School facilities implicated as ‘high risk’ during a brief re-emergence of COVID-19 in Ho Chi Minh City in early December are back in operation after two weeks of closures.
In late November and early this month, Ho Chi Minh City confirmed four new cases of COVID-19 community transmission, which broke Vietnam s streak of 88 days without a single infection in the community.
Contact tracing on the four cases, labelled Patient 1,342, 1,347, 1,348 and 1,349, found hundreds of people at risk after contacting the infected, which in turn led to the shutdown of several schools to negate further threats of transmission.
