HÀ NỘI — Two Vietnamese women repatriated from Kuwait are the latest people to test positive for COVID-19.

The pair both arrived in Việt Nam on June 18 on a repatriation flight from Kuwait and, along with all passengers onboard, were immediately quarantined.

They are being treated at the National Hospital for Tropical Disease in Hà Nội.

To date, 330 patients have recovered, accounting 93 per cent of the 355 total reported cases.
