Of these 20 patients were recorded in Da Nang, seven in Hanoi, two in Bac Giang and one in Phu Tho.

The new cases took the total number of domestic cases confirmed Wednesday to 82, with 18 recoveries.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam on Wednesday demanded authorities of Da Nang City and the northern provinces of Bac Ninh and Bac Giang to strictly prevent the contagion of Covid-19 in industrial parks. Such cases will disrupt the manufacturing and supply chains and will severely hurt the economy, he added.
