Those places had since been closed.Vietnam has so far recorded 1347 coronavirus cases, 655 of which it said were imported. The country has reported an average of five of those cases a day recently.It has effectively closed its borders to combat the coronavirus but has allowed some business travellers and those with foreign expertise to enter on special flights provided they undergo quarantine.AdvertisementMonday's case came days after the health ministry warned of a new outbreak among the community as the cold season has begun."The COVID-19 situation remains complicated," Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said last week."The disease has returned in many parts of the world in winter time."ReutersOur Morning Edition newsletter is a curated guide to the most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
