So in the past 24 hours, only one case of Covid-19 was recorded. Yesterday, 4 patients were discharged from the hospital, bringing the number of recoveries to 90.

The number of suspected cases has also dropped sharply. As of the morning of April 5, the country had 1,268 suspected cases being quarantined in hospitals, compared to 3,736 cases yesterday. More than 69,000 people who had close contact with or entered the country from epidemic areas are being monitored for their health. Of these, more than 22,000 people are quarantined at home or at their place of residence. The remaining 45,000 cases are being quarantined in centralized facilities.

Four seriously ill patients being treated at the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases have shown improvement in health.

The aunt of "Case 17" has finished ECMO intervention (extracorporeal circulation system), only remaining on ventilator and blood filtration. She has underlying disease of vestibular disorder.

She is the only Covid-19 patient in our country to have had to undergo ECMO intervention. After many days of persistent treatment, coordinated consultation with leading experts and doctors at the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases, her health has improved. Notably, she tested negative for nCoV three times in a row on March 26, March 27 and March 29.

Three other critically ill patients have been taken off ventilators for several days and are practicing breathing exercises. They have tested negative for the virus multiple times.
