A flight carrying US Vice President Kamala Harris from Singapore to Hanoi departed nearly three hours later than scheduled due to a “recent possible anomalous health incident” in Vietnam, according to the State Department.
Two US diplomats in Hanoi were set to be medically evacuated following incidents over the weekend allegedly involving “Havana syndrome” symptoms, according to NBC News.
“Earlier this evening, the vice president’s traveling delegation was delayed from departing Singapore because the vice president’s office was made aware of a report of a recent possible anomalous health incident in Hanoi, Vietnam,” according to a statement from the US embassy in Hanoi on 23 August. “After careful assessment, the decision was made to continue with the vice president’s trip.”
The designation of “anomalous health incident” has been used by State Department officials to describe so-called “Havana syndrome,” an alleged illness reported by US diplomats and other officials abroad.
