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.

Ho Chi Minh City continues to record many Covid-19 cases. Specifically, 2 cases of Covid-19 were isolated immediately after entering An Giang; 76 cases were recorded domestically in Ho Chi Minh City (46), Bac Giang (20), Bac Ninh (7), Nghe An (3); in which 71 cases were detected in isolation or blockade areas.

Disinfectant spray at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City Photo: Uyen Phuong Translation in Ho Chi Minh City is very complex Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc said that there are currently 7 enterprises in industrial parks (IZs) in Ho Chi Minh City with COVID-19 cases. Most of the places have only 1-2 cases, there is no sign of spreading to other places. At the bridge point in Ho Chi Minh City, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that after the first 15 days, the epidemic situation in the city was still “very complicated”; There are still some chains discovered in the community. “However, in terms of epidemiology, we have a chance to control the chains of infection,” said the Deputy Health Minister. In Ho Chi Minh City, a number of aquatic and seafood processing factories have a very high density of workers, in a cold and closed environment, so the number of cases is higher (6-11 cases). It is expected that Ho Chi Minh City will set up about 100 delegations to inspect all factories and enterprises operating in the industrial park. Large factories and enterprises need to have a plan to arrange accommodation for the core workers, in the industrial park or a closed process from accommodation, dormitory, to the factory to work, live and bring. about. The deputy minister said that currently, Ho Chi Minh City has prepared a treatment plan for 5,000 patients, but needs to prepare more equipment to treat patients on ventilators, with severe developments. Do not “circle but loose”! That is the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam for Ho Chi Minh City. He emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City is a big city, the authorities and people have gone through the practical process of fighting the epidemic, so the decisions on social distancing, isolation and blockade must be in the spirit of trying to be as concise as possible. . The purpose of social distancing is to slow the spread of the epidemic, identify outbreaks, sources of infection, and scale, to narrowly, tightly, and strive not to prolong the situation. widespread social distancing. Ho Chi Minh City has passed 14 days of social distancing, must urgently investigate the epidemiology, classify the areas considered safe or have a solution after continuing to implement some measures that are determined to be safe. to loosen. “On the contrary, the areas at risk must be tightened even more, not to the situation of mass concentration as reflected by the people; clearly define public areas not to gather large numbers of people; control traffic flows from outbreak areas in the city. The spirit is not equal to everything, because we have to serve dual goals, even in fighting the epidemic. If the area is wide but not tight inside, it will not only affect the economy and society, but it will also be very difficult to fight the epidemic,” the Deputy Prime Minister requested. Pilot guide to isolating F1 cases at home For industrial zones, the Deputy Prime Minister asked Ho Chi Minh City to “keep up with strong measures”. The city needs to increase testing and warning to quickly detect infections in the first 3 days. “Although Ho Chi Minh City’s testing capacity is very good compared to other provinces, with a population of 10 million people and many industrial zones, the city must have a plan to increase testing capacity in case the epidemic occurs in the industrial zone. In particular, the coordination of testing must ensure consistency among the testing units, meeting the sampling rate, tracing to catch up with the spread of the epidemic, absolutely not allowing the testing situation to be interrupted. slow, mistaken due to coordination work as happened in some places,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted. In the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City needs to urgently complete the pilot guidance on isolating F1 cases at home, ensuring strict medical safety as well as people’s privacy, in accordance with the conditions of the city. in situations where a large number of people are infected. Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said that from June 18, Ho Chi Minh City will pilot self-testing samples and carry out F1 isolation at home. At the same time, a review will be organized to ensure safety in the concentrated isolation area and prevent cross-infection; strengthen the review outside the community, industrial zones. According to the Ministry of Health, on June 17, Vietnam recorded 515 new cases. In which, there are 12 isolated cases immediately after entry and 503 cases recorded domestically in Bac Giang (327), Ho Chi Minh City (137), Tien Giang (13), Bac Ninh (12), Binh Duong (7), Ha Tinh (4), Lang Son (2), Nghe An (1).

Stop cross-infection in concentrated isolation khu Chairman of Bac Giang Provincial People’s Committee Le Anh Duong said that hot spots around industrial zones in Viet Yen have been cleared and cleaned. New infections appeared mainly in 25/286 concentrated isolation areas for workers of Hosiden Company. At this point, Bac Giang province will continue to expand the density in concentrated isolation areas with new infections according to high-risk groups (1 person/room), medium risk (2-3 people/room), high-risk low (4 people/room). Bac Giang classifies concentrated isolation areas according to red (with new cases for 2 consecutive days or 1 day with many cases), yellow (with cases of infection), blue (no cases of infection), to focus on inspection and key surveillance, limiting cross-infection, etc. Up to now, Bac Giang has 123 factories with about 20,000 workers returning to work in the industrial park. Enterprises strictly comply with the regulations on epidemic prevention and control in the direction that the workers of any enterprise will stay together, eat together, work together in shifts and crews. So 3 companies detected 9 cases but did not lead to widespread spread. Bac Giang has a permanent monitoring department for epidemic prevention and control in the industrial park. Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam asked Bac Giang province to focus on expanding the density in concentrated isolation areas with cases to stop cross-infection.

Smart Thanh Hoa application interface on the phone. Facing the complicated situation of the COVID-19 epidemic, many localities have come up with solutions and applications to solve the “problem” while ensuring work and implementing effective disease prevention and control. Thanh Hoa Department of Information and Communications has built a directing and operating information page of the province’s Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control and Smart Thanh Hoa application contributing to the control and prevention of epidemics.

Based on the comments of Quang Ninh province, the Ministry of Health will continue to finalize the plan of medical isolation for Covid-19 prevention and control for people on entry, pilot implementation for people on entry. At Van Don International Airport, it is expected that from July 1, experience will be drawn and replicated nationwide.

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.

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.

