New wave of Coronavirus hits Vietnam
When the whole world was struggling with the coronavirus pandemic. Then there was not a single corona case in Vietnam for more than 100 days. No Covid-19 related death was reported. Nor did any local transmission case come up. But for the last one week, mysterious infection of Coronavirus has been spreading in Vietnam. Doctors and scientists from Vietnam and around the world are worried about it.
The first case came from Da Nang, Vietnam. Here a 57-year-old man became ill with the new Covid-19 infection. He was placed on the life support system. Suddenly, reports of such cases started coming in five hospitals of the country.
In a week, the infection cases of this new coronavirus have been reported in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and two states. Even in remote mountainous regions of Vietnam, cases of this new mysterious coronavirus infection are coming.
So far, about 450 people have fallen ill due to this new mysterious coronavirus. However, the government of Vietnam is saying that it has made a lot of efforts to stop this new virus.
Not only Vietnam, Japan, China, Australia and South Korea also saw an increase in coronavirus cases on Wednesday, 29 July. On Wednesday, 295 new cases were reported in Australia’s Victoria province.
There were fewer cases of corona virus in Hong Kong for several months, but like Vietnam there too, 100 people fell ill in a day due to the new wave of corona virus. Hong Kong officials said that ‘now we have stood on the cusp of a large-scale community transmission.’
In Vietnam where 9.5 million people live, there was not a single death due to coronavirus. But now the condition of people is getting worse due to this new wave of coronavirus. Scientists and doctors are very alarmed. Because the new infection looks more dangerous than the old one.
Vietnam has sent about 80 thousand domestic tourists back to their cities. The city airport has been closed after several cases of new coronavirus infection in Da Nang’s hospitals.
Given the spread of the new wave of Coronavirus, the government of Vietnam is preparing to take a decision on the stringent restrictions. It is possible that the lockdown will be re-imposed in many states and cities of Vietnam soon.
