Due to their dishonesty, offices and buildings in Ha Noi have been put under lockdown, including the Emergency Department of Viet Nam - Russia Friendship Hospital, the building of Jewelry Company in No. 91 Dinh Tien Hoang Street and the Center Point Building in No. 27 Le Van Luon Street.

So far, nearly 200 people who had contacts with the two from May 2-12 have been identified with two tested positive for the virus on May 12. 

After returning from Da Nang, T and his wife took health checks at Thu Cuc General Clinic in Cau Giay district, however they were refused due to an epidemiological factor travelling from Da Nang. The couple then went to work, as well as visited many places in Ha Noi and the northern province of Bac Ninh, participated in various conferences, met a lot of people and played golf.

On May 12, due to coughing and sore throat, the couple went to the Viet Nam-Soviet Friendship Hospital to get a checkup. They were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and were announced as patient BN3633 and patient BN3634 by the Ministry of Health.

Earlier, people returning to Ha Noi were subject to compulsory medical declaration after the four-day public holidays lasting from April 30 to May 3, according to a document on COVID-19 prevention and control work issued on May 2 by the Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee./.
