According to Van Hoa, Tran Van Quyen (1989), from Hanoi’s Ba Dinh district, is among the three lastest violators. On January 28, Quyen’s post on his Facebook account says “The pandemic recurrs just as Tet is so close.

Can’t imagine how many F2, F3 will be infected from him”. Tagged on the post is a photo of the patient’s travel history.

On the same day, Nguyen Thi Thuy (1994), from Ha Dong ward also posted on her Facebook account claiming “Patient 1553’s night at the karaoke parlors has been disclosed to the whole country, even foreign countries. Poor the women being with him at the karaoke. They must be feverish”.
