HCM City reports highest infections at 94 over previous six hours

Ho Chi Minh City, the second worst-hit locality in the latest coronavirus wave recorded 94 out of 149 new COVID-19 cases detected during the six hours to midday on June 28, said the Ministry of Health.

Among the newly-detected domestic infections across the seven localities, HCM City  accounted for the most at 94, Binh Duong (32), Bac Giang (12), Bac Ninh (4), Nghe An (2), and one each in Hoa Binh and Danang, of which 137 were recorded in quarantine facilities or sealed off areas.

Most of the domestic cases in Ho Chi Minh City came into contact with confirmed patients or are associated with previous outbreaks, while the cases occurring in other provinces are either F1 contacts of infected patients or were detected in locked down areas relating to industrial parks.

In addition, the Ministry of Health also confirmed three more imported infections positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Kien Giang province, thus bringing the overall number of imported cases to 1,772.

Among the patients currently receiving treatment, 647 have since tested negative at least once for the virus.