The resort island of Bali lost $4.3 billion in income last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. (Photo: NT) In an effort to revive the tourism industry that is suffering from the pandemic, Indonesia plans to establish tourism corridors in some of its famous tourist destinations such as Batam Island, Bintan in the Riau Islands and Bali. Previously, the Indonesian government also tested a program to send civil servants to Bali to work. The official of the Covid-19 task force, Sonny Harmadi, said on June 6 that the government was completing the implementation of a tourism bubble in three regions. According to this program, tourist destinations implementing tourism bubbles must have a low number of Covid-19 cases, a low rate of Covid-19 patients in hospital, and have relaxed regulations restricting public activities. . The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy will first open its doors to visitors to Bali and the Riau Islands. According to Mr. Sonny, not all of these locations will reopen to international visitors but will gradually open, starting from the green areas (areas that have been treated with the epidemic). “Local authorities announced that, first, the green zones in these two localities will welcome international visitors again after the tourism corridor is opened,” Mr. Sonny said. In Bali, the green zones include Sanur, Ubud, and Nusa Dua, while the green zones at Bintan are home to three resorts and on Batam Island are several golf venues. Sunset at Tanah Lot temple is always an attractive moment for tourists when coming to Bali island (Photo: NT) The Indonesian government will also set specific regulations for international visitors to these green areas. Although travelers are not required to self-quarantine, travelers must have a negative PCR test result for Covid-19 before departing for Indonesia. At the same time, visitors must also be fully vaccinated against the Covid-19 vaccine. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the list of countries for Indonesia to implement a tourism corridor has been completed including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, China, Singapore and the Netherlands. Lan. Tourism is one of the industries that suffer the most damage of the “land of ten thousand islands” economy. Before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indonesian Government was expected to welcome 18 million international tourists in 2020 after recording 16.1 million international arrivals in 2019. However, the agency Statistics Indonesia at the end of 2020 announced that from January to October 2020, the country only received 3.72 million international visitors, a decrease of 72.35% compared to the same period in 2019. Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has set a target in 2021 to attract between 13 million and 14 million international tourists. Prior to the announcement of the tourism corridor plan for international visitors, the Indonesian government announced the “Work from Bali” (WFB) program to revive the tourism and creative economy industries that have been frozen because of the pandemic. Covid-19 of this island. Accordingly, WFB plans to bring 25% of Indonesian civil servants from seven different ministries to the resort island of Bali to work and live in hotel complexes in the Nusa Dua area. This initiative comes after statistics show that the total revenue of the world-famous resort island of Bali has “evaporated” $ 4.3 billion due to the pandemic. Therefore, to regain the confidence of the people in the country, the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has planned to test this program from the first quarter of 2021 and will complete it in the third quarter of this year. The ministry also aims to increase occupancy in Bali to 30%. “We started the WFB program in January and we are already seeing early results in revitalizing the tourism industry in Bali. From only 2,000 to 2,500 visitors, it has now reached 7,000 to 7,500 visitors, and the number can be tripled,” said Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno optimistically.

Workers collect garbage in the quarantine area. Photo: CTC Worried waste collection workers Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, garbage collectors are very concerned because the waste source has the potential to contain pathogens, especially in isolation and blockade areas. However, due to the nature of their work, environmental sanitation workers still have to perform this task. According to Mr. Tran Van Toan (environmental sanitation worker of Ho Chi Minh City Urban Environment Company Limited): “The COVID-19 epidemic broke out, we felt very worried, the nature of our work had to continue. come in contact with a lot of waste and can’t tell which ones contain pathogens. However, we are fully equipped with protective equipment and strictly adhere to epidemic prevention and control, so we are somewhat reassured.” Agreeing, Ms. PTT (a garbage collector in Tan Phu district) shared: “With the current epidemic situation, many people don’t even dare to go out, let alone access the isolation and collection areas. garbage, because it’s really hard to know where there are infected people. However, sanitation workers like us, if they don’t do it, they won’t have a source of income to take care of their families. We hope that we will be given priority to vaccinate against COVID-19 to help alleviate some worries.” There is a risk of disease transmission from medical waste Ho Chi Minh City Urban Environment Company Limited (CITENCO) is the unit that collects and transports medical waste and waste at hospitals, isolation areas for treatment of COVID-19 patients in Ho Chi Minh City. and isolation areas, blockade areas established under the decision of the People’s Committees of districts in the city. According to experts, in isolated and isolated areas, the waste that is often at risk of infection is hazardous medical waste. For workers who collect, transport and process this type of waste, there is also a high risk of infection. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Dung, Chairman of the Vietnam Built Environment Association, commented: The collection, transportation and treatment of waste in isolation areas, field hospitals and COVID-19 patients’ blockade It is necessary to strictly follow the instructions and regulations on environmental safety and hygiene.

Also according to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Dung, environmental sanitation workers who collect, transport and process various types of waste are very susceptible to exposure. Therefore, they need to be equipped with safe and appropriate working tools, and should enjoy appropriate protection and remuneration. “In my opinion, first of all, they should be given priority to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent disease,” said Dr. Proposal to prioritize vaccination for garbage collectors According to a representative of CITENCO, currently all medical waste in hospitals, centers and polyclinics is collected and treated by the company according to the strict process of hazardous waste. During the outbreak of COVID-19, the company was directed by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to be in charge of collecting domestic waste in the isolation area for patients infected with COVID-19. To ensure the safety of workers during the process of collecting, transporting and treating wastes that may contain COVID-19, CITENCO proposes to the City People’s Committee and the Department of Health to give priority to public officials and employees. The company is participating in the collection and transportation of waste vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible. “The recommended vaccination cases include the staff directly managing and directing the company’s epidemic prevention and control; workers and drivers who directly collect, transport and treat wastes that may contain COVID-19, medical waste, domestic waste, and cremation; workers often come into contact with people,” said the representative. In Hanoi, Mr. Nguyen Huu Tien, General Director of Hanoi Urban Environment One Member Limited Liability Company (URENCO), also said: The company has sent a written request to the Hanoi People’s Committee, the Steering Committee for COVID-19 prevention and control. The Hanoi Department of Health considers and creates favorable conditions for the company’s officers and employees to be given priority to vaccinate against COVID-19. Hazardous waste is strictly handled According to CITENCO, the collection, transportation and treatment of medical waste are carried out by the company according to a very strict process, ensuring the safety of workers and preventing the spread of disease to the outside. The workers are equipped with protective gear that meets the standards of the medical industry. Accordingly, the waste is sealed in a special yellow container or bag, labeled with a warning of the risk of infection.

