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.

Yellow apple snail appears in high density and damages summer-autumn rice. Mr. Le Xuan Tu, Director of the Sub-Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection said that the yellow apple snail harms the newly sown rice stage, greatly affecting the growth and development of rice plants, if high density can make 100% loss of trees in the field. In order to minimize the damage caused by yellow apple snail, farmers need to apply a combination of manual measures and chemical measures to increase the effectiveness of killing snails. When the density of snails is high, snails are small, in order to thoroughly limit harmful yellow apple snails, people use drugs with active ingredients, such as Metaldehyde, Niclosamide to eradicate. Dosage according to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. People should note that when using the drug, it is necessary to maintain the water level from 3-5cm to prevent high efficiency; Spray in the early morning or late afternoon because this is the time when snails are most active. Pesticides to prevent snails are often toxic to aquatic animals, so they should only be used when the snail density is high, avoiding use in rice and fish fields. In addition, other objects are causing harm with an increasing trend, such as: rats harming 71.2 hectares, leaf rollers 60 hectares, acacia caterpillars 50.2 hectares, thrips 36 hectares…. The Sub-department recommends that farmers keep a close eye on the fields, closely monitor the situation of harmful effects, proactively implement timely and effective prevention measures.

The first type is the Bluezone smart bracelet, manufactured by a Vietnamese enterprise. Expected price is 6 USD / unit (about 138,000 VND).

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.

Immediately after completion, the school cooperated with Hai Duong Provincial Department of Health to install the above 3 systems at 3 provincial quarantine checkpoints (post A) including: In Hoang Tien ward (on Highway 18, adjacent to Dong Trieu town, Quang Ninh); at the beginning of Pha Lai bridge (on National Highway 18, adjacent to Que Vo district, Bac Ninh); and stop at the intersection of Hanoi – Hai Phong highway (the section through Gia Loc toll station). The total cost after completing the installation of the automatic disinfection system is nearly 200 million VND. The device is simple to install, works effectively with traffic through As noted by the reporter, the automatic disinfection sprayer system is designed with 2 devices located on both sides of the lane. On the two devices with sensors attached, the sprayer is suitable for the height of the cars. Each unit has a high-pressure pump motor used to pump disinfectant solution from the fuel tank to the injectors. When a motor vehicle passes by, sensors will recognize the vehicle height to control the pump and pressure valve. Along with that, the nozzles will spray a mist-like solution suitable for the height of the vehicle, including the tank truck; container truck… A representative of the Red Star University research team said that the advantage is that the automatic disinfection sprayer system can operate 24/24 hours, even in sunny or rainy weather conditions. The solution is evenly distributed over the surface of the motor vehicle to save manpower, the solution is faster and more efficient than the manual method as before. Moreover, when passing by, cars do not have to stop but still roll slowly at a speed of 5 km/h, without causing traffic jams. The device not only ensures disinfection spray to prevent epidemics but also ensures traffic and does not cause congestion The nozzles will spray a mist solution suitable for the height of the vehicles Before that, at the beginning of 2021, lecturers of the Faculty of Food and Chemistry of Red Star University researched and continued to produce over 6,000 liters of dry hand sanitizer (Nano silver) to promptly supply to staff, lecturers and suppliers. granted free of charge to agencies and units in the area of ​​Chi Linh city; The faculty of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering successfully manufactured a full-body disinfection chamber with a small, compact design that is convenient to move, operating under an automatic mechanism; research and manufacture 10 automatic hand sanitizer machines equipped in working houses, dormitories, lecture halls and experimental practice centers. In particular, before the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic in Chi Linh City and Hai Duong province, to prevent and reduce the risk of infection, to ensure the health of the medical team. With the spirit of initiative, creativity, and speed after 32 hours of work, the school’s staff and lecturers successfully built a robot to transport necessities, donated it to field hospitals, and isolated areas. concentrated in Hai Duong province, contributing to reducing the workload for medical staff and service people.

