Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam said the world has recorded nearly 335,000 COVID-19 infections and over 14,600 deaths in 192 countries and territories so far .

In Vietnam, there have been 121 COVID-19 infectious cases up to now, of which 17 cases were cured, 10 cases confirmed first and second negative, 4 cases were severe.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, a few dozen cases of COVID-19 can be found every day, but those won't not be a worry if found in quarantine areas. "The infection in our community will deserve to worry everyone" Mr. Dam emphasized.

“We predict the worst situation of 30,000 affected cases happen, so the initiative and prepared measures and solutions have to be taken sooner than the recommendations of WHO and other countries”, Mr. Dam said.

Since Europe's outbreak, the United States has received thousand entries of flights and people from epidemic countries and regions. These immigrants had traveled across many localities and contacted with thousands of Vietnamese people, so once a case detected would cause many difficulties track related risk group of infection.

In addition, although it has been actively propagandized to limit returning Vietnam from overseas repatriations, more Vietnamese people still want to return Vietnam to receive its good treatment as well as disease-well-controlled achievement. Many people among may have been infected and cause overload of quarantine facilities and treatment unless everything is well -controlled.
