They were sent to quarantine at a hotel in Cam Lam district in central Khanh Hoa province upon their arrival, and tested positive for the virus on November 26. They recovered on December 25.
After being given the all-clear, they were quarantined at a hotel in Loc Tho ward, Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province, and completed quarantine on January 7. During the quarantine period, both tested negative for the virus twice.
However, they tested positive again on January 10 while living in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.
After learning about the relapse cases, the Vietsovpetro Medical Centre under the joint venture has promptly disinfected the areas where the two had visited, and conducted contact tracing.
