Patients who have negative or positive test results with low virus levels (CT ≥ 30), have been sent to self-quarantine in their homes, which must ensure safety conditions. They will be given RT-PCR tests on day 14 and 21 of their home quarantine.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC), the number of COVID-19 patients discharged from hospital from July 24 has increased rapidly, averaging 1,800 to more than 2,000 each day.