The disinfection robot combines two methods of UVC and chemical disinfection to help kill bacteria and reduce the spread of disease. The robot also has the ability to move flexibly, remotely or pre-programmed for a certain sterilization route. Le Anh Son, Deputy Director of Phenikaa Institute of Research and Technology (Phenikaa University), said that the robot is also capable of taking on tasks to support epidemic prevention and control in Bac Giang such as: Transporting necessities , monitoring sick and isolated people through monitoring cameras. Phenikaa University’s disinfection robot. The robot is fully self-propelled, avoiding collisions by using LiDAR technology, integrating artificial intelligence to recognize and remind people to wear masks, measure body temperature and a host of other superior features. . On the evening of June 2, the robot was put into operation for the first time. Before that, in the middle of May 2021 when the epidemic was complicated, students of Phenikaa University launched the campaign “Online learning – Show talent against the epidemic”. The students spent time and effort to create a droplet shield for medical staff, medical staff at hospitals, treatment facilities, and concentrated isolation. Up to this point, 10,000 droplet shields have been sent to more than 30 localities, of which more than half have been transferred to the epidemic center Bac Ninh, Bac Giang. High-tech products “make in Vietnam” such as: COVID-19 epidemiological information maps, disinfection robots, self-propelled robots, smart school solutions … or simply splash shields, orezol water These are all feelings of love and sharing from the collective staff, lecturers, scientists and students of Phenikaa University sent to the epidemic center.

Assoc. Prof, Dr. Tran Quy Tuong, Director of the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Health, said that technology solutions are the optimal choice for the current epidemic prevention and control in quickly tracking F0, setting up F0. list F1, F2. Bac Giang and Bac Ninh are two hot epidemic centers when the epidemic enters the industrial zone. The number of cases is increasing day by day, there is no sign of cooling down, the ratio F1 to F0 is very large. The Ministry of Health has mobilized more than 2,000 health workers and is continuing to mobilize to support these two provinces. According to Mr. Tran Quy Tuong, for the current epidemic prevention and control, it is very important to quickly trace F0 and make a list of F1, F2 to control the spread of the disease. For areas with a small number of cases, medical staff and other forces can be traced. However, when the number of cases increases greatly, there will not be enough human resources to carry out direct contact tracing in the area. And at this time, the technology solution is the optimal choice. Regarding electronic tracing, we currently have two main data sources, which are from the Bluezone application and the Medical Declaration Management Information System. Bluezone allows to record close contacts between smart mobile phones that install and use Bluezone. The medical declaration management information system includes medical declaration information, travel schedules and travel history to places of people. In order to quickly track down, the Information Technology Department has supported Bac Giang and Bac Ninh to apply information technology in epidemic prevention and control. Mr. Tran Quy Tuong said that in Bac Ninh, the Department of Information and Communications advised the Provincial Steering Committee to set up an Information Analysis Team to analyze data sources, propose tracing, testing and assessment. assess the risk of spread, make timely recommendations in disease prevention and control. The messaging system was built to quickly and promptly deploy the instructions of the Provincial Steering Committee to members of the Community Covid Team. For workers, the Management Board of Industrial Parks has coordinated with the Department of Information and Communications to develop information management software for all workers in industrial parks, helping to manage, monitor and trace quickly when there are cases in industrial zones; and provide timely data for direction and administration. According to statistics from the Medical Declaration Management Information System, the total number of medical declarations in Bac Ninh up to June 1 was 1,059,179. In Bac Giang, in the face of complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, on May 22, 2021, the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Bac Giang province issued a launching document and asked all people in the province to declare 2nd time to help authorities monitor and manage cases with epidemiological factors, and promptly detect people suspected of being infected with Covid-19. After three days, there were 456,080 medical declarations recorded in the system out of a total of 881,400 medical declarations of the whole province. On May 22, with the support of the Information Technology Department, the Ministry of Health, the province established an electronic monitoring and tracing team consisting of 15 members from the Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control of the province and the province. group. The members of the Team have been given accounts and trained to exploit data from the Medical Declaration Management Information System for monitoring and tracing. As of June 1, 2021, the Team has made 3,976 calls for people to declare health with symptoms or epidemiological factors, instruct people on measures to prevent and control the epidemic suitable for each person or transfer information for commune and district levels to verify and handle directly. Especially based on the system’s information, the Team has detected 66 F1 cases currently isolated at home and has transferred the information to the district level for management according to regulations. On May 29, 2021, the Ministry of Health issued Decision No. 2666/QD-BYT on the issuance of Guidelines for the use of medical declaration and close contact detection applications for the prevention and control of the covid epidemic. -19, one of the important purposes of this decision is to support the implementation of electronic medical declarations to help manage, monitor health and detect cases early for effective disease prevention and control. Covid-19. If people and agencies and units strictly follow the instructions of the Ministry of Health, when there is a case of F0, the tracking and listing of F1, F2 will be very quick and timely. As of May 31, Bac Ninh province 578,143 people install and use Bluezone application on smartphones, accounting for 42.24% of the province’s population, ranking 2nd among 63 provinces and cities nationwide; The province has 10,519 establishments that make up QR codes from the health declaration system for people to check in with the Bluezone application. Through checking the checkin data at the office, quarantine checkpoints, industrial parks, accommodation facilities, the number of check-ins is quite large. As of May 31, 2021, Bac Giang province There are 480,306 people installing and using Bluezone application on smartphones, accounting for 26.63% of the province’s population, ranking 9th out of 63 provinces and cities nationwide.

