05 May 2021 10:29PMHANOI: Vietnam has extended the quarantine period for anyone arriving in the country to three weeks, authorities said Wednesday , following a fresh community COVID-19 outbreak.

The nation has so far kept case numbers low - recording just over 3,000 cases and 35 deaths - thanks to strict quarantine measures and extensive contact tracing.But Vietnam reported its first community outbreak in weeks last Thursday, and other clusters have since emerged. Several cases have been linked to people who tested positive after their two-week stay in hotel quarantine had ended.

"The Ministry of Health has decided to extend the period of mandatory quarantine for people who have made close contact with COVID-19 patients and people who have entered Vietnam," said health minister Nguyen Thanh Long.
