Dr. Nguyen Van Dinh - Director of Nghe An Province Center for Disease Control said that on the morning of June 13, Ha Huy Tap Ward Health Station, the Center received a case of NTM in contact with F0 in Huong Son District, Ha Tinh Province. Immediately after receiving the information, Vinh City Health Center conducted investigation, monitoring, and sampling.

The investigation results are as follows: Case NTM, born in 1999, works as a hairdresser. At 7:30 a.m. on June 5, NTM met the elderly patient in front of his house in Dai Vuong village, Son Phu commune, Huong Son district, Ha Tinh; stood and talked for about 20 minutes; while talking, he did not wear a mask. At 8:00 a.m. on June 5, NTM traveled from Huong Son to Vinh city to work. At 7:00 p.m. on June 5, NTM went to eat with 2 friends at a beer house in Ho Goong, Phan Dang Luu street, Truong Thi ward.

On June 7, NTM went to have breakfast at a noodle shop on Nguyen Sy Sach Street (address unknown); then went to work at 34 Ha Huy Tap. At 1:30 p.m. on June 7, NTM ate at a noodle shop at 32 Ha Huy Tap. At 2 p.m. on June 7, NTM went to a pharmacy across from the University of Economics and a grocery store on the side of the road next to the Yen Toan cultural house. At 7 p.m., NTM went to pharmacy 47, 42 Hai Thuong Lan Ong to buy medicine.

On June 8-9, NTM stayed in the room. At 4:30 p.m. on June 10, NTM went to Vinmart at 70B Ha Huy Tap Street; at 5:00 p.m. on June 10, NTM went to Cau Market to exchange gas cylinders and went to a grocery store near the market; at 5:25 p.m., NTM went to Son Baber Barber Shop to buy brown rice opposite Phong Toan Market and then went into the market... On June 11-12, NTM stayed in the rented room.

NTM has an extremely complicated travel schedule and relationships. However, so far, Vinh City Medical Center has only identified 3 close contacts: 1 case in Quynh Lam commune (Quynh Luu district); 1 case in Yen Thanh district and 1 case at No. 34, Ha Huy Tap street.

Currently, the authorities are asking NTM to declare his contact details. Due to complicated relationships, NTM has not declared honestly. In addition, the Ha Huy Tap Ward Health Station lacks the necessary hygiene conditions, and NTM has also come into contact with 2 people who are in quarantine with him.

Due to dishonest declarations, leaders of the Nghe An Department of Health and the Nghe An Provincial People's Committee had to ask for help from competent authorities specializing in information technology to determine the locations where NTM had been. The locations that the authorities identified were many locations that were very new compared to the declarations of NTM.
