A Covid-19 quarantine area in Binh Duong Province
Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee on Tuesday evening said that they have asked police in Thuan An City to seek a Chinese man, whose name has not been disclosed, after he escaped from a local quarantine area the same afternoon.
The man cut the metal bars on the window of his room and fled on the afternoon of March 9, the committee said.
According to a police report, the man was detained at a local casino after he failed to show identification documents.
He was sent to Thuan An Healthcare Centre for a 14-day quarantine for Covid-19 prevention following regulations by the government. However, he had only stayed for 10 days when he left.
The man had tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 in his first viral testing.
Earlier on February 18, two other Chinese men, 20-year-old Ly Dong Jie and 32-year-old Xu Wei, also fled the Di An City Healthcare Centre after staying for nine days for Covid-19 prevention.
