HANOI, Feb 25 (Reuters) - All 16 people in Vietnam infected with a new coronavirus have been cured, the health ministry said on Tuesday, adding that no new cases have been recorded since Feb. 13.

The last known patient, a 50-year-old man infected by his daughter who returned from China's central city of Wuhan, where the virus first emerged, has recovered and is in good condition, the ministry said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear when the last patient would be discharged from hospital.

The rest, including a three-month-old baby, are improving, the ministry added.

2. Cured?

Maybe the disease ran its course without them dying, but most viruses don't get "cured." They just run their course.

3. That caught my attention, too.

It seems to me that the better word would be "recovered."

4. Noticed that too

Recovered would have been a better word.

6. Something else about this. Vietnam had 16 patients,

16 patients are cured (their word) but some are still hospitalized.... There is a counting or reporting error here.

5. Run its course doesn't fit the infodemic

Nature of this virus.
