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. 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 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, in the face of increasingly complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic in the city, the Department of Informatization recommends agencies and units under the Ministry of Information and Communications to use technological solutions for medical declaration. Manage people entering and exiting the office. Specifically, in addition to officials, civil servants, public employees, and employees in the agency, all guests coming to contact work are required to install and turn on the application to install the Bluezone proximity detection application before go to work. This rule only excludes those who do not use smartphones. Bluezone application is the most effective tool to trace people suspected of being infected with Covid-19. Photo: Trong Dat At the entrance of offices and units under the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Department of Informatization recommends that you paste a QR Code to install the Bluezone application at a recognizable location to support users. Guests who come to work at agencies and headquarters of the Ministry of Information and Communications also need to make an electronic medical declaration. The declaration will be made on 1 of 3 applications Bluezone, NCOVI, Vietnam Health Declaration or on website tokhaiyte.vn. The paper medical declaration will only be applied to those who do not have a smartphone. In addition, agencies and units in the Ministry of Information and Communications have also been advised to manage people entering and leaving the office by scanning QR codes. To do this, units need to register for a “quarantine point” and get their QR code at website tokhaiyte.vn. This QR code will be printed and pasted at a recognizable location at the entrance of each agency or unit. Scanning QR codes is a measure to save users’ epidemiological milestones. Guests coming to contact business will be forced to scan a QR code for quarantine using one of the 3 applications Bluezone, NCOVI, Vietnam Health Declaration. In the event that after scanning the quarantine QR code, the application says that the user has not made a medical declaration or the declaration has expired, they will be forced to make a medical declaration and re-scan the code. At the entrance to the offices, the Department of Informatization also recommends arranging a department to check and monitor the scanning of quarantine QR codes of employees and visitors to contact for work. Using the Bluezone tracing app, electronic medical declarations and scanning QR codes for quarantine are just 3 of the 5 anti-epidemic solutions with technology proposed by the Ministry of Information and Communications to localities. Previously, sharing at the current news at 19:00 on May 26 of Vietnam Television, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung said that renewing the approach to technology in Covid-19 prevention and control is a combination balance between “defence” and “attack”. In terms of technology, “attack” is the mandatory use of some key applications to prevent Covid-19, instead of just recommending as before. If before, data was distributed by application, now data must be managed centrally. Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung. The Ministry of Information and Communications has proposed mandatory use of Bluezone application. Workers in industrial parks, factories and enterprises are required to make medical declarations. People using smartphones are required to use an application to identify close contact when going to a public place, where there are many people. Public places and offices must control people coming, going, leaving and entering by scanning QR codes. The fourth measure is to use technology to support the monitoring of people in medical isolation. According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung, turning on Bluetooth and using the Bluezone application when going to public places will help users protect themselves, protect the community, assist in zoning out the epidemic, and quickly trace. When that happens, it will also help isolate high-risk people, rather than everyone. For agencies and organizations, effective disease prevention will help agencies, organizations, factories and enterprises maintain normal production and business activities. Trong Dat

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.