However, since the case was recorded at Changi Airport at the end of April, the COVID-19 wave broke out again in the lion island nation. Since April 26, the country has recorded more than 200 community infections. This number in March was only 9 cases. From the initial infection, Changi Airport is now the largest outbreak in Singapore with more than 70 cases. Singapore recorded more than 200 community COVID-19 cases since April 26. (Photo: Straits Times) Mr. Ong Ye Kung – co-chair of the Singapore Inter-Ministerial Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control said that the second wave F0 could be transit travelers. “Most of the cases at the airport are concentrated in the area with the flow of passengers from high-risk countries including Southeast Asia, in the baggage and immigration control area. In that area, The staff went to have lunch and dinner at the food court and commercial service area in the second basement of T3 station, from which we determined that they had infected people when they came here.” this man said. After detecting the cluster of infections, Singapore immediately blocked Changi Airport. But medical experts in this country believe that the virus has spread to the community before the blockade order. Facing the complicated epidemic situation, Singapore decided to further tighten social distancing measures from May 16 to June 13. According to the new regulations, the number of people allowed to gather will be reduced from 5 people to 2 people, each family can only receive 2 guests a day. Employees are forced to work from home, restaurants and public food centers will temporarily suspend on-site dining, serving only take-out food. Shopping centers further reduce the number of people entering and leaving. Attractions, exhibitions, museums and libraries will reduce their capacity to 25% from the current 50%. Similar to Singapore, another anti-epidemic model is Taiwan are also struggling to cope with the second wave of COVID-19. The island has gone 253 days without recording any domestic infections, but now the number of COVID-19 cases is increasing sharply. In 2020, Taiwan, although bordering China, recorded less than 1,000 cases. Guardian call this an extraordinary number. However, on May 14, Taiwan’s health authorities reported 29 “domestic” cases. This number increased to 180 on May 15, 206 on May 16, 333 on May 17 and 240 today. In just one week, the number of COVID-19 cases in Taiwan increased by more than 40%. Medical staff prepare to test a person suspected of having COVID-19 in Taiwan. (Photo: Reuters) Cracks began to appear in the anti-epidemic wall of Taiwan at the end of April when 2 pilots of China Airlines were confirmed with COVID-19. The pilots flew together on a cargo flight to the US and were quarantined at another Novotel upon their return to Taiwan. By early May, dozens of China Airlines pilots, flight attendants, their relatives and hotel staff were confirmed to have COVID-19. However, before these cases were discovered, some went to restaurants, bars and clubs. These cases led Taiwanese to criticize the government’s decision to reduce the quarantine period for crew members from 5 to 3 days in mid-April. After an investigation, the Novotel hotel was discovered to let a number of quarantined pilots share the same building with regular tourists. During the time when Taiwan stops welcoming foreign guests, Novotel Hotel opens incentive programs to welcome visitors on the island. Dr Chiou Shu-ti, a former health commissioner of Taipei, said authorities were “playing with fire” by easing quarantine requirements. After recording the number of cases skyrocketed, the COVID-19 warning in Taipei and New Taipei was raised to level 3 in a 4-level scale, People must wear masks outside, not to gather outdoors for more than 10 people. Cinemas, sports centres, libraries and entertainment venues were also forced to close. It is not clear how the new drastic measures will help Taiwan and Singapore overcome the new wave of the epidemic. But experts believe it will take weeks or even months for these two places to once again defeat COVID-19.

The tour is organized in the form of Free & Easy, including airline tickets to the US and hotel rooms of 3 stars or more standard; Covid-19 test fee before entering the US; visa fees to the US; Travel insurance and guides support registration, procedures for vaccination against Covid-19 vaccine in the US. The price offered is 44.99 million VND/pax for the 8 day 7 night tour. This is the first travel agency in Vietnam to organize a tour to the US to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Other companies are also listening to the situation to organize similar tours. Some travel companies in Vietnam are also considering and learning about US tours to vaccinate Previously, in the region, some Thai travel companies also offered vaccination tours in the US. Specifically, the company My Journey Travel offers a package “Covid-19 vaccine tour”, a 10-day flight to California (USA). With a cost of 2,400 USD/person (about 55 million VND, excluding airfare), so far, more than 200 people have booked. Prices above include a single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine. Another company, Unithai Trip in Bangkok (Thailand), also launched tour packages from 75,000 baht to 200,000 baht ($2,400 to $6,400, equivalent to 55 to 147 million dong) for flights to San Francisco, Los Angeles. and New York. According to the VNA, tourists from other countries are flocking to the US to combine tourism with vaccination. To date, tens of thousands of tourists from Mexico and some other countries have flown to Texas and Florida to get vaccinated. Or, thousands of wealthy tourists, including politicians, TV stars, leaders of companies and corporations in Latin America, have come to America to get vaccinated. Some chartered private planes to go to the US. Therefore, organizing tours combined with vaccination is a business opportunity for tour operators. Vaccination demand soars Regarding this issue, Mr. Nguyen Trung Khanh, General Director of Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, in PLO newspaper, said that it is normal to go abroad with Vietnamese tourists, not banned. As for entry, they must comply with regulations in the context of the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic. According to some companies and travel experts, the above price of 44.99 million VND is only suitable for those with conditions, because that price does not include food, travel, and personal expenses at the hotel. America. Not to mention, depending on the vaccine, you have to wait for the second shot. With the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, only one dose is needed, but if you want to get the Pfizer vaccine, you have to wait 20 days to get the second shot. After completing the injection, when returning to Vietnam, the tourist is still quarantined for 21 days at an isolation facility and then monitored for 7 days at home according to current entry regulations of the Health sector and the authorities. Thus, a complete trip with vaccinations in the US to be able to contact the community takes from 1 and a half to nearly 2 months, not to mention the cost of isolation when returning home. Bao An

