Chickenpox outbreak spreads in Hanoi

Hanoi has logged 548 new cases of chickenpox so far this year, with the most recent 70 infections recorded just this week, according to statistics from the Hanoi Center for Disease Control (CDC). In the outlying district of Chuong My, the local medical center had reported five clusters of 237 chickenpox cases as of March 21. However, as chickenpox cases tend to surge between February and June, parents should ensure their children are vaccinated and that their children’s play areas are kept clean.
