The Hanoi Center for Disease Control on Wednesday morning reported eight new suspected COVID-19 cases linked to a fresh cluster whose source of infection has yet to be identified.
All of these cases are traced to a cluster at T&T Group in Hoan Kiem District and the Park 11 building in the Times City urban area in Hoang Mai District.
The individuals include two men and three women aged 21 to 58 and three children aged four to ten.
Although they have all tested positive for the novel coronavirus, only six of them have been confirmed as COVID-19 patients by the health ministry.
The six were coded patients No. 5,932 to 5,937.
