The women received treatment at a general clinic in Binh Xuyen district of the province. They are the first two COVID-19 patients to be successfully cured at a district-level medical facility.
The 42-year-old woman is a relative of and had close contact with a female worker of the Nihon Plast company in Binh Xuyen Industrial Park of Vinh Phuc. This worker was tested positive for the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 after she and seven colleagues had returned from a two-month training course in China’s Wuhan city, the centre of the epidemic.
The other case is 29 years old and she was in the same group of Nihon Plast workers returning from Wuhan.
Earlier on February 18, two other COVID-19 patients were discharged from the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Hanoi. They are a 29-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman, both from Vinh Phuc province.
So far, Vietnam has confirmed 16 cases of COVID-19 and not recorded any new patients since February 13. Among them, 11 have been discharged from hospital./.

Letters That Carried Nation’s Destiny
One of the most heroic chapters in our nation's history is the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country in the 20th century. Miraculously, we can witness this through letters, handwritten and typewritten ones, from General Secretary Le Duan to commanders and leaders in the South. These letters conveyed top-secret orders, supreme directives, political viewpoints, theoretical discussions, and even combat tactics. They were also imbued with the camaraderie of comrades-in-arms, the solidarity of compatriots, and the heartfelt sentiments of a son of Vietnam. These letters were later compiled into the anthology “Thu vao Nam” (Letters to the South), bearing unique and exceptional value for future generations.
