On the same day, Vietnam held national consultation to seek the best treatment for the British pilot.

All new cases confirmed on March 11 are related to those who took international flights from or with stopovers in epidemic-hit countries.

The latest case was infected from two British visitors who took Vietnam Airlines' London-Hanoi flight.

Currently, Vietnam has suspended granting visa to citizens from China, South Korea, and Italy due to their increasing number of infected people.
