At 12:15 p.m. the same day, the rescue team received two patients from Cu Lao Cham Border Guard Station and Military-Civilian Medical Station, urgently brought them ashore via CT15 port to transfer to a medical facility for further emergency care and treatment.

Over the past few days, due to the impact of storm No. 10, the sea has been very rough, so all ships going to and from Cu Lao Cham Island have stopped operating.
