BioNTech Annual General Meeting Vaccine effective against mutants

Status: 06/22/2021 6:13 p.m.

BioNTech boss Sahin uses the vaccine manufacturer’s general meeting to spread good news: Production will be increased and the vaccine also protects against virus variants. In view of the growing spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, which is considered to be more dangerous, many people are wondering how the effectiveness of the various vaccines is doing in this regard. At today’s Annual General Meeting, CEO Ugur Sahin gave the all-clear for BioNTech’s product: “There is currently no evidence that our vaccine needs to be adapted to the variants in circulation,” he said. That does not mean that the company is stopping development: According to Sahin, BioNTech is working on flexible processes in the areas of technology, production and approval.

Constant analysis

In order to be prepared and to be able to react quickly if a third dose should be required to boost existing vaccinations or to adapt to a new virus strain, BioNTech constantly analyzes the effectiveness of the vaccine against newly emerging variants, the CEO explained.

Sahin also commented on the subject of booster vaccinations: It is not yet known when and how often a booster will be necessary. But he assumes “that a third vaccination is of great value for boosting immunity,” said Sahin. Knowledge about the corona virus is steadily increasing. “We observe that immunity will decrease over time and new variants will emerge.”

Sahin against patent release

The one raised by US President Joe Biden and other politicians Request for the release of patents to enable license-free vaccine production in developing countries, the BioNTech boss rejected. It is important to be able to make the vaccine available worldwide “as quickly and as comprehensively as possible”. However, raw materials are currently the “limiting factor”, not patents.

BioNTech is working with partners to deliver the vaccine cheaply to developing countries. However, a patent release would not bring additional amounts of vaccine. The production of the vaccine is very complex and consists of around 50,000 work steps.

Production is increased

During the Annual General Meeting, Sahin also commented on production: The BioNTech boss confirmed that the company, together with its US partner Pfizer, is aiming for a production capacity of up to three billion vaccine doses this year.

In the coming year 2022 it should be more than three billion. BioNTech will manufacture at least half of this. To date, BioNTech and Pfizer have shipped more than 700 million doses of their Covid-19 vaccine to over 100 countries worldwide.

Dividend is possible

The shareholders should also benefit from the billions in sales generated with the corona vaccine. Chief Financial Officer Sierk Poetting said that in the next financial year it should be checked whether and in what amount a dividend is possible.

However, the strategic priority for 2021 is the reinvestment of the capital in order to further advance innovations in various therapeutic areas and technologies as well as our corporate development, said Poetting. The Mainz biotechnology company achieved a net profit of 1.1 billion euros on sales of 2.05 billion euros in the first quarter of this year .

New production facilities

There was also news from BioNTech outside of the Annual General Meeting. The European Medicines Agency’s Committee on Medicinal Products for Human Use gives the go-ahead for two more production facilities to manufacture the joint corona vaccine from Biontech and Pfizer.

One becomes accordingly in Reinbek, Schleswig-Holstein, operated by Allergopharma, the parent company of Dermapharm , the other in the Swiss stone from Novartis Pharma. The work can be started immediately, since no approval from the EU Commission is required

Contrary to the bustling atmosphere at the weekend, the streets of Ho Chi Minh City on May 30 were quieter after many Covid-19 cases in the community were announced. Many streets in the center of Ho Chi Minh City such as Dong Khoi, Le Duan, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Nguyen Du, Hai Ba Trung… were empty. Le Duan Street (District 1) The corners of the central streets of Ho Chi Minh City no longer have the vibrant rhythm of daily life Nguyen Hue pedestrian street (District 1) has been temporarily closed to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. Nguyen Van Binh book street has also been closed, the entrances are all equipped with tables and chairs, flower beds, and barricades. The area in front of Notre Dame Cathedral on weekends is often crowded with people to visit, today also very few people. Turtle Lake is quiet, no longer the familiar image of students who come here every weekend. Many streets in the city are empty Nguyen Huu Canh Street, even at rush hour, is empty of traffic Cay Go overpass (District 6), an important intersection at the western gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, is no longer crowded as usual. Vo Van Kiet Boulevard is a lifeline of traffic, connecting the two ends of the Northeast – Southwest of the city, but there are few cars on weekends, a very rare image compared to weekdays. A restaurant on Nguyen Trai Street (District 1) only sells takeaways, and at the same time keeps a distance of 2 meters from customers according to the requirements of the authorities.

The explosion of mass tourism has allowed many people to visit new places without learning about the local culture or language. Many tourists only meet locals when cleaning hotel rooms. 16 months of closure because of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the tourism industry to suffer. However, this huge industry that holds hundreds of millions of jobs is not going to collapse. It will return with the hope of changing in a sustainable direction, for the better, South China Morning Post identify. Karon Beach in Phuket (Thailand) is deserted on September 30, 2020. Photo: SCMP. Report of World Travel and Tourism Council in September 2020 identified four major changes in the future of tourism: travel demand, health and hygiene concerns, digitalization trends, and sustainability. In terms of demand, visitors will shift to prefer things that are familiar, predictable and reliable, which means local tourism is boosted. That will be evident in major countries with solid tourism foundations such as the US, European countries, Japan and China. International tourists will pay more attention to local characteristics instead of rushing to any place containing the combination of “blue sea, white sand, golden sunshine”. Airline packages will become obsolete. Health and hygiene concerns do not stop at temporary levels. Attending events, especially indoor and crowded ones, is challenging. The pandemic has made foreign travel dangerous, especially for developing countries with weak health infrastructures. The cumbersome administrative procedures to check visitors during the epidemic season will hinder this demand. The trend of digitalization in tourism will interfere and influence in two opposite directions. On the one hand, social networks will help plan trips without human contact and reduce dependence on travel agencies. On the other hand, the need for reliable sources of information can also strengthen the role of travel agencies. In addition, digitalization will also raise concerns about data privacy in international travel. Finally and most importantly, sustainability is effectively addressed. Mass tourism has caused great harm to the environment, “polluting” the experience and enjoyment of trips. The beaches of Bali (Indonesia) or Boracay (Philippines) are much less attractive when filled with plastic waste and untreated sewage. Crowding along the Great Wall at the Badaling section with thousands of other hikers or queuing to conquer Everest lowers the excitement of the experience. The Chinese crowd the Great Wall as fears of an epidemic fade. Photo: CNN. Business trips will be limited but more purposeful, as deep knowledge of foreign markets and different cultures remains key to the success of international businesses. This affects the airline industry, but it’s not bad news. In the future, the tourism industry will probably still hold 330 million jobs and serve 1.5 billion people a year or even more. However, visitors will pay more attention to the local environment and culture. Small groups of traveling friends will be formed to replace crowded groups like “broken bees”.

Officials of the Provincial Center for Disease Control apply IT in investigating and tracing cases with epidemiological factors related to the Covid-19 epidemic. In the face of complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh directed to make a full-scale, stronger and more effective offensive with more active, comprehensive and more appropriate solutions. , more effectively in the spirit of “fighting the epidemic like fighting the enemy”.