VOV.VN reporter interviewed Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh – Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee about the openness, transparency and efficiency in coordinating and using the Fund of the Vietnam Fatherland Front. The COVID-19 prevention and control fund is called, managed and coordinated by the Vietnam Fatherland Front to donate resources to buy vaccines, carry out COVID-19 prevention and control work, and support units and localities. region severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 vaccine fund was established by the Government and managed by the Ministry of Finance, with the goal of receiving, managing and using funding sources to purchase, import, research, and produce together with state budget resources. domestic vaccine production to vaccinate people. Children bring piggy bank to support epidemic prevention and control fund Reporter: In recent years, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has received many donations for the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Fund. So which reception left the biggest impression on you? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: In a very short time, many individuals and groups have supported the COVID-19 Fund through the Vietnam Fatherland Front. Every heart is precious. Among them are two small children who personally impressed me. Two children brought piggy banks to the Central Committee (Central Committee) of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to support the Fund for COVID-19 Prevention and Control. Both children are still in elementary school. One child attends in Quoc Oai district, the other in Dong Da district. “This is the money that I save from the bonus after each school year and the money that the aunts and uncles give for the Tet holiday.” – said a small child as he handed the piggy bank to us. Grandson Nguyen Ngoc Minh beats a piggy bank to save for 4 years and donate it to the COVID-19 Prevention Fund I saw with my own eyes the children beating pigs. The small coins are curled up neatly in the piggy bank, showing the children’s accumulation and respect. For young children, piggy bank is not only a savings but also a treasure. But when needed, the children are ready to bring their treasures to donate. The image of the children counting every penny in the piggy bank to bring to support made many adults like us surprised and moved. “I want to ask you to transfer this money to the epidemic area. First of all, to help children of the same age as us, who are affected by the epidemic, and those who have to be separated from their parents to go into isolation.” Sometimes the actions of small children have to make adults like us think. I hope that the story of these two piggy banks will spread the beautiful image of “small people doing small things”, about the spirit of caring and supporting each other of the Vietnamese people. Inspiring responsibility for the country’s destiny in every citizen Reporter: With its position and role as a center of solidarity, gathering all social forces, over the years, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has effectively launched many donation and support programs. What is the meaning of this campaign for the Fund for COVID-19 Prevention and Control and how is it different from other campaigns, madam? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: Through two campaigns and donations to support the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic (Phase 1: 1-17/3/2020; Phase 2: From May 27, 2021), the Vietnam Fatherland Front clearly saw the essence of the COVID-19 pandemic. spirit and responsibility to the country of each Vietnamese people. When the country is in trouble, that spirit will rise strongly. In 2020, when the Prime Minister called on the whole country to fight the epidemic like fighting the enemy, the whole people became a great solidarity, persistently fighting at both the front and rear. The Vietnam Fatherland Front has received a great deal of resources from the people to work with the State budget in anti-epidemic work. Perhaps that strength is one of many factors that make Vietnam the second best anti-epidemic country in the world. President Nguyen Xuan Phuc launched a peak donation campaign to support COVID-19 prevention and control on May 27, 2021. In 2021, when the COVID-19 epidemic is complicated with many new strains, the country will again fall into a difficult time. The dizzying and unpredictable spread of the new virus strain poses new requirements and measures. That’s 5K+ vaccines. Accordingly, the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee have advocated vaccination for the entire population. In addition to the State budget, the Government has also called for contributions from the people. In the spirit of responding to the Party’s guidelines and the Government’s solutions, the Vietnam Fatherland Front organized the second campaign. After the call of President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Do Van Chien, up to now, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has received nearly 3,500 billion VND for the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control fund from the people. In such a context, every dollar donated to the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Fund is very meaningful. All for a safe Vietnam Reporter: Despite many difficulties and even heavy damage caused by the epidemic, in a short time, many businesses, collectives, individuals, agencies and units have donated trillions of dong through the Vietnam Fatherland Front. to contribute to the fight against COVID-19. How do you feel about this? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: I myself have heard a lot of businesses confiding: “We have been closed for many months now, the workers have no jobs…but still have to work hard to pay wages to keep them, waiting for the day production resumes”. During more than a long year because of the epidemic, the difficulties that businesses and employees face are increasingly piling up. For businesses operating in service areas such as tourism, hotels, etc., the damage is even heavier. But when the Vietnam Fatherland Front sent out a call to them, they had to deduct part of the money to support. All for a safe country, for a disease-free country. On behalf of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh received VND 500 million from Power Generation Company 1. This is both an act of showing the social responsibility of businesses to the country, as well as a responsibility to “save themselves” in the condition that the country is affected by the epidemic. Because only when the epidemic is extinguished, can businesses reproduce and re-operate, businesses and the economy can recover. But above all, I see “compatriotism”, the spirit of the good leaves to protect the torn leaves of our nation. During their own most difficult times, they still find ways to help those in need, are still willing to join hands and stand side by side with the country. Donations are prioritized to be used according to the wishes of the contributors Reporter: Publicity, transparency, accuracy, timeliness, efficiency in the coordination and use of the Fund are what the sponsors as well as each collective and individual are very interested in. Could you please tell me, how does the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front have been directed and monitored so that this resource can be used for the right purposes, for the right subjects and with high efficiency? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: In Article 2 of Decree 64/2008/ND-CP on mobilizing, receiving, distributing and using voluntary contributions, it is stipulated that the responsibility of the Vietnam Fatherland Front is to allocate funds to mobilize a In a reasonable manner and for the right purposes based on the requests of businesses, donors, etc. Thus, we will prioritize the allocation of the COVID-19 prevention and control fund at the request of businesses and organizations. and individual contributors. Accordingly, out of nearly 650 billion VND in donations from collectives, individuals, units and businesses sent to the Vietnam Fatherland Front, we will transfer 550 billion VND to the Vaccine Fund managed by the Ministry of Finance. The Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee received more than 130 million donations from the Association of Vietnamese compatriots in Macao (China). The extent of damage, epidemic situation, socio-economic conditions of localities and units are the second coordination criteria. Based on these factors, we will allocate resources to the right localities and objects of need. Currently, Bac Ninh and Bac Giang are the two provinces most heavily affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, we have allocated resources to two localities to serve epidemic prevention and control; as well as providing financial support, taking care of poor households, losing jobs and losing income due to the COVID-19 epidemic to ensure a minimum standard of living for people. Responding to the guiding spirit of the Party and Government, purchasing a vaccine is the biggest priority in coordinating and using the Vietnam Fatherland Front’s COVID-19 Prevention Fund. In addition, following the call of the President, the Vietnam Fatherland Front is very interested in encouraging and training the frontline forces in the prevention and control of the epidemic. In this fight against the epidemic, the armed forces or doctors are people with very special circumstances. There are many people who volunteered in the epidemic center, did not come home for months, worked until exhausted… Therefore, the community must be responsible for spiritual encouragement and material support so that they can do well the tasks that the country has. entrust. Only then will we be able to extinguish the epidemic, and the country will regain peace. To ensure transparency in the use of funds, the Vietnam Fatherland Front transparently discloses all receipts and allocations from the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Fund in the media. Immediately after allocating funds to the receiving units, we also require the responsible units and localities to give two-way feedback, fully report the expenditures, list and address of beneficiaries, …with the Vietnam Fatherland Front. On that basis, the Fatherland Front conducts regular monitoring, ensuring that the funds are used for the right subjects and for the right purposes. Reporter: Thank you ma’am.

