The patient had initially been transferred to Bac Ninh General Hospital and was subsequently moved to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases for treatment on June 7.

She eventually passed away on June 13 due to septic shock, hypertension, Parkinson's disease, and pneumonia caused by COVID-19.

The 61st COVID-19 death was a patient being treated for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at Hanoi's Tan Trieu Cancer K Hospital before being confirmed to be positive for COVID-19 on May 19.

She was then transferred to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases and underwent endotracheal intubation on May 31.

Despite the best efforts of doctors, she died on June 13 with a diagnosis of septic shock, invasive fungal infections, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2.