Improving testing capacity for Covid-19 According to the explanation of Minister Nguyen Thanh Long, this outbreak in Ho Chi Minh City is different from previous times when it was not possible to completely trace all sources of infection. The cause is the appearance of clusters of cases, pathogens can spread and spread quickly, thereby causing potential case misses. Besides, the epidemic in the city has a very fast rate of transmission. When a case is recorded, many people in the family, production line or company have also been infected. Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long held a meeting with the Ho Chi Minh City Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control on the afternoon of June 19. Photo: Khoi Nguyen. Regarding the orientation in the coming time, the Minister of Health emphasized that improving testing capacity is one of the strategic solutions so that Ho Chi Minh City can quickly control and prevent the disease. Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City needs to quickly improve testing capacity with a capacity of 500,000 aggregate samples per day, this scenario has been proposed before but needs to be implemented immediately to quickly stop the source of infection. Testing should be carried out in different forms, with key areas, to ensure that all relevant people are tested without omission and repeated testing after 5-7 days. With cases detected through screening, testing or hospital examination, the health sector needs to immediately localize and test the entire area, at the same time implement tracing measures and take samples for testing. In relevant cases, it is possible to apply sample 5 with F1, 10-20 with other cases. For industrial zones, the Minister said that Ho Chi Minh City needs regular screening tests to protect this area against the risk of disease invasion. At the same time, Ho Chi Minh City needs to have a large-scale screening test for the whole city in the form of 1-2 people per household. Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long. Photo: Duy Hieu. The Minister emphasized the need to quickly test for antigens, not to leave samples; Strengthening human resources to take samples and perform tests, and at the same time can consider and guide people to take samples for quick testing at home. Medical facilities need to test all patients who come for medical examination and treatment, not only focusing on groups of patients with clinical manifestations such as cough, fever, etc. Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said that the agencies under the Ministry located in the area will be mobilized to support the health sector in Ho Chi Minh City. In which, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Ho Chi Minh City mobilizes all students to participate in sampling, the Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City and other departments will provide maximum support with the coordination of HCMC. Preparing the plan that Ho Chi Minh City has 5,000 cases Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said that Ho Chi Minh City has distanced the whole city according to Directive 15, but the implementation still has many shortcomings. Ho Chi Minh City Hospital for Tropical Diseases, a large-scale Covid-19 treatment center in Ho Chi Minh City, is temporarily blocked. Photo: Chi Hung. The Minister recommended that the distance in Ho Chi Minh City should be implemented in different levels, depending on the characteristics of each area, should not rigidly apply Directive 16 throughout the city. Regarding treatment, Ho Chi Minh City needs to be ready for the scenario of 5,000 cases, plan to coordinate the army forces in the area to establish a field hospital; assigned Cho Ray Hospital to be ready for the scenario of setting up an emergency room to receive treatment for serious patients, especially cases requiring intensive intervention such as ECMO. For this scenario, the health sector in Ho Chi Minh City needs to review and prepare medical facilities, equipment and supplies. The Ministry of Health will provide some necessary equipment such as HFLC equipment, ventilators, ECMO to meet the treatment needs of serious patients. With the work of vaccination against Covid-19 vaccine, the Minister suggested that the city health sector should mobilize all efforts to implement the vaccination campaign according to the plan and schedule.

This year, however, the situation is completely different. Talking to VTC News, Ms. Van Anh, an employee of a famous photography studio with lotus photography packages with an address in Trung Liet, Dong Da, said that due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the studio lost 90% of its revenue. revenue compared to previous years. The lotus photography service lost hundreds of millions of dong because of the outbreak. According to Ms. Van Anh, every year when the lotus season comes, the studio serves about 30-40 visitors to take photos of lotus a day. On weekends, the number of visitors is even more crowded. The lotus photography package that customers often choose is the basic package for VND 699,000. Thus, each day the revenue from taking photos of lotus can reach from 20 to 29 million VND. This year, the epidemic broke out right in the lotus blooming season, so the photography service with lotus was stopped, almost no customers. “ It is estimated that the studio loses about 600-800 million VND in revenue from lotus photography service in a month “, said Ms. Van Anh. Thanh Nam, a freelance photographer, said that at the beginning of summer every year, he had to schedule a whole week to take photos of lotus flowers for guests. But this year, the lotus flower has bloomed, but no guests have booked an appointment yet. “ Even if someone booked an appointment, I had to make an appointment for them to finish the translation before taking pictures. But when will the epidemic end, while lotus blooms only have a season and do not last ‘, Nam said sadly. Lotus flowers are in full bloom in West Lake, Hanoi but are absent from visiting. It is known that the price of a set of lotus photos of this photographer ranges from 400,000 to 600,000 VND excluding makeup and costume rental. In the lotus season, he takes pictures for about 2-3 guests every day. The epidemic caused him to lose millions of money every day. Mr. Chung, owner of a lotus pond in West Lake, where photographers often go to take photos of lotus for guests, shared: “ How much does it cost to sell lotus flowers, the income only depends on the photographer, but now the photographer doesn’t bring customers to take pictures anymore, it is considered a hungry year “. In addition to the income from the entrance fee collected by visitors when taking photos at the lotus lake, in previous years, Mr. Chung also opened a rental service for costumes on the spot, this service also brought a significant source of revenue. This year, in the context of the outbreak of the epidemic, these revenues are considered to be zero, causing the owner of the lotus garden to struggle and struggle. Only counting the entrance fee to the lotus garden, lotus pond owners like Mr. Chung lose millions of dong a day because of the epidemic. 10 kiosks for renting costumes at the West Lake lotus pond are empty because there are no customers. Ms. Hoang Anh, the owner of a costume rental shop including camisole, ao dai, ba ba shirt… said that in previous years, in the lotus season, every day, customers asked to rent a camisole, every weekend they could earn it. million from this “follow-up” service. Her shop sometimes doesn’t even have enough items to rent to customers. However, this year almost no guests asked to rent anymore. On the way to the West Lake lotus garden, you can easily see street vendors selling both pink and white lotus flowers. Ms. Tuong, a seller, said that every year, at the beginning of the season, lotus flowers are expensive, selling as much as they can. Many customers buy each bunch of 10 flowers to make photo props. But this year, it’s much more sluggish, only 30,000 VND for the whole bunch and still no buyers. Street vendors filled with lotus flowers at the beginning of the season. Mai, a customer who likes to take photos of lotus, shared: “For four years now, every year I take pictures with the West Lake lotus. There are years when you have to book an appointment with a photographer, making an appointment a week before it’s your turn. This year is the season, although I am very excited and know that if I take photos at this time, I will not have to jostle and compete, but due to the epidemic, I have to comply with the regulations on distance, so I have to wait for the epidemic to end before I can take photos.” .

A Thai woman rests after being vaccinated against Covid-19. The above decision was made at a meeting of Bangkok’s Communicable Diseases Committee on May 31. The commission said the reopening was intended to ease the burden on business by allowing it to operate under strict conditions. The Thai government’s efforts to control the outbreak of Covid-19 in residential communities, markets and worker housing are continuing. Five types of businesses are allowed to reopen in Bangkok from June 1 including: museums, learning centers, science parks, historical sites and art galleries (no group tours). ; tattoo parlors and nail salons (must close for 14 days if any Covid-19 cases are detected); beauty/weight loss clinics and services; spas, massage parlors and wellness-related locations (no saunas or facials); and public parks, botanical gardens and flower gardens (no eating or gathering). Other businesses in Bangkok will remain closed until June 14.

The whole country recorded 19 more deaths from Covid-19, bringing the total number of people who did not die from this disease to 1,031. Bangkok continues to lead the list of localities with new cases, with 1,356 cases recorded on May 31. (according to VNA)

