Viet Nam detects COVID-19 variant combining Indian, British mutations

14:26 | 29/05/2021

VGP – Viet Nam has uncovered a new COVID-19 variant combining characteristics of the two existing variants first found in India and the UK, the Ministry of Health said on Saturday.

The new variant is very dangerous, stressed Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long at a national online meeting on COVID-19 held in the morning.

This is the eight strain detected in Viet Nam since the Southeast Asian country confirmed the first COVID-19 patient on January 23, 2020.

Other variants include a strain from China’s Wuhan; D614G from Europe, B.1.1.7 from the UK; B.1.351 from South Africa; B.1617 from India; B.1619 from Africa; and B.1222.

Viet Nam is experiencing the fourth wave of COVID-19 resurgence with 3,643 community infection cases in 32 cities and provinces since April 27, 2021.

The current wave features with fast transmission rate due to concurrent emergence of multiple outbreaks especially at industrial parks and multiple variants while patients suffer from more severe symptoms, said Nguyen.

As of mid-Saturday, the national caseload reached 6,713, including 2,896 recoveries and 47 deaths./.

15:06 | 31/05/2021

VGP – The Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam (CAAC) has announced temporary suspension of international flights to Noi Bai International Airport in Ha Noi from June 1 to June 7.
...
The move was introduced as part of the country’s ongoing efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier on May 27, the Authority announced suspension of international flights to Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City until June 6.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign arrivals to Viet Nam have been limited since March last year, thus local airports have only received inbound flights to bring Vietnamese citizens stranded overseas, foreign officials, diplomats, experts, investors and high-skilled workers to the Southeast Asian country.

Viet Nam is experiencing the fourth COVID-19 wave, with 4,163 community infection cases documented in 34 localities since April 27.

At a national online meeting on COVID-19 response on May 29, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh ordered greater efforts to quickly stamp out COVID-19 outbreaks in key hotspots like Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Ha Noi, and Ho Chi Minh City to ensure socio-economic development./.
