At least 1,355 people have now died nationwide and nearly 60,000 have been infected after Hubei's health commission reported the new numbers.
According to Vietnam News Agency, among the 15 confirmed cases in Vietnam, seven have recovered. The latest case, who is also the youngest recorded so far, is a three-month-old baby from Vinh Phuc’s Binh Xuyen district./.