Before embarking on the task, all technical staff are equipped with protective gear, disinfecting to avoid the risk of disease transmission. Under the hot summer sun, 7 officers, employees and technicians of Viettel Bac Giang in tight protective suits still urgently started to deploy the items to be completed in time. Mr. Nguyen Duc Ngoc – infrastructure construction worker of Viettel Bac Giang confided that it was hot outside, but the temperature in the engine room was up to 50 degrees Celsius. “The sweat came out like a shower, it was very uncomfortable, but the brothers still encouraged each other to try to complete it to serve the management and prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic. Everyone hopes to contribute to repelling the Covid-19 epidemic so that life, activities and production can return to normal”, Mr. Ngoc shared. The completion of this system not only ensures the quality of 2/3/4G mobile coverage to serve the communication needs of people and workers in the isolation area, but also contributes to ensuring room management, anti-transparent translation of organ blocks. Some pictures during the process of staff and technicians of Viettel Bac Giang constructing the mobile vehicle broadcasting item serving the Luxshare ICT concentrated isolation area – Van Trung Industrial Park, Viet Yen district on May 27: The technicians worked continuously for many hours in tight protective suits under the intense heat. Meanwhile, the temperature in the engine room reached about 50 degrees Celsius. Despite the hard work, the technicians still encouraged each other to work hard to finish the project as planned. Mr. Nguyen Duc Ngoc confided: ”As a child of Viet Yen district, Bac Giang, I want to promote the work progress as quickly as possible, thereby contributing effectively to the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic. -19 of the local”. Once completed, the mobile broadcasting vehicle will contribute to ensuring smooth communication in the isolation area as well as serving the management of epidemic prevention and control. In addition to mobile broadcasting vehicles, Viettel Bac Giang is also assigned to install surveillance camera systems in all concentrated isolation areas in the province. From May 20 to the morning of May 24, units have installed 1,000 cameras at 100 isolation points. In order to quickly and effectively install surveillance cameras in isolation areas, Viettel Bac Giang has established 30 groups (4 – 5 people/group) to work continuously during the day. Quick dinner of the technician team. The surveillance cameras, after being put into use, will operate continuously, connected to a centralized monitoring system to manage citizens to effectively and properly isolate themselves according to regulations.

This species is extremely toxic, it prefers to hide in coral reefs, rocks and sandy seabeds from intertidal to intertidal zones in southeastern China and tropical seas. Their bodies contain more than 200 pharmacologically active substances and a single drop of venom can kill 20 adults. To date there have been at least 100 recorded deaths from the venom of this species and the actual number could be much higher. The creature we are talking about here is the Cone Snail, also known as the cone snail, is a marine gastropod mollusk, so far more than 70 species have been found along the coast. along the coast of China and there are more than 1,000 species discovered in the world. Their venom is made up of a mixture called peptide conus. Each of them will have a unique venom formula. More than 50,000 conus peptides have been discovered, they are all neurotoxins and no vertebrate species on our planet possesses this form of venom. The Cone Snail has a mostly cone-shaped appearance and the largest can be 23 cm long. They are purely carnivores and predators, feeding mainly on sea worms, small fish, mollusks and even other cone snails. It can release venom at any time in its life, and this species is always ready to wipe out all living things around it. But surely you will find it difficult to understand because in our impression, snails are very slow-moving mollusks, how can they hunt, especially fast-moving species like fish? In fact, the secret to their hunting is not in their movement speed, instead they hunt by using their venom and developing an extremely efficient venom system. All cone snails are masters of poisons, likened to the five poisons in the animal kingdom. They have a tongue pocket in their throat, which contains many hollow toothed tongues, which resemble spearheads and are made of hard chitin. Because of their slow movement speed, cone snails often hunt by “holding a tree and waiting for rabbits”, which will lie in the sand at the bottom of the water, only revealing their long tubular mouth and tentacles in the sand. Once it detects prey such as a small fish or something passing by, it will use strong muscle contractions to shoot the tongue connected with the venom gland from its long tubular mouth at lightning speed and “close the gap”. nail” into the body, injecting poison into the prey. This venom will paralyze prey within seconds and die instantly. To prevent their prey from struggling, some species of snails have created a toxin that can reduce pain and anesthetize the prey’s nerves, making the prey feel no pain and slowly die without even realizing it. know. When the prey is fixed and no longer struggling, the conch will withdraw the “hook” (toothed tongue), pulling the paralyzed prey into the mouth. It’s worth noting that even when it’s not during mealtimes, if it feels threatened, the conch shells will shoot out without hesitation. So if you see brightly colored and beautiful cones on the beach, don’t stress. It came out by accident. Pick it up, especially the larger cone snails. This behavior can kill you because the conch’s nose can pierce the skin, gloves or wetsuit. Especially among cone snails, there is a species called Gastridium geographus, also known as geographical cone snail, killer snail, they are known as one of the most poisonous snails in the world, and one of the most dangerous snails in the world. marine animals that are extremely toxic to humans. One study estimated that this species alone caused 36 deaths. Symptoms of a snail sting include local pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, and vomiting. Symptoms may appear immediately or slowly over several days. In severe cases, muscle paralysis, vision changes and respiratory failure can lead to death. The various neurotoxins contained in cone snails are called cono toxins. In addition to being toxic to humans, in this venom mixture there are many beneficial substances, which can work accurately and quickly on the human nervous system without causing side effects. Therefore, this snail can also open up a new medical future for humans. For example, cono peptides have the potential to prevent spasticity caused by spinal cord injury and may help diagnose and treat small cell lung cancer. Conotoxins can immediately generate nerve signals that reduce heart rate or turn off pain receptors. Ziconotide isolated from it is used as an analgesic. It is said to be 1000 times more effective than morphine and not addictive. Conotoxin ACV1, isolated from Victoria cone cone in Australia, is more effective than morphine and Ziconotide, has a longer analgesic effect and is convenient to use without side effects. It has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of post-operative and neurological conditions, and even accelerates the recovery of nerve damage, and is expected to be developed as a treatment for anxiety. , Parkinson’s disease, muscle tension and hypertension.

