"As they are South Korean, we also consider their dining habits to give them suitable food," the staff said. "They have lived in Vietnam for a long time so many of them enjoy local food. There are two children who will be given milk and rice gruel following parents' wish.

The Viet-Tiep Friendship Hospital also previously quarantined nearly 400 people who come from virus areas in China.
