even if the 2nd wave happens, you think CCPee will let the whole world know ?

U r wrong.

If I was wrong all the countries that kept infection rates low when the virus first reared its head would be on the home straight by now. Instead they are all facing a huge resurgence. All that lockdowns do is kick the can down the street which does absolutely nothing to defeat the virus.

So it's much better to let the virus spread n let natural selection take its course like the Spanish flu?

A combination of vaccinations and natural herd immunity will quell the spread in no time at all.
If hydroxychloroquine was used property from the beginning as Trump was touting it....would this virus b over by now? N it seems the vaccinations for now is abit overhyped
