The risk of COVID-19 spreading widely in Vietnam is 'very high', its prime minister said on Friday, after a new outbreak in the central city of Danang late last month ended a three month run of no new domestic cases.

Aggressive contact-tracing, targeted testing and strict quarantining had helped Vietnam halt an earlier contagion, but it is now racing to control infections in Danang and beyond after a new outbreak was detected there on July 25. Vietnam reported 37 new coronavirus infections on Friday, raising the number of cases in the country to 784, with 10 deaths.
Broad restrictions are in place in the popular resort town of 1.1 million and a sports stadium has been converted into a 1,000-bed field hospital, to be used if hospitals are overwhelmed, or to isolate potential cases.
