Hanoi sets up treatment facilities to treat mild COVID-19 cases

The past few days has seen Hanoi record a remarkable increase in the number of new infections, most notably reaching 1,000 cases on December 13. Localities are therefore asked to promptly launch mobile medical stations in a bid to receive, quarantine, and provide treatment to COVID-19 patients following guidance from the capital and the Ministry of Health.

Hoan Kiem district may be a small area but it has a high population, meaning the selection of mobile medical stations is not an easy task, according to Le Phuong Hoang Yen, chairman of Trang Tien ward’s administration.
