The two patients were released from the Cu Chi field hospital after 20 days of treatment.
"Patient 224" is a Brazilian man, 39, residing in Thao Dien. He was a roommate of "Patient 158" at the Masteri apartment complex. "Patient 158" is among those infected from a party at the Buddha Bar on March 14.
"Patient 236" is a 26-year-old British woman who also lives in Thao Dien and went to the Buddha Bar party on March 14. She was in contact with a person later diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus.
The two patients will be kept under medical monitoring at home for another 14 days.
After the latest discharges, the number of Covid-19 patients at the field hospital, established in February, has come down to two, and the city’s total to three.
HCMC has gone 13 days without recording a new infection, while Vietnam as a whole has done so for four days.
