Deputy Director of the municipal Department of Public Security Col. Nguyen Sy Quang said violations in the case resulted in serious consequences, so the individuals and organisations concerned must be strictly punished.

Specifically, patient No 1,342, a flight attendant of national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, came into contact with patient No 1,325 at a quarantine site. After testing negative twice from November 15-18, he was placed under quarantine at a rented apartment in Tan Binh district.
While in quarantine, he met with his mother and two friends. Later, on November 28, he tested positive to the virus and became patient No 1,342. He also went to the HCM City University of Technology.
After collecting samples for testing from patient No 1,342’s close contacts, the municipal Health Department found that patient No 1,347, who is a friend of patient No 1,342, delivered lectures at the KEY English training centre in Tan Binh district from November 18 to 25 and at other branches in District 10, and also went to a café and a karaoke parlour in District 10.
