Bach Mai Hospital, considered an "epidemic hotbed", has temporarily stopped receiving patients and quarantined the entire hospital, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. The decision was made after the hospital recorded two new Covid-19 cases, "patients 168" and 169. They are hot water delivery staff, who were found to be positive for Covid-19 after screening nearly 5,000 people at the hospital. All nearly 1,000 patients being treated here will not be discharged to the community until they test negative.
