The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has set up two additional makeshift COVID-19 treatment hospitals which focus on treating patients with mild symptoms.
The decision came after the number of cases in the city exceeded 3,000 and is expected to continue rising in the coming time, said Nguyen Tan Binh, director of the municipal health department.
One of the two new infirmaries was established at the dormitory of the Center for National Defense and Security Training under the Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh City, located in Di An City in neighboring Binh Duong Province.