Map of epidemiological information is established. Look at the map to avoid “hot spots” CovidMaps is an interactive map that helps people locate and look up epidemiological information visually on the map. It helps viewers take proactive precautions when moving near high-risk areas. The map is also a useful communication channel to help authorities promptly notify people of important information when accessing the map. CovidMaps also help professional agencies easily grasp the epidemic situation and detect epidemic hotspots. Le Yen Thanh, General Director of Phenikaa Maas Technology Joint Stock Company – the Covidmaps construction unit, said that the unit built itself using bMap map technology. The CovidMaps epidemiological map is currently being deployed in 9 outbreak localities: Da Nang, Hai Duong, Quang Ninh, Gia Lai, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Phu Yen, Thai Nguyen and Lang Son. In these localities, people only need to access http: Covidmaps. (name of province and city).gov.vn for all epidemiological information related to Covid-19 in your locality. This is an effective tool for people to prevent the spread of the disease, easy to use on smartphones, and can be accessed by anyone. Le Yen Thanh said that when the Covid-19 epidemic broke out, many questions were raised and many problems solved. How to know that you have entered the epidemic area is the key to solving the next steps such as self-isolation, monitoring for signs of virus infection. In fact, the epidemiological information, the travel history of Covid-19 cases is inherently complicated. The updated data to the people is specific and regular (every 2 days), but it is still fragmentary, thus causing many difficulties in memorizing and finding the passing locations of the F0s. Tracing the journey, timely blockade, isolation at the right time is the key to cutting off the chain of infection of the virus. “Covid-19 map” on the application platform BusMap – city buses. The Covid map displays as a regular map with dots showing the locations of susceptible areas. This feature allows users to directly, easily and quickly identify places with a high risk of infection, thereby having an appropriate direction of movement, avoiding entering the epidemic area. The interface design of each map is quite easy to follow. The “stop” sign is the quarantine points, the house-shaped icon is the concentrated isolation facilities, the yellow dot icon is the patient’s home area, the + sign is a hospital and medical facility, the X sign is blockade and medical isolation areas. Each icon corresponds to the corresponding number detailed in real time. In addition, there are the number of F0 patients for the day, the number of Covid patients with updated data, and the phone number of the epidemic in the upper corner of the screen. Effective tool for epidemic prevention Mr. Le Yen Thanh said, when typing a specific address on the map, if that address is in a blockade or medical isolation area, there will be a red warning, with a specific blockade address. Patient housing areas are also highlighted in red. The map currently provides information including: Centralized isolation point, blockade area, patient’s home area, where the patient has been, where the patient has been for more than 14 days. Not stopping at a map just to see, the Covid map also recognizes whether the user’s location is coincident with an area at risk of infection. This helps users know the level of safety of their location and have an appropriate adjustment plan. Currently this feature is being widely introduced to BusMap users. During the process of being put into use, the application will actively receive feedback to improve this feature to provide the best value for people,” said CEO Le Yen Thanh. According to Mr. Le Yen Thanh, applying the epidemiological digital map to management, people can grasp epidemiological information in time, do not move to hot spots, helping to limit the spread in the community. Regarding the security of personal information, the specific information of the infected case such as address, full name is obscured. This is just the information that has been released publicly from the local epidemic prevention and control steering committee. When this data is available, the new data entry operator system is put in, because it is an official source of information, so it completely complies with the provisions of the law on personal confidentiality for infected cases. With the launch of the Covid-19 epidemiological information mapping software on May 24, Lang Son is the 9th province in the country to provide a Covid-19 epidemiological map tool to help the community monitor visually. epidemiological information of local cases through the Internet. As the first locality in the country to apply digital maps in the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic in the area, Mr. Nguyen Van Quoc, Director of the Information Center for Public Services in Da Nang said: Translation information map Covid-19 epidemiology was built in August 2020 – when the first outbreak of the epidemic broke out in Da Nang and has been continuously improved since then. The data is constantly updated from reputable sources, combining both automatic and manual entry. Manual data entry is performed in cases where the addresses are not clearly identified. The biggest goal of this digital map is to help people have the most intuitive and accurate view of the Covid-19 panorama in Da Nang without having to search for individual bulletins. Le Yen Thanh said that localities in need will be free to transfer the application platform to serve the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Following the social network during the epidemic, I suddenly saw that my friends shared more pictures of camping and family picnics. Quiet, not crowded but still experience and rest with familiar people. Camping is not a new form of tourism, but perhaps now “on the throne” when tourism activities are limited, everyone is self-aware of distance to prevent epidemics. And camping is one of the best ways for people to relax and enjoy nature; in parallel with compliance with regulations on prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic. Camping is a great way to enjoy unspoiled nature. Has anyone told you that our country has countless beautiful places to camp? Try spending a weekend to experience it. I like the mountain roads leading to the Dong Cao steppe (Bac Giang), where I can zoom out to see the majestic mountain scenery, love the feeling of freedom in the middle of Dong Lam valley (Lang Son province). ), where there are green grass and green river. Who doesn’t like to hear the waves crashing right next to their ears on a camping night in Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen), or open their eyes to see a sea of ​​white clouds in Da Lat (Lam Dong)… Fresh air, wide mind The openness, the ultimate sense of freedom and the slow pace of life when truly immersed in nature can be “addictive” to anyone. The beautiful sea of ​​clouds view from the campsite in Dong Cao (Bac Giang). Going camping is not boring because outdoor activities are extremely diverse. Hiking in the forest, fishing, yoga, cycling around the lake, kayaking, SUP board on the river or in the sea, … all consume a lot of energy and require basic skills. But sometimes, visitors just need to be spoiled for water in the cool water, “foot massage” with pebbles in the stream bed, walk together on the lawn, watch the sun set in a sunset. .. is enough. For families with young children, camping becomes even more interesting. Away from TV screens, phones, children will be free to explore, have new lessons about the natural world around in the most realistic way. I love that the whole family comes together to prepare food for a barbecue, which can be incomplete but is always delicious. By the flickering campfire, everyone told stories together, playing guitar under the starry sky. Affection, family cohesion, friends are also a benefit that camping brings. Sharing moments together makes camping more memorable. Safe, environmentally friendly With self-sufficient tourism such as camping, safety is always a top priority. In addition to fully and thoughtfully preparing furniture, tools and costumes; Everyone must always consider and choose a suitable camping site for the weather, time and participants. Regarding the location, the experience to remember is to avoid areas with difficult terrain, or rain at night, high winds or too far from residential areas, without phone signal. First aid items and some simple medicine should always be on hand. The dishes when camping are not picky, do not require a chef’s talent, but always have to be hygienic, fresh and attractive. The picnic meal is simple but still very attractive. For me, it only takes the most basic tools and a car to get to the camping site not too far from home, but there are many people who like a thoughtful camping trip. Pickup trucks, minivans like a mobile home with full of handy camping gear are becoming more and more popular with Vietnamese families. But if you are inexperienced and shy of places that are too wild, there are many tourist campsites with relatively convenient services.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the proceeds from the lottery program will be used to buy COVID-19 vaccines, medicines and award some scholarships. According to Indep, the villa of Carrillo Fuentes – leader of the Juarez drug cartel – located in the Jardines del Pedregal area near the capital Mexico City is valued at nearly $ 4 million. Foreclosed on more than 20 years ago, the property measures nearly 10,000 square feet and has an indoor swimming pool, nine bedrooms, several saunas, a wine cellar and a banquet hall. According to Indep, the mansion of the late boss Fuentes is still fully furnished. Meanwhile, the mansion of the “dwarf” Joaqín Guzmán, who was once in charge of the notorious Sinaloa cartel, is located in the city of Culiacán, capital of the state of Sinaloa on the West Coast of Mexico. This is where Guzmán escaped from the police in February 2014 by running through a secret tunnel hidden under the bathtub. Joaqín Guzmán’s house has two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a garage and a front garden. It is valued at $200,000, which is quite a bit higher than the real estate market in Sinaloa.

This room is valued at 1 million USD, valid until 2065. In 2019, Mexico once put up six other Guzmán homes for sale, but only three were sold for a total of $227,844. One of them is the steel-reinforced house where Guzmán took refuge after his first escape in 2001. The Mexican government once held a similar lottery in September 2020 with the top prize being the presidential jet. However, there were no buyers for this $130 million Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The name Carrillo Fuentes is also known as “The Lord of the Sky” because of the way he used planes to smuggle tons of drugs into the US territory. He died in 1997 while undergoing facial transformation surgery.

According to data from real estate company CIAN, homes in the village range in price from $544,000 to more than $12 million.

The village is only a 40-minute drive from the airport and the traffic is very open, convenient for short stays. “ People have noticed the advantages of the village: It is in the same time zone as Moscow, only 2 hours by flight from the capital, has a ski area in the winter, has a beach in the summer, and good infrastructure “, said Ilya Kreimer, an investor in the village of Krasnaya Polyana. Taking advantage of the potentials gained during the COVID-19 pandemic, Krasnaya Polyana is expected to become Russia’s new “Silicon valley” (high-tech commercial district).

Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple complex was bustling with tourists. (Photo: Asia Times) The Chinese ambassador is said to have repeatedly said that this data is needed to help Beijing monitor the movement of people between the two countries, but the reality is that China is now imposing strict quarantine measures. strict for visitors and the two countries do not share borders According to reports, people who install the Stop COVID-19 app when entering a specific location will receive a message of a 6-digit sequence via phone. They need to enter this code to be granted entry. In this way, a digital log is created to record and track the user’s location based on the phone where the app is installed, as well as their behavior and relationships. Sources said that Ambassador Wang and other Chinese officials offered to assist the Cambodian Ministry of Post and Telecommunications in upgrading the current QR system with Huawei’s modern digital technology. Last year, China also made a similar offer to Thailand to access two movement tracking apps “Thai Chana” and “Mor Chana”. Chinese agencies are said to have requested access to information about foreigners in Thailand. The Chinese official told Thai authorities that any decision on allowing Chinese tourists to return to Thailand would also depend on sharing information on the Thai Chana and Mor Chana apps. Beijing has a bargaining chip when it comes to this proposal. In 2019, when the pandemic had not yet begun, Thailand welcomed 11 million Chinese tourists, more than any other country. Tourism accounts for nearly 20% of Thailand’s GDP and is currently suffering extremely serious damage because of restrictive measures to deal with the epidemic. However, Thailand has dodged this sensitive offer from China thanks to skillful diplomacy, the sources said. Thai people say that it is difficult to gather all the information in one application because the information is stored in many different databases. Cambodia is even more dependent on Chinese tourists. Out of a total of 5.29 million visitors to Cambodia in 2019, 2 million were from China. Tourism accounted for 32.7% of Cambodia’s GDP that year, but has been virtually crippled by the pandemic so far. Experts say Cambodia’s vulnerability and strategic location make it one of the focus of China’s influence efforts, as well as a target China wants to monitor, especially is with sensitive people in government and armed forces.

It is expected that the first phase of phase 3 will be conducted by the Military Medical Academy and the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City with 1,000 volunteers, each with 500 people. Vietnam’s first COVID-19 vaccine tested in phase 3 on humans. Regarding the reason for choosing the dose group of 25 mcg, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chu Van Men said that testing at 3 dose levels of 25-50-75 mcg showed that the vaccine was safe on volunteers, capable of generating immunity in 3 doses. There was no difference in dose groups. Therefore, the National Ethical Council in Biomedical Research, Ministry of Health decided to only inject 1 optimal dose of 25 mcg at this stage. Phase 3 is implemented in many centers in the country: The North is deployed by the Military Medical Academy as the focal point at Military Medical Hospital 103, in collaboration with the Preventive Medicine Center of Hung Yen province to deploy locally; In the South, the Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute is the focal point to deploy, in collaboration with the Preventive Medicine Centers of Long An and Tien Giang provinces to deploy locally. After the phase 1 and phase 2 trials, the Nano Covax vaccine is judged to be quite safe, so the criteria for recruiting volunteers will be relaxed more than the previous two phases. 13,000 volunteers participating in phase 3, aged 18-75 years old, only need to check their blood count and check for antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People who have been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or already have antibodies will be excluded from the test population. As of June 11, more than 6,500 volunteers have registered to test the Nano Covax vaccine against COVID-19 phase 3. Senior Colonel, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Anh Son, Deputy Director of the Military Medical and Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Military Medical Academy added: “It is expected that by mid-September 2021, after about 42 days of the second injection. In two of the first 1,000 experimental injections, we will summarize the results of the quality assessment to report. If it is favorable, we will submit the dossier and propose the Government, the Ministry of Health, and the National Ethical Council in the study. In parallel with that process, the unit will continue to test the Nano Covax vaccine on 12,000 volunteers to continue to control the experimental injection and evaluate the effectiveness. protective power of vaccines”. During the testing process and after the antibody sample is available, the Military Medical Academy will coordinate with the Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company, the testing units to conduct the assessment of the ability to neutralize the SARS-CoV virus. -2 in the laboratory for existing virus strains to determine the development direction of vaccine research in the coming period. Through discussions with the expert group of Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company, in addition to recombinant protein technology, there are other technologies for research and production of vaccines. Nanogen as well as many Vietnamese scientists are very interested in mRNA technology – which has been of great interest to the world in recent years. This technology has the advantage of reacting very quickly to the disease, quickly getting a vaccine. According to available information, vaccines produced by this technology are very safe for human use. More information about the phase 3 trial, Lieutenant General, Prof. Dr. Do Quyet, Director of the Military Medical Academy, said that this trial phase is designed according to the adaptive design method, continuing to inject the experimental vaccine. trial and placebo group; health assessment at the time of the first injection, the second dose (done on the 28th day), the 35th day and the 42nd day after injection. The Director of the Military Medical Academy expressed confidence in the safety of the Nano Covax vaccine with the results achieved through the previous two testing phases. Specifically, the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 virus antibodies after the phase 2 trial injection showed that the antibody titre increased very high, from tens to hundreds of times. After the second injection, the volunteers had a physical examination (blood test, blood pressure measurement…) once a week to assess the amount of antibodies appearing in the body; then continue to be monitored for 6 months to get information, assess health as well as immunity ability. Up to now, 100% of volunteers who have been vaccinated with Nano Covax vaccine have produced antibodies in the blood. – Phase I (December 2020), the COVID-19 vaccine Nano Covax was administered to 60 volunteers. – Phase II (February 2021) injected over 554 people. From phase 2, the trial was conducted both at the Military Medical Academy and the Medical Center of Ben Luc district – Long An province (by the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City).

Illustration. At the meeting of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 prevention and control on the afternoon of June 11, Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan informed that the Ministry of Health had officially approved the phase 3 clinical trial of the vaccine. Vietnam’s first COVID-19 room named Nano Covax. According to Deputy Minister Tran Van Thuan, the Ministry of Health has just approved the phase 3 clinical trial of Nano Covax vaccine of Nanogen Company. According to Lieutenant Colonel, Assoc. Dr. Chu Van Men – Director of the Center for Clinical Trials and Bioequivalence, Military Medical Academy, Ministry of National Defense, phase 3 injected the Nano Covax vaccine to 13,000 people and injected only a single dose group. 25 mcg and placebo injection group (with a ratio of “6 people vaccinated to 1 person injecting placebo” according to the design approved by the Ministry of Health). As for the reason for choosing the 25 mcg dose group, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chu Van Men said that when the phase 2 trial showed that, the 3 dose levels of 25-50-75 mcg had equivalent safety and immunogenicity. undifferentiated. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and increase the effectiveness of the number of doses of vaccine production, the National Ethical Council in Biomedical Research, the Ministry of Health decided to inject only 1 optimal dose of 25 mcg at the initial stage. this. Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long and Minister of National Defense Phan Van Giang asked and encouraged volunteers to test the vaccine against COVID-19 Nano Covax. Photo: PV. On June 11, the Military Medical Academy said that this unit has started to deploy the phase 3 trial injection of the COVID-19 Nano Covax vaccine for the first 19 volunteers. On the day of injection for 200 people, divided into 2 groups. Accordingly, one group injected the Nano Covax vaccine with a dose of 25mcg, the other group injected a placebo with aluminum excipients. Military medical students will inject 1,000 volunteers in the first time. According to the research outline, phase 3 will test on about 13,000 volunteers in many provinces such as Hanoi, Hung Yen, Long An, Tien Giang… At the Military Medical Academy, there are currently more than 7,000 volunteers registered to participate in the trial, of which more than 600 people have been screened and are eligible to participate. Besides, IVAC’s Covivac vaccine is also preparing to complete phase 1 trial and enter phase 2 in July 2021. Regarding the subjects of vaccination, according to Deputy Minister Tran Van Thuan, in addition to the priority subjects for COVID-19 vaccination under Resolution 21, the Ministry of Health has added workers in industrial zones and will propose more subjects working in establishments dealing in essential goods.

