Vietnam has recorded its first death from Covid-19 after winning plaudits worldwide for one of the most successful national responses to the pandemic, according to Reuters.
The country of 96 million had gone 100 days without infection before an unexpected cluster of new cases of unknown origin surfaced in the popular central resort city of Danang a week ago.
The health ministry on Friday reported 82 new infections, 26 of which were imported, marking the Southeast Asian country's biggest single-day jump.
