Man From China Diagnosed with COVID-19 after Clandestine Entry to Vietnam, Identified Before Causing Community Infection.

The Vietnamese government announced a confirmed case of COVID-19 from a Chinese who enter the country illegally. The local police arrested the 27-year-old man, who entered northern Vietnam with seven other compatriots on the 27th of last month and travelled to Ho Chi Minh City by car, upon arrival and sent to quarantine. He was confirmed a confirmed case on the 12th of this month after nucleic acid tests.

According to VnExpress, the Vietnamese government announced 18 new cases on July 14, including a Chinese illegal entrant who crossed the border from northern Vietnam with seven other people on July 27. They went to Ho Chi Minh City on a three-day car ride. Police found him and arrested the day after, then took him to the city's District 7 Hospital for quarantine and test, where he was finally diagnosed with COVID-19 on 12 August and is currently being treated at Cu Chi Field Hospital.

The Ho Chi Minh City Disease Control Unit said it was fortunate that the case was discovered in time; otherwise, this person would have become a source of infection and spread the virus in the community. As of Sunday (16th), Vietnam reported a total of 962 confirmed cases and 24 deaths. This illegal migrant is case #912.

The epidemic has led the Vietnamese government to close the border since March this year, but incidents of illegal entry of foreigners continue to occur. 152 illegal entrant has been arrested since May, mainly Chinese (72%), followed by Cambodians.

There are no unanimous conclusions for US Epidemic Traceability Report, reprimand China for refusal to share information and block investigation

The report was published on 27August (Friday) and written by 18 intelligence organisations. Four of those organisations believed the virus is from the natural contact between human and infected animals, however this conclusion was only in “low credibility”. There is another intelligence organisation which has a “medium confidence” believed the virus is relevant to the laboratory. That is, concluding the virus “could be” the infected animals naturally infect the human beings and relevant to the laboratory. The report has also analysed the virus is not from biochemical weapon; Chinese officials are lack of foresight about virus will cause a “global pandemic”.  
The report stated, the department cannot get the conclusion, or the conclusions only have low to medium confidence, which is because of the rejection of sharing important information from China has interrupted the investigation. In which, it cannot get the conclusion unless there are more new information. US President Biden emphasized, US will continue the suppression to China before they get the answer. He also indicated that the significant information is showing the start of pandemic is from China, “But from the beginning, the Chinese officials have already interrupted the international investigation and global public health organisation to gain the information”.
