Her condition continued getting worsening with bacteria and fungus infection. Despite the intensive treatment, she did not improve with consecutive fevers.
On April 29, she was taken to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases and tested positive for Covid-19 on May 5. The woman was then provided with other drugs and ventilators, among other treatments. She, however, did not respond well to treatments.
The patient fell into septic shock and died on Thursday night.
Since late April, Vietnam has recorded more than 3,500 Covid-19 cases, including 12 deaths.