Technical training on disinfecting spraying of vehicles carrying isolated subjects The forces participating in the training include the District Military Command, the District Police, the Health Department, the Health Center, and the District General Hospital. During the training session, groups and teams in the concentrated medical isolation framework were trained in theory and practice measures to prevent and control Covid-19 infection in the concentrated medical isolation area; the process of receiving, monitoring medical supervision, ensuring the health of isolated citizens; practical guidance on the use of protective equipment, medical equipment, disinfection and collection of medical waste, etc. All steps are strictly implemented by the Steering Committee, ensuring epidemic prevention requirements. The place selected by Quoc Oai district as a point of concentrated medical isolation for prevention is the old Quoc Oai high school. This school site has the capacity to accept up to 200 citizens. Currently, the Steering Committee for receiving citizens in medical isolation in Quoc Oai district has arranged and arranged some basic utensils and facilities… With quite complete facilities, from bedrooms, kitchens, toilets… to meet the needs of concentrated isolation of citizens. At the rehearsal, Chairman of Quoc Oai District People’s Committee Nguyen Truong Son – Head of the Steering Committee to receive citizens in medical isolation of the district went to check the facilities at this school. Chairman of the District People’s Committee Quoc Oai asked the District Construction Investment Project Management Board to urgently repair and renovate the facilities, add necessary equipment to ensure normal activities for the isolated subjects. . The District Military Command, in coordination with relevant branches such as Health, Public Security, etc., is responsible for receiving and organizing the comprehensive management of isolation areas. Building the process of shuttle, in and out; medical examination, supervision and monitoring for isolated subjects. Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quoc Oai district emphasized, it is very important to train the framework to receive citizens in medical isolation. Thereby, in order to unify the actions of the forces during the operation and performance of the task, contributing to the completion of the task of preventing and controlling the Covid-19 epidemic in the new situation in the district. Foster and improve qualifications, techniques and ability to handle situations of centralized medical reception and isolation.

Specifically, this map provides epidemiological information, such as: living areas and contact places of patients infected with Covid-19 in 14 days, concentrated isolation points, medical isolation areas and checkpoints. disease control …, help people not move to hot spots, avoid infection. When people have a need to find places where Covid-19 patients have been with the exact time, the system will look up the patient’s epidemiological information. With concentrated isolation points, the warning section will show the time of application, the maximum number of receptions, the number of people in quarantine and the number of people that can receive more. To use this digital map, users only need to access the address https://covidmaps.langson.gov.vn . Digital map of Lang Son province So far, the country has had 9 localities deploying Covid-19 epidemiological information mapping software, including: Da Nang, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Quang Ninh, Quang Nam, Gia Lai, and Phu Yen. and Lang Son. Also on May 24, the Military Telecommunications Industry Group (Viettel) completed the installation and integrated connection of 3,000 surveillance cameras in isolated areas in the northern provinces. All image data from the camera is integrated into a centralized management system at the Monitoring Operations Center. The epidemic prevention and control agencies can monitor all activities in isolation areas from the 24-hour management system, minimizing developments that may aggravate the epidemic situation. Before that, right after the Covid-19 epidemic just appeared, Vietnamese technology enterprises were tasked with building software for epidemic prevention and control such as Bluezone, tokhaiyte.vn, NCOVI… In fact, these applications have been applied quite effectively in many localities in the quick tracking of cases. Experience from abroad also proves that the applications contribute effectively in zoning, isolating and stamping out the epidemic. For example, when Covid-19 began to spread in Wuhan (China), this locality applied the Beidou satellite navigation system to monitor freight transport, traffic flow, zoning, and distances. separate people in the city and with neighboring provinces. In particular, China has a system of facial recognition cameras placed everywhere. This system combined with big data, machine learning can analyze the travel schedule, body temperature, number of people in contact, thereby easily partitioning and isolating F1, F2, F3 as soon as F0 is detected.

Map of epidemiological information of Covid-19 in Bac Ninh province Lang Son has just launched the Covid-19 epidemiological information map (CovidMaps) at the address: https://covidmaps.langson.gov.vn, allowing real-time monitoring of the epidemic situation. With the Covid-19 epidemiological information map, Lang Son has more digital technology solutions for management and administration in the local Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control. According to the information on the digital map, as of May 26, this province had 44 F0 cases, 2,213 F1 and more than 19,000 F2 cases and tested 11,380 cases in Lang Son city and 10 cases. district in the province. The CovidMaps map informs the living area and contact location of Covid-19 patients within 14 days, helping people easily identify the route of people infected with Covid-19 and concentrated isolation points to prevent infection. move to. A representative of the Department of Information and Communications of Lang Son province said that the map provides Covid-19 epidemiological information to help people not move to hot spots and avoid infection. People can see concentrated isolation points, medical isolation areas and disease control points in Lang Son displayed on the map in real time. The CovidMaps map also informs the living area and contact location of Covid-19 patients within 14 days. This helps people easily identify the route of people infected with Covid-19 and concentrated isolation points to not move to. The information displayed on the map is quite intuitive and detailed. With concentrated isolation points, the warning section will show the time of application, the maximum number of receptions, the number of people in quarantine and the number of people that can receive more. When people have a need to find places where patients infected with Covid-19 have been with the exact time, the system will look up the patient’s epidemiological information by number. In addition, the digital map also displays a list of patients by number or abbreviation, along with basic personal information such as year of birth, gender, health status and where they are being treated. The digital map is displayed very specifically, on the screen there are annotations for each icon such as the isolation area, the patient’s home area, the epidemic control point… for people to easily grasp, not move to. With the launch of the Covid-19 epidemiological information mapping software on May 24, 2021, Lang Son is the 9th province in the country to provide a Covid-19 epidemiological map tool to help the community track Visualize epidemiological information of local cases via the Internet. Up to now, Da Nang, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Quang Ninh, Quang Nam, Gia Lai and Phu Yen have also deployed Covid-19 epidemiological information mapping software (CovidMaps). As one of the “hot spots” in terms of the number of Covid-19 patients with many complicated developments, Bac Giang has applied the Covid-19 Epidemiological Digital Map. Covidmaps uses digital map technology to digitize useful information such as: Locked areas, medical isolation; lists and information related to each patient (living quarters, travel schedules); concentrated isolation locations; Addresses of hospitals, health stations… Through this, help people, epidemic prevention and control units, and managers update information about the disease quickly, regularly and smoothly. From there, we can analyze the daily situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in the locality in order to proactively implement effective prevention and control measures. Covidmaps Bac Giang has an address at: https://covidmaps.bacgiang.gov.vn; https://bandodichte.bacgiang.gov.vn. The application of Covid digital map has been making an important contribution in supporting the authorities and people in the province to quickly update information, direct and organize the effective implementation of measures to prevent and control the epidemic. On the digital map, as of the morning of May 26, Bac Giang province had recorded 1,454 cases of Covid-19. Previously, Da Nang was one of the leading localities across the country to apply digital maps in the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic in the area. The Covid-19 epidemiological information map was built in August 2020 – when the first outbreak of the disease 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. Representative of Danang Public Service Information Center, 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 find individual bulletins. In particular, from the success of this software after the actual application time in Da Nang, the software development team has supported CovidMaps for a number of other provinces across the country…