The Covid-19 epidemiological information map has a friendly interface, easy to use and look up. On June 11, the Department of Information and Communications and the Hanoi Department of Health officially launched the “Hanoi Covid-19 Epidemiological Information Map”, serving the city’s epidemic prevention and control. The Covid-19 epidemiological information map in Hanoi can be accessed directly at: https://covidmaps.hanoi.gov.vn. Through smart mobile phones or computers with internet connection, people can search and detect problems related to the Covid-19 epidemic around them or at any location in the city. Hanoi. In addition, the system also provides mapping tools for density analysis and statistics to serve the people as well as for management, monitoring, epidemic prevention and control; Covid-19 testing sites; concentrated isolation areas; blockade and medical isolation areas; hospital, medical center… Director of the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications Nguyen Thanh Liem said that the source of data and expert data on the Covid-19 epidemiology is provided by the city’s Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Hanoi Department of Health. Internal and updated continuously right after the official announcement of CDC. The Department of Information and Communications hopes this will be one of the effective tools to support people and management agencies in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic. In phase 2, the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications in coordination with the Department of Health and CDC will continue to upgrade and add some new functions such as: Information on epidemiological points, blockade points, positive cases announced within a user-defined radius on the map; update information on maps of districts, wards and communes that have taken samples for Covid-19 testing; locate, find a way to build a suitable travel route, limit contact with points at risk of infection.

Preparing to test Covid-19 isolation monitoring bracelet The first type is the Bluezone smart bracelet, manufactured by a Vietnamese enterprise. The expected price is 6 USD / unit, equivalent to about 138,000 VND. The bracelet uses Bluezone open source core, 30-day battery, and is used in cases where smartphones are not used like in factories, used for the elderly … to support monitoring, medical declaration… The second type is a GPS navigation bracelet to help manage in the isolation area, priced at 35 USD/piece (equivalent to 800,000 VND). This bracelet will identify the wearer’s location, have a warning to destroy or remove the bracelet; 30 days battery, can be charged repeatedly and reused. The bracelet has a warning sent to the quarantined person, the medical officer in charge when leaving the allowed range or violating the predetermined route. Previously, to comply with the request of the National Steering Committee for the Prevention and Control of the Covid-19 epidemic to complete the application to manage entry people from the time of entry, at the isolation area and to monitor their health after the end. On May 8, the Ministry of Information and Communications proposed to apply a specialized bracelet to support the monitoring of people in concentrated isolation and after centralized isolation developed by Vietnamese technology enterprises. According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, some countries have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects, but the use of available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Male. The purchase of foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of the partner, which can significantly affect the Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Meanwhile, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (mastering technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. The quarantine bracelet can open up a new management direction for low-risk quarantined people, who will be fitted with a bracelet to monitor their self-isolation at home. This approach helps to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in the isolation area, and at the same time reduces the social burden, especially the epidemic prevention and control team. Besides this bracelet, a number of other technological solutions have been deployed by the National Center for Technology for Covid-19 Prevention and Control to manage isolation, manage vaccinations and certify electronic vaccines… the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic.

Thanh Nhan Hospital deploys AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine for medical staff. Accordingly, this number of vaccines is distributed by the Hanoi Department of Health to districts, towns. Districts, towns and cities have prepared to deploy the third phase of Covid-19 vaccination according to the plan of the Ministry of Health and the guidance of the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology. It is expected that the vaccination against Covid-19 in this batch will end in July 2021. The Covid-19 vaccine in the 3rd and 4th waves will focus on giving the first dose to priority subjects in the spirit of Resolution 21/NQ-CP of the Government, that is, people working in medical facilities. health (medical staff working at domestic and non-public health facilities have not been vaccinated); participants in epidemic prevention and control; staff directly participating in service at concentrated isolation areas; members of the City’s Steering Committee for Epidemic Prevention and Control, the Health Sector Steering Committee for Epidemic Prevention and Control, the Steering Committees at all levels and branches; Community Covid-19 Team members have not been vaccinated… In addition, those who have received the 1st dose will be given the 2nd dose after being given the next round of vaccines (batches 5 and 6). Priority subjects received 1 dose of vaccine and the interval between 2 injections was at least 8 weeks. Tran Thi Nhi Ha, Director of the Hanoi Department of Health, said that Hanoi puts vaccination safety first. Districts, towns need to proactively arrange safe vaccination points and strengthen inspection and supervision of vaccination points, ensuring full compliance with the vaccination process as prescribed by the Ministry of Health. Previously, Hanoi deployed the first phase of Covid-19 vaccination for more than 8,400 people and the second phase for more than 53,000 people. Step 1: Visit https://www.bluezone.gov.vn or download directly at App Store or CH Play. Step 2: Once downloaded, the application will ask for permission to use Bluetooth to record contact with other Bluezone installed users.

Before that, following the request of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control to complete the application to manage entry people from the time of entry, at the isolation area and to monitor their health after the end of the quarantine period. In the case of centralized isolation, the Ministry of Information and Communications (TT&TT) has proposed to apply a specialized bracelet to support the monitoring of people in centralized and post-isolation isolation developed by Vietnamese technology enterprises. According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, some countries have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects, but the use of available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Male. The purchase of foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of the partner, which can significantly affect the Covid-19 prevention and control plan.

The tracking bracelet solution could open up a new direction of management for low-risk quarantined people. They will be fitted with a bracelet to monitor their self-isolation at home. This approach helps to reduce the risk of cross-infection in the isolation area, and at the same time eases the social burden, especially the team working in epidemic prevention and control.

Accordingly, with just a smartphone or computer connected to the Internet, people can search and detect problems related to the Covid-19 epidemic around them or at any location in Hanoi city. People can directly access the Hanoi Covid-19 Epidemiological Information Map at https://covidmaps.hanoi.gov.vn/ Map of Covid-19 epidemiological information of Hanoi city. The Covid-19 epidemiological information map will display testing points, concentrated isolation areas, blockade areas, medical isolation, hospitals, medical centers… The system also provides mapping tools for density analysis and statistics to serve the people as well as for disease management, monitoring and prevention. According to Nguyen Thanh Liem, Director of the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications, the source of data and expert data on the Covid-19 epidemiology is provided by the City Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Department of Health. Hanoi and is continuously updated immediately after the official announcement of CDC. With the operation of this map system, the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications hopes that this will be one of the effective tools to support the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic for people and management agencies in the world. city ​​area. Information about “red addresses” is provided on the map for people to proactively avoid. In phase 2, the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications will coordinate with the Department of Health and CDC to continue to upgrade and add some new functions such as information on epidemiological points, blockade points, and positive cases. announced within a user defined radius on the map. In addition, in the future, this map system will help people update information about districts (districts), wards (communes) that have taken samples for Covid-19 testing. Another important feature is to help people locate, find the way to build a suitable travel route, limit contact with points at risk of infection. Before Hanoi, some other localities such as Bac Ninh, Vinh Phuc, etc. have also built a real-time epidemiological information map system to update people on the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic. 19.

