Twelve people, including a Czech citizen, have been put in isolation in the
Vietnamese city of Da Nang and are under observation for the new
coronavirus, the Vietnamese news site Tuoi tre news wrote on Sunday.
According to the website, the people are being monitored in the city’s
hospital as they all have fevers and have been recently in contact with
high-risk subjects.
A spokeswoman for the Czech Foreign Ministry said the man was hospitalised
for preventive reasons, adding that he is in contact with the Czech Embassy
in Hanoi.
A pneumonia outbreak, caused by a new strain of the coronavirus family was
