The latest COVID-19 patient in Hanoi had visited a café in the Bui Vien area in Ho Chi Minh City when he tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the capital’s Center for Disease Control said in a report on Tuesday night.
The patient, 45-year-old N.A.S., is a notary who came into close contact with an infected patient at Notary Office No. 3 at 6 Duy Tan Street, Dich Vong Hau Ward, Cau Giay District, Hanoi on January 27, according to the center’s epidemiological investigation.
Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has sent many airlines spinning into financial ruin, and some will not survive the industry’s largest crisis.
However, there are still a handful of Asia-Pacific start-up airlines that are defying the bleak environment and persevering with plans to launch operations.
In Hong Kong, Vietnam, South Korea and Pakistan, new airlines are pushing ahead with their market entrances. In most cases the pandemic has delayed their plans, either due to disruptions to their own preparations, slower regulatory approvals, or changes to aircraft delivery schedules.
There is no doubt they are entering service during extremely challenging market conditions. However, they do have some advantages.
