Vietnam has jailed a man for five years for breaking strict Covid-19 quarantine rules and spreading the virus to others, state media reported.
Le Van Tri, 28, was convicted of “spreading dangerous infectious diseases” at a one-day trial at the People's Court of the southern province of Ca Mau, the state-run Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.
“Tung travelled back to Ca Mau from Ho Chi Minh City [...] and breached the 21-day quarantine regulations,” the news agency said.
“Tung infected eight people, one of whom died due to the virus after one month of treatment,” it added.
