The Municipal Department of Health has just sent an urgent official letter to public and private hospitals, medical centers at districts and Thu Duc City, the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC) on proactively receiving and treating children with Covid-19 at hospitals.
The department said that the hospitals in the city have recorded numerous children with symptoms of fever, sore throat and cough but very few cases get severe symptoms in recent days.
