Three Covid-19 patients in northern Vietnam have been infected with an Indian mutant of the novel coronavirus, marking the nation's first community transmissions with this strain.
The patients in Vinh Phuc Province contracted the virus from a group of Chinese experts over the weekend. The virus has been identified as the B.1.167 variant, a "double mutant" strain.
This marks the second time that the B.1.167 strain has been found in Vietnam but the first among community transmissions.
