The Omicron variant of Covid-19 has come to Vietnam with the first three community cases found in Ho Chi Minh City on Tuesday.

 

The April 30th Police Hospital in District 5 said the patients had gone to a private clinic for treatment of running nose and sore throat.

 

After rapid tests showed them to be positive for Covid, the clinic sent their samples to the hospital for PCR confirmation tests where staff detected genetic abnormalities in the samples and sent them to the HCMC Hospital for Tropical Diseases for gene sequencing.
