Deputy Health Minister Nguyen Truong Son said the 37-year-old man from the Central province of Quang Tri was receiving treatment at the Quang Tri hospital for TB and lung disease when he tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on August 9.
He was moved to the COVID-19 treatment center in Hue Hospital on August 10 due to debilitation, weighing only 30kg.
Doctors attributed his death to serious pneumonia caused by COVID-19 in a patient with diabetes type 1, long-time debilitation and heart failure.
