HANOI, June 6 (VIetnam News/ANN): Children under five years old in Bac Giang who had close contact with Covid-19 patients can now be quarantined at home provided that all pandemic prevention requirements are met, according to an urgent notice from the health ministry to the northern province, which is being hard hit by the virus.

The notice, signed by deputy health minister Nguyễn Trường Sơn on Saturday, provided new instructions for medical quarantine for children under 15 years old in the northern province, which has become Vietnam’s biggest Covid-19 hotspot during the fourth wave of infections since late April.
