More than 4,000 people connected to the cluster were tested, with 18 of them found to be infected with the coronavirus. His case has garnered national interest in Vietnam, where the government has won broad support for its campaign to contain the coronavirus. The patient has just 10% of his lung capacity left and has been on life support for more than 30 days, Tuoi Tre said.
