HANOI: Vietnam was back on high alert for the novel coronavirus on Saturday after medical officials in the central city of Danang detected what appears to be the first local COVID-19 case in the Southeast Asian country for three months.

Test results for 103 people connected to the patient all returned negative for the virus, the statement said. Late on Friday, authorities in Hanoi reinstated a recommendation to wear masks in public places as Vietnam's benchmark VN Index closed down 3.22 per cent.
