He had been previously injected with two AstraZeneca shots and tested negative for coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 before flying to Ninh Binh on October 31.
Right after arriving in Ninh Binh province, he was sent to a local concentrated quarantine establishment. He had a sample taken for COVID-19 testing and the result was positive to the virus two days later.