The number of people downloading and using Bluezone has increased sharply recently, since the new wave of the Covid-19 epidemic broke out in Vietnam. According to information from the Department of Informatization, as of 5pm on May 11, the Bluezone application has surpassed 31.88 million downloads. The number of downloads of Bluezone applications has increased by 131,000 times compared to May 10 and 1.3 million times compared to April 28 – the beginning of the wave. Covid-19 The current. Many people have downloaded and used the Bluezone application when they heard about new developments about the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in Vietnam. The Department of Informatization also said that out of a total of nearly 32 million downloads of Bluezone application, the total number of phone number subscribers has surpassed 20 million. These are encouraging results for epidemic prevention and control in Vietnam, especially when Bluezone is currently one of the five recommended technology solutions to combat the spread of Covid-19. Currently, Da Nang, Hai Duong, Hanoi, Quang Ninh, and Ho Chi Minh City are the 5 leading localities in the country in terms of the percentage of Bluezone users in terms of the total population. Accordingly, there were 491,000 Bluezone users in Da Nang (accounting for 43.28%). This number in Hai Duong is 676,000 people (accounting for 39.65%) and in Hanoi is more than 3 million people (37.74%). The number of Bluezone users in the remaining provinces in the top 5 are Quang Ninh 470,600 people (accounting for 35.64%) and Ho Chi Minh City 2.8 million people (accounting for 31%). In the opposite direction, the provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nam Dinh, Dak Lak, Nghe An and Dien Bien are ranked at the bottom with a low percentage of Bluezone users, accounting for less than 14% of the total population. Bluezone is currently the most effective technology solution to prevent and combat Covid-19. Bluezone is an application that records contact history, thereby providing early warning and helping to accurately trace people suspected of being infected with Covid-19. The effectiveness of Bluezone has been proven when this application helps health authorities trace thousands of suspected cases of close contact with infected people or new suspected infected people. Notably, 17 positive cases were found thanks to Bluezone during the second outbreak in Hai Duong in January 2021. These are all cases found outside of the trace list by normal epidemiological investigation. The advantage of Bluezone is to help detect early cases of close contact with people infected with (suspected) Covid-19 but do not know or have no symptoms of the disease. Bluezone users will therefore be warned early in case they have ever been in contact with a potential carrier. The use of Bluezone in combination with epidemiological investigation methods will help minimize the number of people who have to be isolated. Instead of thousands of people having to go to quarantine for prevention as before, the number of quarantined people will now be reduced to a minimum. According to experts’ estimates, for Bluezone to be effective, the percentage of users of this application must reach at least 60% of the adult population. In Vietnam, 50 million people install and use Bluezone is enough to effectively protect the whole community. Currently, the number of Bluezone users in Vietnam is still low. Therefore, for the application to be effective, it is necessary to have the cooperation of the whole community through downloading and using Bluezone.

However, in order to develop e-Government towards digital government in the new phase, the provision of public services remains a top priority task. Therefore, the Ministry of Information and Communications recommends ministries continue to drastically and effectively implement solutions to achieve the goal of providing 100% of eligible public services to level 4 online in 2021. . For public services that do not qualify for online posting level 4, it is necessary to thoroughly apply technical solutions to maximize public service delivery activities on the network environment, from the submission process, receive and settle administrative procedures dossiers until the results are returned to the people and enterprises. The Ministry of Information and Communications also requested ministries and branches to assign the specialized agencies in charge of information technology of the ministries and branches to develop a plan to implement the level 4 public service delivery service, in which the following contents should be clearly shown: Target to provide 100% qualifying public services to level 4 online by 2021 month by month; A list of public services that are eligible to go online to level 4 in 2021 and a list of public services ineligible for level 4 online (with an explanation of the cause of ineligibility) should be sent to the Department. TT-TT before April 29, 2021. Every month, the ministries and branches send reports on the provision of electronic services to the Ministry of Information and Communications through the digital transformation evaluation system at: https://dti.gov.vn for synthesis. At the same time, the information collection and evaluation system and the information service (EMC System) built by the Ministry of Information and Communications when connected to the public service portal and the ministerial electronic one-door system will monitor the reality. implementation of the provision of public services by ministries and branches.

