The patient, aged 43, was confirmed having the virus in Viet Nam on March 19 after visiting the Buddha Bar which was subsequently identified as a COVID-19 cluster in Ho Chi Minh City.

He has suffered from a blood clotting disorder and “cytokine storm” syndrome and been totally dependent on a life support machine called Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (OCMO), according to the Ministry of Health.

As of 6 pm on Sunday, the total number of COVID-19 infection cases in Viet Nam remained unchanged at 288, of whom 241 have recovered.

The current 47 active cases are being treated at six central and provincial-level hospitals./.
