VietNamNet Bridge - Ten more people were tested positive for cholera, with an additional 60 more people suffering from acute diarrhoea on April 23, said the Department of Preventive Medicine and Environment.
The ten people had been hospitalised some days earlier, but their sample test results were just announced on April 23.
Dr Nguyen Duc Hien, director of the National Institute of Tropical and Infectious Diseases, said that cholera virus had resisted two of four traditional anti-biotic medicines, which used to be used for cholera treatment.
A recent survey states that there are around 1,000 acute diarrhoea infected places in Hanoi with 44 people infected with cholera.
The city's authorities are determined to have contained the epidemic by April 30.
