The hospital’s director Phạm Ngọc Thạch said all of them were in stable conditions. "Most of the patients were in a panic at first. Along with treatment, we needed to encourage and help them meditate. After they tested negative for the first time, they cooperated better with us," said Doctor Trần Văn Giang from the Department of Viruses and Parasites.