Viettel’s technicians have installed 1,000 cameras in isolation areas of Bac Giang. Viettel Group said that, following the direction of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 prevention and control, within seven days, Viettel completed the installation and integrated connection of 3,000 surveillance cameras in isolated areas of the country. northern provinces. Particularly for 130 isolation facilities in 125 communes of Bac Giang province – the locality that is experiencing the most stressful situation in the country, Viettel has mobilized maximum resources to install 1,000 more cameras within five days, quickly. double the normal rate. All image data from the camera is integrated into a centralized management system at the Control Center. The system of application of cloud computing technology allows the National Steering Committee, the Provincial Steering Committee and the Management Division in the isolated area to monitor images 24/7 according to decentralization. By deploying Viettel’s cameras, epidemic prevention and control agencies can monitor all activities in isolation areas from the 24-hour management system, minimizing possible developments. The epidemic situation is more serious when the human and material resources for the province’s surveillance have been mobilized to the maximum capacity. To ensure the safety of officials, employees and society, Viettel’s technical personnel participating in the campaign at isolated locations are fully equipped with protective equipment for epidemic prevention, and trained in epidemic prevention skills. and at each point of staffing to carry out the whole process, from surveying the location until the camera is fully integrated into the centralized management system. After completing the task, Viettel’s staff members are isolated for 21 days at home according to regulations. Mr. Le Dang Dung, General Director of Viettel Group said: “As the country’s key technology enterprise, Viettel is responsible for contributing technology solutions to realize national goals. With the spirit of soldiers, we are always present on the front lines to ensure the safety of the people and society.”

Using the bracelet to manage people in Covid-19 isolation. Emphasizing that the need for isolation monitoring in Vietnam is very large and urgent, the Ministry of Information and Communications pointed out that it is necessary to soon introduce digital technology solutions to implement automatic monitoring, improve monitoring efficiency, and reduce the load on staff. isolation areas and functional forces. In the world, there are a number of countries that have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects. But the Ministry of Information and Communications believes that using available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Buying foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of partners, which can significantly affect Vietnam’s Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Through the survey, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (owning technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. Proposing an option to apply a dedicated bracelet to manage people, the Ministry of Information and Communications said that this device uses GPS technology to record locations, the battery runs for 30 days, has Can send an alert if vandalism is detected or out of the quarantine area. The Ministry of Information and Communications proposed that the National Steering Committee on Covid-19 Prevention and Control assign the Ministry to assume the prime responsibility for, and direct a number of domestic enterprises to research, produce and test using the socialization budget. It is expected that the time to research and customize the product to suit the requirements and mass production in large quantities is about 4 weeks after the technical plan and policy is approved. Currently, the solution of using specialized bracelets in the prevention of Covid-19 has been applied by a number of countries and territories around the world. The two main functions of the dedicated bracelet are: Proximity detection based on Bluetooth low energy technology (with the same operating mechanism as tracing applications); Compliance checking of subjects undergoing mandatory medical isolation based on GPS positioning technology. The use of a dedicated bracelet will overcome some disadvantages such as: Users do not have or cannot use smartphones, users actively turn off Bluetooth or GPS, users do not carry smartphones with them or turn off smartphones. Depending on the needs and methods of epidemic prevention and control of each country and territory, the use of bracelets with either or both of the above technologies is prescribed. For example, Singapore has put into use both close contact detection equipment and equipment to support mandatory isolation monitoring.

