On the afternoon of May 4th, during a meeting of the Hanoi Covid-19 Prevention and Control Steering Committee, Ms. Tran Thi Nhi Ha, Director of the Hanoi Department of Health, announced that one new positive case has been recorded, a doctor from a central hospital.
According to Ms. Ha, this suspected case is very complex, as it involves significant movement and numerous close contacts (F1) scattered across various districts, including: Dong Anh, Ba Vi, Dong Da, Tay Ho, and Hoang Mai.
“This person resides in Ba Dinh District and has been to karaoke at Moonlight Karaoke, 54 Chua Lang Street (Dong Da District) from around 10 PM to midnight on April 29th.
