Before admission, the Hospital strictly implemented the screening process and took samples for testing for TVT patient and the result was negative for SARS-CoV-2. The Hospital arranged for the patient to be treated in Area 3 of the Tropical Disease Center. During the treatment, the Hospital continued to take samples on July 3 and 8, both with negative results... However, before discharge, on July 13, the Hospital continued to take samples and the result was positive for SARS-CoV-2.

The Director of the Department of Health also directed the Nghe An CDC to coordinate with the Yen Thanh District Medical Center to investigate epidemiological factors related to the patient.
It is known that the Tropical Disease Center of Nghe An General Hospital has always implemented very strictly, methodically and in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Health on patient classification and screening before admitting patients for treatment. In particular, the regulation that patients and their relatives before being discharged from the hospital, are absolutely not allowed to enter or exit the treatment area.
The continued appearance of positive cases is regrettable. We are confident that, with the strong direction of the Department of Health leaders and the active participation of the General Hospital, the epidemic will soon be controlled./
