VIETNAMESE authorities have halted international commercial flights after the nation reported its first local coronavirus cases in almost three months, reported Bloomberg.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, who exempted flights bringing Vietnamese home, instructed the Ho Chi Minh City government to trace those who came in contact with those who tested positive, the government website said.
The local government has isolated 513 people after three patients tested positive for the virus, according to a separate government website posting.
A one-year-old boy and a 28-year-old female student were infected after coming in contact with a male teacher who tested positive. The male teacher earlier had close contact with another virus patient who left a quarantine area.
Premier Phuc directed provincial governments to enforce social distancing 'in high risk areas' in a reasonable manner so as not to hurt businesses and production activities, according to the website.
