Vietnam was back on high alert for the novel coronavirus on Saturday after medical officials in the central city of Danang detected what appears to be the first local COVID-19 case in the Southeast Asian country for three months.

But on Friday, Vietnam’s health ministry said in a statement that a 57-year-old man from Danang, a popular tourist hotspot, had tested positive three times for the virus, prompting the isolation of 50 people he came in contact with. The health ministry has not officially confirmed the case as COVID-19, which comes at a time when Vietnam was about to resume international commercial flights and as domestic tourism is surging.

Late on Friday, authorities in Hanoi reinstated a recommendation to wear masks in public places as Vietnam’s benchmark VN Index closed down 3.22%.

45 chinese guys were illegally entering vietnam weeks ago and staying at the same area. What did they bring to Vietnam?

I gotta say. Asian countries have dealt with a lot of pandemics. They don't argue about masks. I see people wearing masks if THEY are sick. We need to do that from now on. Wear a mask if you are kinda sick. Wear a mask until C-19 is over.

Vietnam has 1 positive case in the past 100 days and they go on high alert? What the fuck are we doing here in the US? We are a disaster.

OMG!! SOMEONE GOT A FEVER!!! LOCK IT DOWN!

So sorry Vietnam
