An injured drunken man admitted to a hospital in India allegedly stole an used personal protective equipment (PPE) kit, thinking that it was a raincoat, and later tested positive for COVID-19 infection.

Personal protective equipment sent by the Vietnamese National Assembly as humanitarian aid was sent to medical institutions in the Atyrau region of Kazakhstan to assist the fight against COVID-19 in the Central Asian country.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) on June 6 collaborated with the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (DSMQ) under the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Vietnam Certification Center (QUACERT) and UNDP in Vietnam to organize a workshop with enterprises to enhance quality and production capacity of personal protective equipment (PPE) and supporting the export of PPE to respond to COVID-19.