Although the epidemic situation in Cambodia is still complicated, the Phnom Penh capital government still decided to allow the resumption of all business and trading activities at the state-managed markets in the city. The Cambodian Ministry of Health said that in the next few days, the number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 will reach 3 million and the country is aiming for 10 million people to achieve herd immunity. According to the ministry’s report, so far 2,939,543 people in Cambodia have been vaccinated, or 29.4% of the total 10 million adults expected to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The number of new COVID-19 cases in Malaysia has been on a downward trend in recent days, after hitting record highs in May. Malaysian Health Ministry data released on June 15 confirmed an additional 5,419 cases. COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 667,876, including 3,968 deaths. The Malaysian government announced on June 15 that it had granted emergency use authorization for one-shot COVID-19 vaccines developed by CanSino Biologics (China) and Johnson & Johnson (USA). Malaysia is speeding up its vaccination program in tandem with strict lockdown measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As of June 14, this Southeast Asian country has administered at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine to 3.28 million people, or 10% of the population. Vaccination against COVID-19 in Seoul, South Korea. Photo: AFP/VNA South Korea on June 15 recorded 374 new infections, bringing the total number of cases nationwide to 148,647. The country is planning to launch a trial of a new social distancing mechanism within three weeks, starting from the beginning of next month, while trying to prevent a spike in daily new infections. Accordingly, South Korea will lift the current ban on gatherings of 5 or more people and increase it to 8 people. Restaurants and cafes can stay open until midnight in the capital Seoul and surrounding areas, 2 hours later than the current curfew from 10pm. Currently, the capital Seoul and the surrounding area, along with the city of Daegu as well as the resort island of Jeju, are applying social distancing level 2 out of a 5-level scale, while the remaining areas are at level 2. 1.5. Mass gatherings of 5 or more people are prohibited. To date, about 13 million South Koreans, or 25% of the population, have received the first dose of the vaccine. Meanwhile, the Japanese Government has approved a new policy on increasing support for foreigners residing in Japan who have difficulties and obstacles in vaccination against COVID-19. Accordingly, the country will step up support and guide foreigners who are not familiar with the vaccination registration process at their places of residence, as well as have difficulties in contacting the vaccination department. In addition, the government will also promote the implementation of a multilingual portal on COVID-19 prevention measures. The Hong Kong government (China) has announced that it will relax the strict restrictive measures imposed since July last year for ships and boats docked at this Asian shipping hub.

A COVID-19 test site in Hong Kong, China. Photo: AFP/VNA Israel has officially lifted the mandatory mask wearing in public places since June 15, after more than a year of implementation. Accordingly, buildings, offices, schools, hotels… will not require employees or visitors to wear masks when in this enclosed space. However, wearing a mask is still applied in a few special cases, for example, people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 who visit patient care facilities are at high risk of death if infected. infected, people on the way to quarantine or passengers on the plane. Earlier, on April 18, the Israeli Government also lifted the mandatory mask wearing rule outdoors and from June 1 lifted all social distancing measures after more than a year of application. Thanks to an effective vaccination campaign, the number of COVID-19 patients and the infection rate in Israel have dropped to a very low level. Also on June 15, the Indian Ministry of Health announced that it had recorded an additional 60,471 cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, marking the eighth consecutive day that the number of new cases across India was below the threshold of 100,000 cases.

However, schools, educational facilities, swimming pools, gyms and public places remain closed. In Europe, the final stage of Britain’s COVID-19 lockdown lifting will be postponed to July 19 instead of June 21 as originally planned. The decision was taken as the UK recorded an increasing number of new cases of COVID-19 due to the emergence of the contagious Delta variant first detected in India. Scientists advising the British Government warn that the number of people needing hospital treatment due to COVID-19 will increase sharply again if the final phase of the blockade easing schedule takes place on June 21. according to the plan. According to the restrictions imposed to prevent COVID-19 in the UK, outdoor events are limited to a maximum of 30 people, indoor events up to 6 people. However, 15 pilot events are on track to ease the lockdown as planned, including upcoming EURO 2020 matches and art and music performances. Those attending these events must present a certificate of vaccination or test negative for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some regions in Russia have tightened restrictive measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, while focusing on strengthening the response capacity of hospitals in the event of an increase in hospital admissions after the outbreak. as the number of new infections skyrocketed. On June 15, Russia added 14,185 new infections, of which 6,805 were in Moscow, bringing the total number of cases across the country to 5,236,593. In the past 24 hours, Russia also recorded an additional 379 deaths from COVID-19, bringing the total number of deaths to 127,780.

As the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, worries about air travel also peaked. Important business trips are done in fear, and vacations are seen as irresponsible and dangerous. Many tourists are both eager to go out and protect themselves. Although there are adventure lovers, most just want to relax and change the atmosphere. Staying at home is the safest but very frustrating. Tired after a year of fighting the virus that spreads in the air, many people wonder when they will be able to enjoy a trip abroad without worrying about the pandemic. Can a yacht bring joy instead of a death trap? The joy of travel still comes with anxiety about the disease. Photo: Shutterstock. What do you get from your travels? The pandemic is being better controlled by developed countries. This causes serious problems for developing countries whose economies are dependent on tourism. Americans worried about Covid-19 could go to Britain or Europe. But what will they find there, when only a few restaurants and museums are reopening in London (UK) or Vienna (Austria). A large portion of Americans are not of European descent, so the need to visit Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East is obvious. The decision of visitors depends on the situation of each country. In the past, people would research the social situation going on in the country or find out if the place they want to go treats women, LGBT and religious minorities well. But now, the numbers of Covid-19 infections are enough to make a decision. It’s fine if you’ve been vaccinated and go to a place where everyone has been vaccinated. However, there is still a way to safely travel to a place where vaccines are not yet widely available without becoming a source of super infection. It’s important to avoid crowded places, wear a mask, and only eat out when allowed. Nostalgic for the comfortable travel days before Covid-19. Photo: Unsplash. Many people like me can’t wait to go back to the life of the past. I have visited about half of the 200 countries in the world and my favorite places are a strange mix. I like England for being there part-time, Mongolia for its unspoiled and authentic beauty, Afghanistan for its amazing hospitality that I have not come across anywhere else. The list could go on forever. I once wrote about the memory of dancing under the full moon with a friend in a small village in the Solomon Islands. I was trapped in an iceberg in Antarctica. My most dangerous trip was in Australia. I had been at sea for half a day in a wetsuit when the boat that had taken me out to the Pacific ran away. A world without those experiences is a less vibrant and vibrant place than the one I used to live in. Back to the sky In early May 2021, I took my first flight to visit my daughter in Texas when the travel restrictions were eased and I had enough vaccines. Although I didn’t feel too dangerous, I was still somewhat uncomfortable. I did not eat or drink while on the plane and wore a tight mask. However, the return to the sky gives me a fluttering feeling like being back in the scenery of the summer days of my childhood. As we broke through the stratospheric clouds and greeted the familiar warm sun, the joy filled my heart like hugging friends for the first time after getting vaccinated. The quarantine days have given me more time for my husband and children and writing, and the comfort of a fixed lifestyle. However, being freed from that comfort also relieved me. Although accompanied by fear, the journey is still a relief. The first flights after the restriction on movement was eased brought emotions to many people. Photo: New York Times. Traveling is not only about fun but also important to a non-stop learning career. The 19th century scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt wrote: “There is no worldview as dangerous as that of those who have not yet seen the world”. Being locked in one’s own country is terrible for many people, because it means being confined to one’s own bubble. The success of each country depends on the curiosity of its citizens. Losing that means losing our inner compass. Although I long to explore new lands, I am also eager to welcome people to the place where I live. It’s weird to walk through New York City’s great museums without hearing 100 different languages. Travel is a two-way street and I hope to see traffic back in the near future. Once the SARS-CoV-2 virus is under control, we will restart with renewed vigor. The world is wide open before our eyes. The first steps can be hesitant, cautious, and uncertain. But think about it. A year ago, the grocery store was also an adventure destination. Now, while still being cautious, we are being given a planet back to explore.

