“Thus, related to the flight VN54 from England to Vietnam on 2/3, up to now, there have been recorded 12 cases, including those sitting in the business seats in the same compartment as NHN patients, there are People sit in the regular compartment.

Of the 12 confirmed cases with the same flight, 10 were foreign nationals, mostly British nationals. The remaining two cases, including NHN patient and Mr. NQT, were both in Truc Bach - Ba Dinh - Hanoi, the two of them sat near the rows of seats, along with the business compartment.”

From my read of the Vietnamese text into English (and Chinese):
i) Both J pax (adjacent to 5K) and pax in Y got infected?
ii) Pax in the Y cabin adjacent to the J cabin got infected, along with people in the J cabin?
