Locals and tourists in Da Nang have started wearing masks, sanitizing their hands and checking their temperature after a man tested positive for Covid-19.
After Vietnam had gone 99 days without a single case of community transmission the Ministry of Health on Friday said a 57-year-old man in Da Nang City had tested positive with the novel coronavirus four times. He went to Da Nang C Hospital coughing and feeling tired on July 22, and was diagnosed with pneumonia. Doctors then tested him for Covid-19 four times, and each time he was positive. The result of a fifth test by the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Hanoi will be known Saturday. Da Nang C Hospital has been locked down since noon yesterday.

Relatives of people staying in the hospital bring food and other things to their loved ones. Many have to wait for a long time under the scorching summer sun to hand over the things they bring. Others write recipients’ details on packages and hand them over to security men, who all wear face shields and masks.
