medical monitoring or quarantine at hospitals, medical stations and at home.

Among 22 active patients, two have tested
negative for the coronavirus once while four negative at least twice.

According to the steering committee, Vietnam
has well controlled the disease, but there remains a high risk of the disease
breaking out again, in view of the complicated pandemic situation in other
countries.

and control forces to stay vigilant to deal with possible new situations.

prevention measures in the new normal state./.
