All 16 people in Vietnam infected with a new coronavirus have been cured, the health ministry said on Tuesday, adding that no new cases have been recorded since February 13.

The last known patient, a 50-year-old man infected by his daughter who returned from China’s central city of Wuhan, where the virus first emerged, has recovered and is in good condition, the ministry said in a statement.

The rest, including a three-month-old baby, is improving, the ministry added.

Vietnam’s first report of the virus was about two Chinese citizens infected on January 23.
