On August 11, he tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently being treated at the capital’s National Hospital for Tropical Diseases.
Health officials are also trying to track and trace people who visited the Lộc Vừng bar in Tứ Hiệp Commune, Thanh Trì District, which is run by the man’s daughter.
Meanwhile, the other 13 people to test positive are all from Đà Nẵng City.
They are aged between 26 and 83 years old and had been either treated at Đà Nẵng Hospital, or came into close contact with people or family members who have tested positive.
