Coronavirus: Isolated in a Vietnamese military base - BBC London

Three young women being quarantined in an abandoned Vietnamese hospital say they are keeping positive despite language barriers and strange foods.

Lucy Parker flew from London to Hanoi on 2 March before meeting up with her sister Alice and friends in Vietnam.

The women were tracked down by authorities after a passenger on the Vietnamese Airline flight tested positive for coronavirus.

They have been in isolation for seven days.

Lucy, 22, Alice, 25, and their friend Hanna Ahlberg, 23, were traced to their hostel in Ha Long Bay by authorities days after Lucy disembarked from the plane.

Police were deployed to their accommodation to ensure the women did not escape and hostel staff burnt mattresses and other items the women had come into contact with.
