In the early hours of May 7, an abrupt lockdown mandate sealed off all three branches of the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital, commonly known as K Hospital, in Hanoi after a cluster of COVID-19 cases was discovered in the institution, effectively turning it into the country s biggest isolation zone during the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam.
The mandate came as a shock to both patients and staff at the hospital branches, leaving many patients without support or care after family members were locked out of the wards.
