The hospital, located in Hanoi’s outlying district of Dong Anh, has been put under 14-day lockdown, starting May 5 after a doctor was found infected with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
About 400 employees of the hospital are being quarantined there.
During the lockdown, the hospital, which was once the frontline facility in the pandemic fight, will admit only new COVID-19 patients.
The Ministry of Health said the pandemic cluster at the hospital originated from its inpatient treatment ward./.
