Two British men and one Vietnamese woman at the Da Nang Hospital were discharged after making full recovery Friday, bringing the national tally of discharged patients to 20.
Health certificates and quarantine transference documents have been given to the three, said the Da Nang Hospital deputy director Nguyen Thanh Trung.
Upon their discharge, the three were transferred directly to several quarantine locations, where they would be quarantined for the next 14 days. One patient, a 28-year-old Vietnamese woman, would be quarantined at her home in central Da Nang City's Hai Chau District under the supervision of the Da Nang Center for Disease Control. The two British nationals aged 60 and 66 would be quarantined in a hotel in Son Tra District.
The three patients were announced to have recovered in accordance with the Ministry of Health's protocols on Thursday, after testing negative for the coronavirus at least thrice in a row.
The two British citizens were on Vietnam Airlines VN54 flight flew from London and landed March 2 in Hanoi. At least 16 people on that flight have been confirmed to be infected with the Covid-19 virus, including a flight attendant.