Accordingly, female patient HTH (37 years old) was admitted to Bac Giang Lung Hospital on May 26, receiving oxygen, but her disease progress was not good. By May 28, the patient was given HFNC (high-flow oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula). On 2-6, the patient was intubated, mechanical ventilation, dialysis, antibiotics. Treating severe Covid-19 patients in Bac Giang At 8 pm on June 14, the patient was transferred to the ICU Center and continued to receive mechanical ventilation, dialysis, and vasopressor use. However, the development of heart failure was very severe, requiring high-dose vasopressors, bilateral diffuse lung damage, and did not respond to optimal medical treatment. On the afternoon of June 15, the patient was assigned to conduct ECMO placement. As the person who directly treats the patient, Dr. Nguyen Tan Hung – Deputy Head of the Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poison (Danang Hospital), Head of the Da Nang Medical Delegation in Bac Giang Hospital – said that after placing ECMO, vasopressors were discontinued and the blood oxygenation index improved. However, the prognosis for this 37-year-old female patient with Covid-19 is still severe because of damage to both her heart and lungs. Previously, on June 12, at this center, ECMO was also placed for NTT patients (67 years old). The patient tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, then was admitted to Bac Giang Lung Hospital for treatment from June 3 with shortness of breath, cough, SpO2 85%, mechanical ventilation and dialysis. Medical facilities are having 117 Covid-19 patients with severe prognosis On June 12, the patient was transferred to the ICU in a very serious condition, unresponsive to the ventilator, so he was intubated, mechanically ventilated, but the patient’s lungs were badly damaged and spread to both sides. The patient was placed by the team of Danang Hospital and medical staff within the same day. According to Dr. Hung, the patient is now awake, still dependent on ECMO, and his lungs are on an improving trend. It is known that as of the afternoon of June 15, there are 60 patients at the 101-bed ICU Intensive Care Center. In which, the good news is that more than 25 patients have been successfully weaned from HFNC; Eight patients tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 for the first time and two patients had a negative test for SARS-CoV-2 for the second time. According to the Treatment Sub-Committee, the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control, so far, there are 117 Covid-19 patients with severe prognosis in health facilities nationwide, 52 cases with very severe prognosis, and 6 cases with severe prognosis. case is at risk of death.

Thai people get vaccinated against Covid-19 at Bang Sue Station in Bangkok. (Photo by Bangkok Post Office) On June 15, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha apologized to the people for delays in the nationwide Covid-19 vaccination program and said there were many reasons for the delay. this late. The Bangkok Post quoted Prayut as saying that the Thai government only received small batches of vaccines, not large batches at the same time. At the same time, vaccine shortages and delay in vaccination schedules only occur at vaccination sites with high vaccination capacity and have used up allotted vaccines. According to Prayut, the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines cannot be done quickly, and the production and quality control of vaccines are very time consuming. Many other countries in the world also have this problem. In addition, Thailand’s vaccination program was also adjusted to speed up the vaccination of high-risk groups in epidemic areas, thereby controlling the epidemic and protecting the activities of health workers. machine. This also affects some people who have previously registered for the Covid-19 vaccine. In addition, the vaccination process also involves many agencies and organizations, and misunderstandings can occur in the immunization coordination process. Prayut said those who had already registered for the vaccine but had their appointment rescheduled would not have to re-register and their registration would remain valid. He said: “As the Prime Minister and Director of the Thai Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), I am the commander-in-chief of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in Thailand. I apologize for the problems that have occurred and I will take full responsibility.” Prayut said the government has distributed 7 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to provinces across the country and so far 6.5 million doses have been administered to people. He affirmed that he also closely follows information about vaccinations and does his best to solve problems that arise. “We will find ways to solve the problems to ensure the maximum benefit for the people and reduce their anxiety,” he said. The Thai government has now ordered 100 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to immunize about 50 million people, or 70% of the country’s population, this year. Prayut confirmed that Thailand will order more vaccines to be able to increase the number of people vaccinated to 80 to 90% of the population next year.

Le Thanh Ton Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City is deserted because of the implementation of social distancing. (Photo: Thanh Vu/VNA) Currently, Ho Chi Minh City has many outbreaks of unknown origin in the community and from there spreading to many people, so it is necessary to accelerate the screening and wide-ranging work to end the infection chains.

HTH female patient, with a healthy history, no underlying disease, was found to have Covid-19 on May 26, transferred to Bac Giang Lung Hospital for treatment, had to breathe oxygen but her shortness of breath did not improve. . 2 days later, the patient was transferred to non-invasive mechanical ventilation. On June 2, she continued to be intubated, mechanically ventilated, dialysis osiris, and used antibiotics. Dr. Hung and colleagues intervened ECMO for patients at the 101-bed ICU Center in Bac Giang Due to her worsening condition, on the evening of June 14, Ms. H. was transferred to the largest Intensive Care Center (ICU) in the North with 101 beds located at Bac Giang Mental Hospital for mechanical ventilation, dialysis, and use. vasopressor drugs. However, the development of right heart failure was very severe, requiring high-dose vasopressors, bilateral diffuse lung damage, and did not respond to optimal medical treatment. Therefore, at 4 pm on June 15, the patient was assigned to place ECMO (artificial cardiopulmonary support). Dr. Hung said that after placing ECMO, the patient stopped taking vasopressors and improved the blood oxygenation index. However, the prognosis remains severe due to damage to both the heart and lungs. In this case, it will be necessary to continue to closely monitor each indicator. Earlier on June 12, also at the 101-bed ICU Center, doctors of Da Nang Hospital coordinated ECMO intervention for a 67-year-old female patient NTT., 67 years old. This case also had a history of being perfectly healthy. The patient tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, then was admitted to Bac Giang Lung Hospital for treatment from June 3 in a state of shortness of breath, cough, and blood oxygen reduced to 85%. enter and filter blood.

Inside a shopping mall in the capital Kuala Lumpur, June 1. (Photo: Reuters) The Malaysian Government’s strategy to bring the country out of the Covid-19 crisis consists of four stages and specific criteria. Accept economic damage to flatten the epidemic curve Malaysia began implementing a nationwide blockade order from June 1, after the number of daily cases exceeded 9,000 cases and put tremendous pressure on the health system. Restrictive measures will be extended until June 28. In a televised speech on June 15, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said that the nationwide blockade order had helped Malaysia “flatten the curve” of the epidemic and avoid falling into a tragedy. During the lockdown, the Malaysian economy suffered about one billion ringgit a day (about $243 million). Most businesses have to close, except for some essential service and economic sectors. However, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said that “light will be at the end of the tunnel” when it comes to speeding up vaccinations. Yassin announced the recovery plan as the number of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia continues to decline and an additional 16 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been secured to the country by the end of July. National Recovery Plan in four phases Prime Minister Yassin announced a four-stage National Recovery Plan with three specific indicators to use as a basis for deciding whether to lift restrictions and if so, when. Each phase will be implemented based on the average number of cases per day, the capacity of the public health system and the population vaccination rate. Malaysia is in phase one of this plan. The number of new Covid-19 cases in the country remains high, the public health system is in a very critical situation, the vaccination rate is low, and the nationwide movement control order is in effect. In stages, restrictions on economic activities and the social sector will be further eased. The nationwide movement control order took effect from June 11. (Photo: AP) Malaysia will move to phase two of the plan if the daily number of new cases falls below 4,000 cases per day, the vaccination rate reaches 10%, and the intensive care units operate at “moderate” capacity. If in phase one, only essential services are allowed to operate, all fields and social activities are banned, then in phase two, there will be some more economic sectors such as manufacturing industry The output is allowed to operate up to 80% capacity. However, social activities and interstate travel are still not allowed. The government wants to bring the country into phase two as early as next July. Malaysia will enter phase three when the daily number of cases falls below 2,000 cases per day, the health care system operates in a more comfortable state and at least 40% of the population receives two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine- 19. All economic sectors will be allowed to operate, except for those considered high risk such as at nightclubs, pubs, event centers, spas and beauty salons. “All economic sectors will be operating at 80% capacity, similar to the second phase. And social activities such as education and some sports activities may resume in stages,” Yassin said. He expressed hope that Malaysia will move to phase three as early as the end of August. The fourth phase will take place when the daily number of cases is less than 500 cases/day, the health system and intensive care beds operate at a safe level, at least 60% of the population is fully vaccinated. “Based on the predictions of the National Covid-19 Vaccination Plan, this transition is expected to be implemented as early as October 2021,” Prime Minister Yassin said. At that time, all economic sectors will be back to work, more social restrictions will be lifted and interstate travel and domestic travel will be resumed. To date, Malaysia has recorded more than 667,876 cases of Covid-19, of which more than 4,000 have died and nearly 594 thousand have completely recovered. Malaysia recorded more than 5,000 new cases on almost all days from May 19 to now. Currently, Malaysia ranks third in Southeast Asia, after Indonesia and the Philippines, in the number of Covid-19 cases.