Build a new generation of social media “make in Vietnam” that is responsible for users At the meeting of State management in the first quarter of 2021 of the Ministry of Information and Communications, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized that from 2021 onwards, the Ministry of Information and Communications will announce “big problems” to the society. in order to call on agencies and businesses to join hands, contribute together to come up with solutions. On this occasion, the Minister of Information and Communications gave three problems for Vietnamese technology enterprises to come up with a “make in Vietnam” solution. Firstly, building a new generation social network (MXH): from a centralized data model to a distributed model, moving towards users who own their own data instead of all user data belonging to the network operator. Social networks are smaller, more customer oriented, and even charge fees; The platform addresses a social need and then becomes social media. MXH audio, voice communication; MXH ensures information security for users; Business social network for internal communication; publicity of the algorithm; MXH is social infrastructure, so it must be clean, responsible for users and to the society; MXH is the foundation, so it is necessary to share the value with users… These are the new features and features of the social network to replace the first generation. “This is an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to develop new generation social networks” – The Minister stated. Second, the need to build a new generation of search engine, aiming to ask a question that will have a reliable, usable answer instead of asking a question with millions of answers without knowing reliability. Besides, there is a phenomenon of people paying high advertising fees, the answer will appear first, so knowledge has been corrupted by money. Therefore, the new search engine must aim to communicate with the search engine through voice, which will be friendlier and closer to the user. Third, aiming to build personal museums in the digital environment and towards an immortal digital version that can interact with living people. The year 2021 is the first year the TT-TT industry implements the National Strategy of Digital Transformation (CDS) with the aim of leading the country. Accordingly, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung requires excellent strategy to lead, have breakthrough vision and solutions. In particular, the digital infrastructure strategy focuses on 5G and cloud, technology and infrastructure provided in the form of services, as a number of essential platforms, with a smartphone per person, per household. The family has a fiber-optic internet connection and HTS Vietnam must be in the top 30 in the world by 2025.

This is the first data center in Vietnam that meets Uptime Tier 3 standards in both design (TCCD) and construction and operation (TCCF).

Uptime Tier 3 is the 3rd on the Uptime Institute’s four-tiered data center scale.

To achieve this standard, a Data Center system must ensure uptime (uptime) of 99.982% or more and downtime (downtime) not more than 1.6 hours per year.

In addition, this system must be capable of redundancy to still be able to operate if the power is lost for up to 72 consecutive hours.

To meet the strict standards of Uptime Institute, ecoDC uses 100% of infrastructure equipment from two strategic partners, Delta and Arista.

Besides, this Data Center also uses an inrow cooling system. This is an energy saving technology for the first time deployed in Vietnam with the ability to control the cooling temperature to each server.

This system includes air conditioning running along the rack with hot air intake assist. Thanks to that, ecoDC can increase cooling efficiency and reduce power consumption.

Vietnam currently has a total of 5 Data Center systems meeting Uptime Tier 3 standards. However, these systems only meet Uptime Tier 3 standard in terms of design.

This data center costs the developer about 100 billion VND. Currently, the system has been completed with 6 PODs (box-type data centers) with a total of 150 racks (network cabinets). EcoDC will officially launch and start operating from April 2021.

Sharing at this event, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung said that the ecoDC data center meeting both Uptime Tier 3 standards in design and operation is a serious work result of HTC-ITC. This will also be a solid step in the process of transforming the number of countries.

According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung, in order to have a lasting and strong development, enterprises must associate their mission with the national one.

Vietnam is implementing digital transformation, moving all activities from real space to cyberspace, from real to digital environment.

In the National Digital Transformation program, the Ministry of Information and Communications determined that Vietnam must develop digital infrastructure, including broadband telecommunications infrastructure, cloud computing, electronic identification and authentication. Vietnam is also realizing the vision that each citizen has a smartphone, each household has an Internet fiber optic cable connection.

The most fundamental difference between telecom and digital infrastructure is data centers and cloud computing platforms that make IT a service accessible to everyone.

In that process, businesses need to receive the mission that is in sync with the country’s mission.

Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung suggested, as an enterprise providing basic infrastructure, HTC-ITC should soon work with functional units of the Ministry of Information and Communications to meet the technical requirements set forth for the ensure network operation and safety.

As a platform provider, HTC-ITC assumes the mission of being a “giant shoulder” for small and medium enterprises and for the Vietnamese digital transformation process.

To eliminate the “problem” that has eroded the press’s revenue as well as the reputation of the media for many years, not only the efforts of the content production units are needed, but also the drastic participation of the agency state management.

Lessons from the Australian war with Facebook
The incident stems from a bill called the Communications Negotiation Law, which was introduced by the Australian Government in 2020 when the state news agency could not reach a voluntary agreement with companies. technology in the face of difficulties caused by Covid-19. On February 18, Facebook removed the entire data feed of dozens of Australian media outlets and restricted the sharing of news content in the country.