Although spinach does not have significant amounts of zinc, it does provide the body with iron – another essential mineral. This is an interesting thing to note because when spinach is served with strawberries – one of the fruits with the most vitamin C – this combination allows the iron to be absorbed more quickly.

Development when installing and connecting surveillance cameras in isolated areas The Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) has just announced that it has completed the installation of more than 2,400 surveillance cameras in 150 concentrated isolation facilities in 32 provinces/cities from Da Nang onward. The main features of the camera system are live monitoring (live view), playback (play back), user authorization (user groups), user data protection, access logging, and tracking. regulations to meet the requirements of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 prevention and control. Advanced features will continue to be updated according to actual requests from the Steering Committee and the Ministry of Information and Communications. The system is designed according to edge computing model, helping to connect, process and store with low latency and unlimitedly expand processing capacity when needed. In particular, ensuring the security and safety of images and data is a top priority, when the entire system is protected at data centers that meet international standards. The decentralization and decentralization of system access are strictly followed and comply with the requirements of the National Steering Committee, the Steering Committees in the provinces/cities and the Management Division in the isolation area for image monitoring. 24/7 by hierarchy. In order to support the system to operate stably 24/7, VNPT has arranged a team of monitoring, operation and support in each locality, according to strict service standards. In addition, to meet the new requirements of the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, VNPT Group is investing in an infrastructure system to meet the connection of 10,000 surveillance cameras in isolation areas… Previously, in order to strictly comply with regulations on concentrated isolation and management after the end of centralized isolation, the Ministry of Information and Communications asked the People’s Committees of provinces and cities to review the facilities. substances in concentrated isolation areas, ensuring close monitoring of quarantined people; The concentrated isolation areas must have enough cameras to monitor the quarantined people to take measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic as prescribed. In addition, the Ministry of Information and Communications has directed Viettel Group and VNPT Group to build a monitoring system and coordinate with the Departments of Information and Communications of provinces and cities to conduct surveys and connect surveillance cameras. in the isolation area to the centralized monitoring system designated by the Ministry of Information and Communications. Up to now, Viettel Group has also completed the installation and integrated connection of 3,000 surveillance cameras in isolated areas in the northern provinces. Particularly for 130 isolation facilities in 125 communes of Bac Giang province, Viettel has mobilized resources to install 1,000 more cameras. All image data from the camera is integrated into a centralized management system at the Control Center. The system applies cloud computing technology, allowing the National Steering Committee, Steering Committees in provinces and management departments in isolated areas to monitor images 24/7 according to decentralization.

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.

The warning system is sent to the transport business unit via software on smartphones and computers if there are passengers who do not wear masks or wear masks incorrectly. (Screenshots) The installation of surveillance cameras on transport business vehicles according to regulations from July 1 will promptly detect passengers who do not wear masks to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic. Binh Anh Electronic Technology Development Company Limited will provide and install the “no mask warning” feature for free for vehicles with surveillance cameras on passenger trucks from this June. . This technology will help transport businesses remotely remind if they detect and warn passengers/employees of the garage who are not wearing masks or are wearing masks incorrectly, and at the same time, people feel more secure when traveling by passenger car, raising awareness of compliance with 5K, minimizing the spread of disease in a crowded, closed, easy-to-infection environment on the vehicle and difficult to trace when detecting a COVID-19 case. Specifically, the analysis system is connected to the camera on the vehicle to get image data, then artificial intelligence (AI) technology will automatically analyze and send a notification to the transport unit every time it is detected. someone is not wearing a mask or is wearing it incorrectly. The system also ticks green boxes for faces wearing masks and red boxes for faces not wearing masks. According to Mr. Dao Thanh Anh, Chairman of Binh Anh Company, the environment of passenger cars, buses, trucks carrying workers and students … is closed, air-conditioner is on, anaerobic, so it is easy to infect and difficult to trace when encountering cases COVID-19. “For the transportation industry, artificial intelligence technology not only brings many benefits to vehicle owners, but also improves safety for all passengers. Currently, the number of camera images of businesses is increasing, the identification of people who are not wearing masks and counting the number of passengers can be over 95% accurate. Therefore, the warning feature does not wear the mask on the car will contribute to the society to fight back the pandemic,” Mr. Dao Thanh Anh expressed his expectation. In the coming time, this company will continue to apply artificial intelligence technology to help transport businesses optimize management and receive early warnings to improve safety for riders. In addition, a number of other features will also soon come into operation such as: Counting people in the car, alerting the driver to use the phone, not wearing a seat belt, opening the door when driving, warning someone is forgotten. In the car, connect the thermal camera to automatically detect when the body temperature is abnormal. Previously, the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam has issued a document to correct the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic on passenger cars because it is reported that there are still many passengers, drivers and service staff on business vehicles. Transport businesses do not comply with epidemic prevention and control measures, especially not wearing masks in accordance with regulations. Notably, transport business units are required to urgently install surveillance cameras in accordance with the route of the Decree 10 2020 on business and transport business conditions, and review the requirements of transport business units that have installed cameras to provide accounts to access the server in accordance with Decree 10 for inspection purposes. , monitoring. The Departments of Transport of the provinces and cities shall direct their inspectors to coordinate with functional forces in their localities to inspect, urge, remind and strictly handle cases of violations of regulations on prevention and control. COVID-19 epidemic .