Warning: Hackers take advantage of the Covid-19 epidemic to spread malicious code. Illustration Taking advantage of the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic in many countries around the world and even in Vietnam, hacker groups have opened many cyberattack campaigns through fake emails with documents containing malicious code. , with titles and content related to the Covid-19 epidemic to trick users into opening documents. As noted by experts of CyRadar Information Security Joint Stock Company, the hot topic of the Covid-19 epidemic and the Covid-19 vaccine has continued to be exploited by many hacker groups in their campaigns to defraud Vietnamese users. Nam through the form of sending fake emails with attached document files containing malicious code. Specifically, two cyberattack campaigns in the form of sending fake emails with attached documents related to the Covid-19 epidemic, including “Jam Gia Dien dich Covid-19.docx” and “Covid-19– Vaccines.xlsm”. The above docx and xlsm file formats, according to experts’ analysis, have malicious code installed. When the user opens the document file, the malicious code will penetrate the computer, allowing the remote hacker to control the computer through commands. From there, hackers can also order to download many other malicious codes, steal data, passwords, screenshots… Currently, as noted by CyRadar, the number of cases where users are tricked into downloading and opening fake documents related to the Covid-19 epidemic and the Covid-19 vaccine are not many. However, in the context of a complicated epidemic and a growing remote working model, experts predict that in the coming time, there may be more hacker groups that continue to take advantage of the Covid-19 epidemic to attack scams. user island.

Immediately after, the Center for Disease Control of Dong Thap province conducted a confirmation PCR test sample for this case and the result was negative for SARS-CoV-2. Dong Thap province has two confirmed PCR testing facilities. Explaining this result, the Dong Thap health sector said that usually, rapid tests have high sensitivity to easily screen all suspected cases so as not to miss subjects when investigating and tracing. But with the rapid test, it is not possible to confirm that the subject has Covid-19 but after performing the rapid test, a PCR test must be performed to confirm the screened result. New PCR test confirms whether the subject has Covid-19 or not. Related to the above case, today, there has been a lot of information on social networks that reflects incorrectly, causing confusion and insecurity in public opinion. Phuong Chau Sa Dec International Hospital is operating normally, well streamlining all stages, well implementing regulations on epidemic prevention and control for medical examination and inpatient departments.

Corona protection in companies Are employers allowed to force vaccination?

Status: 08.06.2021 7:13 p.m.

Since the beginning of the week, company doctors have also been able to vaccinate against Covid-19. But what about legally? Can companies require their staff to be vaccinated? And are they allowed to grant privileges to those who have been vaccinated? From Jens Eberl, WDR The companies have a great interest in preventing infections with the coronavirus and sick leave. This is why many employers want their employees to be vaccinated. With the start of vaccinations by the company doctors, various legal issues between employers and employees come to the fore. An overview.

Can the employer oblige his staff to vaccinate?

Employees only need to be vaccinated if there is a legal obligation to do so. There is no statutory vaccination requirement with Covid-19. “However, special features apply in facilities such as hospitals, prevention or rehabilitation facilities and medical practices,” says the Brühl-based specialist lawyer for labor law, Michael Felser. “They must ensure that all measures required by the state of the art of medical science are taken there to prevent infections and the spread of pathogens. Curiously, however, this does not apply in care facilities for the elderly, although the problem here is likely to be comparable”, so Felser. In the health care facilities mentioned, the employer cannot force employees to vaccinate either. However, he must ensure that non-vaccinated people pose no risk to patients. Patient protection can therefore make it necessary that non-vaccinated people can no longer work in certain areas.

Do employees have to inform the employer about their vaccination status?

Actually, there is no obligation to provide information about the personal vaccination status to the employer. However, the Gelsenkirchen labor lawyer Arndt Kempgens emphasizes that companies have to take corona protective measures for their employees. But they could only do that if the corona vaccination status was known. Kempgens concludes from this that in connection with Corona, under labor law – as an exception – there could be an obligation on the part of employees to notify the vaccination status and, under certain circumstances, to prove it.

Are vaccination incentives such as bonus payments from the employer permitted?

Employers could pay a “vaccination bonus”, for example through a one-off sum of money, vouchers or extra vacation days. Lawyer Felser says: “This is not entirely uncritical, because rewards can exert undue pressure not to exercise one’s rights. For example, courts have only declared rewards for employees who rarely get sick to be admissible under strict conditions.” The trade unions consider incentives for those willing to vaccinate to be permissible. However, they have a say in any case, as such a bonus is subject to co-determination. Kempgens emphasizes, however, that it must be fair: “There must not only be a bonus for those who don’t like vaccinations as an incentive to vaccinate, but if so, then for everyone.”

Can the employer exert “vaccination pressure”? Can the staff defend themselves against this?

If there is no statutory vaccination requirement, the employer cannot exert any pressure, neither with instructions nor with threats such as transfer or even warnings and dismissal. Such measures would be illegal. However, attorney Kempgens reports: “We are currently hearing more and more of such cases in legal practice. Pressure is exerted to convince those unwilling to vaccinate.” In extreme cases, employees can even defend themselves against this with an action for an injunction before the labor courts.

Are professional disadvantages possible if you don’t get vaccinated?

If there is no compulsory vaccination, the employer cannot differentiate according to whether someone is vaccinated or not or whether they have not wanted to be vaccinated in the past, as long as there was no obligation to do so. In medical institutions, however, the employer can reject applicants if they are not vaccinated and do not want to be vaccinated. Lawyer Kempgens, however, restricts: “Unvaccinated employees require other protective measures in the company and also lead to disagreements among the employees. For this reason, non-vaccinated employees will certainly not be preferred in the company in the near future.”

Are employers allowed to distinguish between vaccinated and non-vaccinated people?

“In my opinion, they even have to,” says Kempgens. “As with official measures, labor law restrictions are more difficult to justify for vaccinated people, while labor law protective measures have to be stronger for non-vaccinated people.” Felser believes privileges are conceivable, such as the earlier return of vaccinated employees from the home office to the office or the use of communal facilities such as the canteen. However, the incentive or pressure from such preferences should not be disproportionate.

Immunity in a person who has had COVID-19 lasts up to 13 months after infection. A study at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (USA) also emphasizes the effect of vaccination after COVID-19 infection, because some patients under observation have very low antibody levels. In a study by Rockefeller University scientists (USA) who followed 63 people with COVID-19 in the spring of 2020. They found that antibodies are produced by recording B lymphocytes memory becomes more effective in neutralizing SARS-CoV-2. In addition, the researchers also found that “vaccination boosts immunity naturally developed by these people during infection, to the point where they can be protected against new variants appear”. Therefore, once infected with the virus and vaccinated against COVID-19, immunity will be created especially strong. Rosemary ( Femme Actuelle June 2021 )

According to information from the Center for Intensive Care, female patient HTH (37 years old) was admitted to Bac Giang Lung Hospital on May 26 and given oxygen, but her disease progress was not good. On May 28, the patient was given HFNC (High Flow Oxygen Therapy through the Nasal Catheter). On June 2, the patient was intubated with mechanical ventilation, osiris dialysis, and used antibiotics. Severe COVID-19 patients placed ECMO at the largest Intensive Care Center in the North.

In which, the good news is that more than 25 patients have been successfully weaned from HFNC; Eight patients tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 for the first time and two patients tested negative for the second time.

The South Korean government will come up with a plan to support vaccines for North Korea after comprehensively reviewing the domestic vaccine supply situation and the consensus of the people. Illustration. Earlier, at a press conference on the sidelines of the G7 Summit, South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed that he will expedite the supply of vaccines to North Korea, emphasizing that South Korea will become a “global vaccine production center”. , contributing to the fight against Covid-19. According to President Moon Jae-in, the Covid-19 vaccine needs to be distributed fairly to low-income countries so that the whole world can escape the Covid-19 pandemic. As South Korea plays the role of a global vaccine production hub, North Korea is of course also subject to cooperation. If North Korea agrees, Seoul will actively promote cooperation in providing vaccines to Pyongyang. President Moon Jae-in said the United States also supports humanitarian assistance to North Korea.
