HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam on Wednesday entered the first day of a 15-day nationwide social distancing campaign to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of Wednesday morning, Việt Nam had reported 212 infections. One of the five latest cases is a worker at Trường Sinh Company which provides catering services for Bạch Mai Hospital, and a female cook in Long Biên District who was in contact with the 163rd patient. — VNS
