HO CHI MINH (Vietnam News): Vietnam's most critically ill Covid-19 patient, a British pilot, came off life support on Wednesday morning (June 3), health officials announced.

Lương Ngọc Khuê, deputy head of treatment sub-committee of the National Steering Committee on Covid-19 Prevention and Control, said the condition of the 43-year-old, named Stephen Cameron, has made considerable improvements despite the fact that days ago, a lung transplant had seemed a likely recourse.