However, before he had time to prepare the ingredients, Man heard from his neighbors that the alley in front of the house had been blocked off after a person living here was positive for SARS-CoV-2. “At that time, everyone was surprised, did not understand what happened. However, knowing that the epidemic situation is complicated, all of them strictly follow the instructions of local officials and medical staff.” Like Mr. Man’s family, most of the households in alley 287 are trading and trading in food. At the time of the blockade, many households had prepared cooking ingredients, and breakfast shops that had just moved out had to be cleaned up immediately. “A few stalls of ready-made rice, porridge, and soup cakes that can’t be sold are shared by everyone in the neighborhood, each family taking a few portions to eat. They’re all neighbors, and they both work as wholesalers, so they all try to support each other,” Mr. Man said Zing . Alley 287, Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City was blocked on the morning of May 20. Photo: Chi Hung. “Rescuing” food in the blockade area During the outbreak from April 27 to now, Ho Chi Minh City has recorded 6 positive cases of SARS-CoV-2 and is blocking 9 areas in Go Vap District, District 10, District 3, District 7, Binh Tan district and Thu Duc city. Although quite surprised by the blockade information, people living in these areas remained calm and complied with epidemic prevention measures. Especially for business and trading households, despite facing many disadvantages, they still show their concern and help the community when they switch to distributing food and free food to people in isolated areas. Alley 287 Nguyen Dinh Chieu connects with alley 270 Vo Van Tan about 500 m long with 70 households living. In addition to the large concentration of business households, shops, and restaurants, this alley is the place where Ve Chai market is held every morning. Ms. Linh, a fish seller in the market, said that on the morning of May 20, when her family and many other people had finished packing, the ward officials announced the disbandment, no market meeting and quickly erected a fence to blockade the surrounding area. around the alley. People in the blockade area share food with each other. Photo: Nguyen Nhuong, Trang Anh. Both domestic and foreign, fresh food traders like Ms. Linh choose to give free vegetables, fruits, meat and fish to neighbors to bring home to store refrigerators and gradually eat them during the quarantine days. However, what surprised Ms. Linh was that everyone who visited her shop also offered to pay instead of receiving free items. “Many people say that when they sell, people buy to support them, but when they give, they don’t dare to accept them,” she said. Similarly, Mr. Man’s beef noodle shop was also “rescued” by many familiar neighbors. However, because he did not prepare much and did not suffer much damage, Mr. Man refused. “The first day, everyone in the neighborhood kept ‘rescuing’ from one shop to another. Everyone hopes no one gets hurt much. Like my family, we also run to the market to support the sisters selling fish, selling vegetables and at the same time having food for the coming days.” “Health comes first, money comes second” Ms. Pham Minh lives in block A1, Sunview Town apartment building (Hiep Binh Phuoc ward, Thu Duc city, Ho Chi Minh City) – a place under lockdown after recording a Covid-19 case on May 18. Previously, Ms. Minh sold fruit and some drinks online. However, after the block was blocked, she switched to making smoothies and juices to cheer up her neighbors who were quarantined like her. “Every day, I make about 20-30 glasses of juice and smoothies to distribute for free to neighboring households. It’s not much, but it’s also a way to spread positive energy and optimism to everyone around,” Minh said. On each glass of juice, Ms. Minh sticks sticky notes with words of encouragement and encouragement for the recipient. “The epidemic has also affected my business a lot. However, for now, health is still first, money can be earned later.” Parts of bread and sticky rice were distributed free of charge by Mr. Bui Hoai Thanh’s group to people in the blockade area in Thu Duc City. Photo: Bui Hoai Thanh. Although he does not live in Sunview Town apartment building, Mr. Bui Hoai Thanh still regularly delivers food to people in the blockade area for the past 3 days. On the first day, Mr. Thanh’s group distributed 100 servings of sticky rice, on the second day 180 loaves of bread and on the third day 150 portions of spicy rice cakes. “I have a bakery near the apartment building and have been in business since 1992. Many of my regular customers are living in this apartment, so when I heard the news of the blockade, I immediately thought of helping people,” Mr. Thanh said. know. In the past few days, temporarily putting aside the business, every day Mr. Thanh and his group of friends prepare ingredients and make dishes from morning to 5 pm to deliver to the apartment. “We are planning to make 100 more jars of braised fish sauce to support people to bring home to eat with white rice. Everyone is affected by the epidemic season, but I believe that with the spirit of solidarity and the efforts of each individual, we will all win the pandemic together again,” Thanh shared.

The Grab side then denied the information, and sent an official notice to the driver partner about the normal deployment of services in areas permitted by local authorities. A fake news by the Vietnam Fake News Processing Center “whistle” The complicated development of the disease also makes a lot of information related to social isolation, blockade … have the opportunity to explode like mushrooms after rain. Recently, at 7:30 p.m. on May 4, a Facebook account named “Hanoi Pho” posted information: “Hanoi is open on the first day of the blockade” with an illustrative video. Through verification, the Inspector of the Department of Information and Communications of Hanoi confirmed that the content of the information posted above is untrue, violating the provisions of Article 5 of Decree No. 72/2013/ND-CP on management, provision and use of internet services and information on the network. This information has caused anxiety and insecurity for people, causing many people to prepare plans to hoard food, potentially causing market instability. Similarly, right after Ho Chi Minh City appeared more cases of Covid-19, on the evening of May 18, social networks also spread fake information about the “curfew” of the whole city from 10 pm. The Vietnam Center for Handling Fake News under the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information – Ministry of Information and Communications, was just launched earlier this year but has continuously published fake information on the official website – tingia.gov.vn. Among them, the amount of fake news about the epidemic and fake accounts accounts for the most. This center asks people not to share fake information about the Covid-19 epidemic. At the same time, warning acts of fabricating or spreading information known to be false can be punished by imprisonment from 3 months to 1 year. The Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC) on the afternoon of May 21 also issued a warning to the community to raise their vigilance against cases of fake medical staff scams for bad purposes, avoiding the occurrence of serious health problems. unfortunate case of people and property. The incident stemmed from people’s complaints to HCDC about a strange message calling for concentrated isolation with the content: “You are currently on the list of people to be isolated, the isolation code is: xxxx, please contact the phone number xxx…”. Many websites and Fanpages fake businesses to cheat Vietnam Fake News Processing Center 2 days ago also issued a warning about a fake website of the Vietnam Export-Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Eximbank). Accordingly, this fake website uses the name, image, logo design, color … of Eximbank with the domain name eximbank.xyz to confuse users. Currently, Eximbank has an official website under the domain name https://www.eximbank.com.vn . Not long ago, a website with the domain name www.vietnamairslines.com was also set up with the purpose of pretending to be the official website of Vietnam Airlines as vietnamairlines.com to scam. user.