Some Australian emergency services have been seriously affected after the move, including pages that report on the Covid-19 epidemic, wildfires or tornadoes … However, soon after, the Prime Minister Australia Scott Morrison took a tough national stance in his assertion: Facebook’s actions were arrogant and disappointing.
Faced with the uncompromising attitude of the Australian side, on February 20, Facebook was forced to return to the negotiating table. On February 23, after reaching an agreement, Facebook restored the operation of Australian news sites on the social network. Specifically, the Australian government has agreed to make some amendments to the law to address Facebook’s concerns with the fact that it has to pay news agencies. In addition, Facebook will conduct specific negotiations on the fees payable for news agencies with content appearing on its platform.
On February 25, the Australian Government officially passed the Law on Negotiation of Digital Platforms and Media, thereby becoming the first country in the world to have its own agency to decide the price of the guys. The tech giant pays if trade negotiations with local news outlets are unsuccessful. This new law will ensure that news companies are paid fair remuneration for the content they create, helping to maintain journalism.
Thus, it can be seen that, although the real tension only lasted for about a week, the impact was extremely great when the Australian Government helped the media in this country get paid properly for their labor. they spend, at the same time creating a stable source of income for many years to come.
What should the Vietnamese press do?
It can be said that the most important factors for the Australian press to win against Facebook are the solidarity between the press agencies in the country as well as the drastic and uncompromising action from the government. At the forum “Copyright protection of press works” held in November 2020, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Hoang Vinh Bao made a commitment to work closely with press agencies to eliminate the situation of piracy.

When encountering the phenomenon of copyright infringement, the press agencies need to set up a section to keep track of the violations, collate information, and submit written petitions to the competent agency to propose handling. At the same time, closely coordinate with state management agencies in the process of developing legal documents related to copyright issues and closely participate in the implementation process, comment on amendments to legal documents. copy.
On the other hand, press agencies also need to link together and link with network enterprises providing services to comply with the law on copyright issues on the basis of sharing interests, promoting advantages. strong. Not only that, it is also necessary to study, review and consult the experiences of other countries in the handling of copyright of press works, refer to how to trace and protect copyright to best protect the products. intellectual property of their own … – Deputy Minister Hoang Vinh Bao offers a solution.
Recognizing that the press copyright infringement originated mainly from the spread of news websites, right from the end of 2019, the Ministry of Information and Communications has launched a series of solutions to rectify as well as improve efficiency. State management results for this group. Specifically, the licensing of general websites has been suspended, and at the same time, strengthening the review with licensed news sites, if there is a situation of taking articles from newspapers and magazines without asking for permission. or acts like electronic newspapers are subject to administrative penalties to license revocation.
In addition, since November 15, 2019, news websites that synthesize news and articles from press agencies are required to have a written agreement, and at the same time must show the link. For access to the news, the original article is below the news, the article is retrieved.
At a lower level, one of the solutions given to limit piracy supported by many press agencies is to form a coalition of press – management agencies – technology enterprises to take advantage of its own strength thereby eliminating “spending time” which has been aching for many years. And the establishment of the Digital Copyright Center under the Vietnam Digital Media Association at the end of 2020 is one of the concrete strides when for the first time in Vietnam there is a unit applying technology to monitor micro-crime. piracy of the press.
The Digital Copyright Center will apply technology solutions to help press agencies to track their products in real time, thereby determining whether piracy is violated and the extent of infringement. percentage, thereby providing a solution to prevent. Currently the Center’s system has scanned over 600 newspapers, forums, blogs, 90 million Facebook profiles, 2 million pages and 3 million groups on social networks like Facebook and YouTube …
According to the director of the Center for Digital Copyright Hoang Dinh Chung, to thoroughly deal with copyright infringement, the press requires intervention by technology, not manually. Violators often use technology to commit violations, so only technology can stop them. With being able to scan the press works through content, images, audio or video … automatically, detecting violations is very easy and fast.
It is known that the Digital Copyright Center now has many partners who are major newspapers such as VOV TV channel, Tuoi Tien Phong and Children newspaper, Literature and Art Times, People’s Deputies Newspaper .. .
