The hospital was the site of a cluster of COVID-19cases when a new outbreak hit Da Nang City in late July.
In a letter sent to the Vietnamese community in Italy, the Italy – Vietnam assistanceassociation praised Vietnam’s efforts in controlling the pandemic.
It noted that at the initial outbreak of COVID-19, Vietnam recorded only 415cases of COVID-19 and no deaths. This success was attributable to the Government'sappropriate and timely preventive measures and communication work.
However, after almost 100 days without any locally-transmitted cases, a newwave of COVID-19 began on July 25 from the central tourist city of Da Nang, itnoted.
The association decided to launch a fund-raising programme to support Da Nanghospital to overcome the challenging time./.
