HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam on Saturday confirmed five more cases of the coronavirus, including a British, a Czech and three Vietnamese citizens, bringing the country’s total cases to 53.

Cases have been found in several cities across the country, including the capital Hanoi, the business hub Ho Chi Minh City and some cities in northern and central Vietnam, the Ministry of Health said in a statement.

Vietnam has 53 confirmed cases of the disease caused by the virus and 94 suspected cases under quarantine. There are 16 cases of patients who have recovered, it added.
