In particular, large hospitals in Hanoi such as Bach Mai, National Children's Hospital, and Central Tropical Diseases recorded cases of dengue fever with severe development and epidemiological factors. These cases have been returning from the southern provinces after going on a business trip or traveling.
Through many cases of dengue due to epidemiological factors from the South, where dengue epidemic development is complicated, doctors recommended people to return from the south region when they have a sudden high fever, and pain. Physicians advised people with headaches, aches, and pains to go to a medical facility immediately for testing and timely diagnosis of dengue fever, to avoid dangerous complications.