This is the result of research from 2020, by a team of University of Sciences, Thai Nguyen University that has successfully carried out the project: “Research and development of a rapid detection kit for SARS-CoV- 2 viruses by Realtime technique”. The product of the project is 20 biological kits that have been used in screening for SARS-CoV2 virus detection at hospitals and Centers for Disease Control of Thai Nguyen province. Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Quang, President of Thai Nguyen University, said that during the 4th outbreak of the epidemic, the University directed to support 100 million VND for over 400 volunteers who are officers, students, and students. volunteered to the University of Medicine and Pharmacy to participate in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in Bac Giang and Bac Ninh provinces. This force has been carrying out tasks such as taking samples, testing, tracing, taking care of patients and other jobs at epidemic hotspots of the two localities. Currently, there are nearly 300 volunteers who are officials, students, and final year students of the school who have registered and are ready to go. In the past 3 epidemics and the current epidemic, member universities of Thai Nguyen University such as the University of Industrial Technology, the University of Information and Communication Technology, the branch of Thai Nguyen University in the province Lao Cai, University of Science, University of Education… also donated automatic body temperature measuring devices, automatic hand sanitizer dispensers, thousands of bottles of antiseptic solution to many agencies and applications. schools, schools in Thai Nguyen province and neighboring provinces to serve the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic. The Board of Directors of Thai Nguyen University has also directed member units to prepare facilities and coordinate with Thai Nguyen Province’s Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control in using the Education Center. National Defense and Security, the dormitories of universities, colleges, centers of Thai Nguyen University as a concentrated isolation area for COVID-19 prevention and control. Currently, Thai Nguyen province has issued a decision to establish a concentrated isolation area for COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control at the University of Technology and Industry, University of Agriculture and Forestry and a decision to establish a command center for the isolation area. COVID-19 prevention and control at the National Defense and Security Education Center.

