BINH XUYEN, VIETNAM - Villages in Vietnam with 10,000 people close to the nation's capital were placed under quarantine on Thursday after six cases of the deadly new coronavirus were discovered there, authorities said.

"As of February 13, 2020, we will urgently implement the task of isolation and quarantine of the epidemic area in Son Loi commune," said a health ministry statement."The timeline... is for 20 days".The health ministry previously said five people in Son Loi had been infected with the virus, and on Thursday reported a sixth case.

"Life has been badly affected," he told AFP by phone, adding that much of the labour force is reliant on jobs in construction and house painting."Now we cannot get out and even if we do, clients don't welcome us that much as before."
