HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Health has ordered relevant agencies to help the Việt Nam-Germany Friendship Hospital in transferring patients and relatives from the scene of Hà Nội's latest COVID-19 cluster.
On Monday night the Ministry permitted the Việt Nam-Germany Friendship Hospital to work with three local hospitals in Hà Nội to transfer patients and their relatives for treatment, providing they had tested negative for COVID-19.
The three hospitals are Thanh Nhàn Hospital, Hà Nội Medical University Hospital and Đức Giang Hospital.

The transfer of patients and their relatives must comply with regulations on COVID-19 prevention and control, the Ministry said.
The move aimed to reduce the number of patients and their relatives at the Việt Nam-Germany Friendship Hospital and will help the authorities put the cluster of COVID-19 cases that was first found on September 30 under control.
