Northern Hai Duong Province, biggest hotspot in Vietnam's latest coronavirus outbreak, recorded two Covid-19 cases Saturday evening, raising its community transmission tally to 717 in over a month.
Both patients are employees of Taiwan-owned Vietnam Poyun Electronics Co., Ltd. in Chi Linh Town. They had close contact with previously confirmed patients and have already been quarantined following contact tracing.
Their test results Friday confirmed they were positive for the virus. Both are being treated at a local field hospital.
