Collecting samples for COVID-19 testing
Most of the cases were documented in quarantine or lockdown areas, said the MoH.
Ho Chi Minh City, the country’s second largest coronavirus hotspot, registered 65 cases of the total. More than half the cases tested positive after having close contact with COVID-19 patients, and 19 cases were linked to the outbreak at Tan Phu Trung industrial park.
The city has decided to establish two more field hospitals to receive and treat COVID-19 patients as the number of patients is expected to rise in the coming days.

The People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City is working on a dossier seeking UNESCO’s recognition for the tunnels.
Located in Tan Phu Trung and Phuoc Vinh An communes in Cu Chi district, about 70km from downtown HCM City, the tunnels were built by local residents and soldiers using simple tools from 1946 to 1968 as shelters from US and Saigon troops during the war.
Initially, they dug only short sections with simple structure to hide documents, weapons and resistance members. The tunnels were gradually connected and extended into a system which by 1965 had a combined length of about 200km of underground trenches arranged in three floors. The deepest floor is about 8-12 metres under the ground.

Cu Chi Tunnels site seeks UNESCO’s recognition When people think of the most modern and crowded city in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City first comes to mind.
But the city, the country s largest, also has a great deal of historical value related to the wars of resistance against the French and American aggressors to offer interest to tourists as well as locals.
One of the most fascinating destinations is Cu Chi guerrilla warfare tunnels, located about 70km from downtown HCM City.
Built by South Vietnamese liberation forces as shelter from US and Sai Gon troops during the war, the site is known over the world, but even many locals have yet to visit the tunnels.