Governments, medical experts and researchers are working to find the most effective strategies to deploy Covid-19 vaccination to quickly create herd immunity as the pandemic continues to sweep the world. limited supply of vaccines. According to the journal Nature, the world needs about 11 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine to immunize 70% of the world’s population, in case each person must receive two doses. However, the latest statistics of Bloomberg news show that, as of June 2, a total of more than 1.94 billion doses have been injected across 176 countries, equivalent to nearly 12.7% of the global population. required to be fully immunized. The situation of Covid-19 vaccination worldwide in terms of vaccination rate for the whole population (%). Graphics: Bloomberg In addition, there is inequality in vaccine distribution, with rich countries, which account for only 19% of the world’s population, capturing more than 50% of the full year’s supply while low- and middle-income countries, accounting for more than 50% of the total supply. More than 80% of the world’s population has access to less than a third of the vaccines shipped, exacerbating the problem. A conundrum now is how humanity can overcome the pandemic at the earliest when it is estimated that the total number of vaccines produced and distributed in the world in 2021 is only about 6 billion doses. more than 55% of the forecast demand mentioned above? Countries that have received the highest number of doses of Covid-19 vaccine in the world as of June 2. Source: Bloomberg Classification of priority groups for vaccination In order to optimize the mass vaccination campaign against SARS-CoV-2 virus in the current difficult conditions, most governments have decided to prioritize pre-vaccination for groups at high risk of infection with the virus. such as frontline medical staff, forces directly in charge of fighting the epidemic, people over 65 years old, people with chronic diseases or workers in the group providing essential services. In addition to the above approach, governments and scientists are also trying other solutions to achieve the most effective vaccination strategy possible while waiting for vaccine manufacturers to increase production and abundant supplies. more abundant. Experimental mixing of vaccines Some countries have recently considered mixing different vaccines to address shortages and delays in supply. The idea is not new, as scientists have been experimenting with this approach for decades against Ebola and HIV viruses. In the UK, scientists have decided to expand the study in the use of combinations of Covid-19 vaccines to assess whether mixing them is safe and helps prolong immunity in vaccinated people. strains or not. In February 2021, Oxford University began promoting a study called Com-Cov, whereby volunteers will be vaccinated with the first and second doses of two vaccines AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech. Preliminary research results, published in the Lancet medical journal in mid-May, revealed that mixing the two vaccines would increase the side effects of the vaccine, such as fatigue and headaches over time. short and in light form. Photo: Healthmag “It’s a finding that we didn’t anticipate. We still don’t know if this approach is associated with an improved immune response. We’ll find that out in a few weeks.” “, Professor Matthew Snape, who led the study, said on May 14. Snape and his colleagues also recently added Moderna and Novavax vaccines to the trial program. The authors hope that, if their study can demonstrate that the mixed vaccination produces an immune response as well as the standard vaccination and does not significantly increase the response to the vaccine, there will be more people complete their immunization plans sooner. This will also assist the health system in responding in the event of a shortage of any currently used vaccines. Similarly, the Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST) on May 24 also announced that it would start a study on mixing China’s Sinovac vaccine with other vaccines available in the country such as AstraZeneca, Pfizer/ BioNTech and Sputnik from June this year to November 2022. DOST Secretary Fortunato Dela Pena explained that Sinovac was the main target of the study because it is the most stable supply in the Philippines, accounting for 5.5 million doses out of the approximately 8.3 million doses the country has received for until now. Manila is aiming to have vaccinated more than half of its 110 million population by this year. However, according to Nikkei Asia, the nationwide vaccination campaign is facing many challenges when people focus on injecting only “branded” vaccines such as Pfizer, forcing many local governments to keep the name of the vaccine secret. Please be used in vaccinations. More spacing between injections In accordance with the regimen and recommendations of the vaccine manufacturers against Covid-19, after giving the first dose to the patient, after 3-4 weeks, medical facilities will inject the second dose (21 days apart for patients). with Pfizer vaccine and 28 days with AstraZeneca vaccine). However, the British government has decided to extend the interval between the two shots to 12 weeks to have enough vaccine to vaccinate more people. This decision caused a lot of controversy. However, British medical advisers explain, because most vaccines are proven to be more than 50% effective after the first shot, doing so will help increase immunity for more people against dangerous pathogens and help speed up the national immunization campaign. The number of new infections and deaths from Covid-19 is falling sharply in the UK. Graphics: Reuters There are no formal studies on the effectiveness of the initiative yet. However, there is an undeniable fact that the foggy country is sharply reducing the number of cases and deaths from Covid-19, allowing the country to start easing restrictive measures against the epidemic from 12/02. 4 and aims to get the country out of lockdown this summer. Vaccination for people 12 years of age and older The European Commission has approved the use of Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine for children 12 years of age and older, European Union (EU) Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides announced on May 31. , giving the bloc’s member countries the option to expand their vaccination programmes. On the same day, the Japanese Government also announced a similar decision. The move took place not long after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 10 approved the use of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for children aged 12-15. Previously, the product was only approved by the FDA. emergency use permission for persons 16 years of age and older. President Joe Biden called the FDA’s new step a promising development in the fight against the epidemic. Before the US, Canada on May 5 became the first country in the world to agree to expand the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine recipients to children 12 years of age and older, citing more benefits. risk. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that developed countries suspend the implementation of immunization for adolescents in order to share the surplus vaccine resources with poorer countries that have a shortage of vaccination supplies for children. older, high-risk groups. “The pandemic has proven that no one is safe until everyone is safe. Equal access to a Covid-19 vaccine is within our grasp. The sooner we do it, the better. The faster our lives and our children’s lives return to normal,” emphasized Ms. Henrietta Fore, Executive Director of UNICEF.

