Police isolate a pizza restaurant on Tran Thai Tong Street in Hanoi over a suspected Covid-19 case, July 29, 2020.

Authorities have also drawn up a list of people who have had close contact with the suspected Covid-19 case, a 23-year-old man.

Details are still awaited, but around 10 employees have been told to wear masks and remain inside.

As of Wednesday morning, Hanoi has gone 107 days straight without any Covid-19 community transmission.

But the capital is at high risk of infection due to a large influx of people returning from Da Nang, now Vietnam’s biggest Covid-19 hotspot, at around 15,000-20,000, said Hanoi Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung Monday.

Chung has requested people returning from Da Nang since July 8 and had been to several locations associated with recent community transmission cases, including several hospitals and a conference and wedding venue, to self-isolate and inform themselves to authorities.

Vietnam has had 446 Covid-19 cases so far, 77 of them active.

A 99-day streak without local transmission ended last Saturday when a 57-year-old man in Da Nang was infected.

Since then 29 more cases have been reported in Da Nang and Quang Nam and Quang Ngai Provinces.
