The 16th coronavirus (Covid-19) patient is treated at a clinic in Vinh Phuc Province
Director of the Vinh Phuc Provincial Department of Health, Nguyen Thanh Hai, on Tuesday announced that they hoped to release the last Covid-19 patient from a local hospital soon as he has fully recovered.
"The 50-year-old man tested negative for the virus in two latest tests," Hai said. "We're going to carry out one more health check-up today and if his conditions remain stable, he will be discharged in a couple of days."
The man is the father of a 23-year-old female worker Nguyen Thi Du who was discharged from hospital on February 10 after recovering from the virus.
He lived in the same house with his daughter since she returned from a training course in China's Wuhan City on January 17 until she was hospitalised on January 25.
The man was also quarantined and his health was stable until February 11 when he felt tired. And he then tested positive for the virus the next day.
Earlier, the worker had also transmitted the virus to her mother, younger sister, aunt, and a neighbour, who all have recovered.
This is the 16th coronavirus infection case in Vietnam to be successfully treated.
The country have reported no more case since February 13.
