According to information from Cho Ray Hospital (HCMC), two workers involved in the suffocation incident in the sewer tunnel were discharged after one day of treatment.
Specifically, the health of Mr. TTB (43 years old) and NKM (22 years old) has improved well, and test results returned to normal after treatment.
Previously, these two patients were transferred to the Emergency Department on July 26 in a state of suffocation and chest tightness due to lack of oxygen in the blood and tissues, requiring nasal oxygen support. After 30 minutes of respiratory support, Mr. B. and Mr. M. were transferred to the Tropical Diseases Department for further monitoring.

In addition, the remaining two patients, VHBA (36 years old) and DBC (33 years old), were hospitalized in more serious condition and had to breathe with an oxygen mask. After bronchoscopy to clean out the dirt, the patients' respiratory failure has improved and they are still being monitored.
As reported by the Journalist & Public Opinion newspaper, on the morning of July 26, Mr. KL (38 years old) fainted and got stuck in a sewer while dredging a sewer on a road in Binh Chanh district, Ho Chi Minh City.
Discovering his colleague in trouble, Mr. A. (36 years old) immediately went down to help and also fainted. The next people who went down to help also fell into a similar situation. Among them, the first trapped worker, Mr. KL, died at the scene, the remaining 4 victims were taken to the emergency room.
At the scene, the distance from the manhole to the bottom was just over 2m, and the lid was opened to let out all the gas before working. The manholes did not smell of gas rising up, but the workers who crawled down were all affected.
