The Ministry
of Health on February 26 decided to allow the Hue
Central Policlinic and the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Tropical Diseases to
perform tests for SARS-CoV-2 that causes the ravaging acute respiratory disease
(COVID-19).
This brings the total establishments allowed to do the job to six in the
country, and the ministry is considering to let others do the same in the time
to come so as to make it around 30.
The ministry has been ordering its affiliates to make thorough preparations in
terms of material infrastructure, equipment, personnel and chemicals so as to
cope with the COVID-19 epidemic. Besides, it has also asked relevant ministries
to stand ready to provide support in case of need.
So far, Vietnam has conducted tests on 1,320 samples, with 16 coming out
positive and the rest negative for the virus./.