(Source: Getty Images) National Advisory Committee on Immunity of Canada (NACI) on June 1 announced updated guidelines allowing the combination of preventive vaccines COVID-19 licensed in the country in most cases. Under the new guidelines, people who have received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine can receive a second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, unless they are pregnant. So far, Canada has allowed the use of 4 types vaccine against COVID-19 of pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. The new guidelines also say that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines can be used in combination for both the first and second shots. However, the NACI does not recommend a second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine following the first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for safety reasons and limited data on the use of this combination. Speaking at a press conference on June 1, Canada’s public health official Theresa Tam said, “NACI is working to quickly adopt new guidelines for vaccine use in the country to ensure optimal protection of people in the context of the changing epidemic situation.” Tam also added that although according to the new NACI recommendation that vaccines can be safely used in combination, people should use the same vaccine for two injections if possible, especially Pfizer’s vaccine. or Moderna. According to Ms. Tam, the use of vaccine combinations is not a new concept and has long been applied by public health to many vaccines. The updated NACI guidelines are based on current studies from Spain and the UK that show the combination of AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines to be safe and effective against COVID-19. As of the afternoon of June 1, 2021, 21,942,111 Canadians, equivalent to 57.75% of the country’s population, received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and 2,144,126 people, equivalent to 5.64%, second injection. The disease situation in the North American country is also continuing to decline with the number of new cases per day in the last 7 days being below 2,700 cases, the average death per day decreased to 39 cases. As of the afternoon of June 1, Canada recorded 1,248 new cases, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in the country to 1,382,822, of which 25,565 people have died. On the same day, according to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Buenos Aires, an adviser to Argentine President Alberto Fernandez, Cecilia Nicolini, said that she is considering the possibility of cooperating with Cuba to produce a vaccine against COVID-19 researched and manufactured by Cuba in order to prevent COVID-19 infection. distributed to the Latin American market. In an interview with Sputnik news agency, Ms. Nicolini announced that during the recent visit to Cuba by the Minister of Health Carla Vizzotti, the Argentine side was introduced to the progress in the process of research and development of vaccines. COVID-19 of Cuba, and affirmed Argentina’s desire to cooperate in the production of this drug so that it can meet the actual demand as soon as possible, not only in Cuba and Argentina but also in other countries in the world. area. Currently, Cuba has 5 candidates for COVID-19 vaccine, namely Soberana 01, Soberana 02, Soberana Plus, Mambisa and Abdala with very positive prospects, in which candidates Soberana 02 and Abdala have successfully finished the phase. clinical trials 1 and 2 with high rates of safety and efficacy. According to Nicolini, in the coming days, the Cuban side will present data analysis of the third phase of testing of these two vaccines and the two sides will conduct negotiations on the possibility of mass production. Currently La Soberana 02 and Abdala are the only two COVID-19 vaccines researched by a Latin American country that have entered the final phase of clinical trials.

The number of deaths also tended to decrease, to 3,460 cases and the third day in a row below 4,000 cases.

The vaccination campaign is being accelerated by India, although vaccine supply remains a big challenge. As of May 30, India has injected more than 212 million doses of the vaccine, ranking third in the world after China and the US. About 12% of the population was vaccinated with at least one dose, of which 3.1% were fully vaccinated. Prime Minister Narenda Modi’s government said on May 30 that about 120 million doses of the vaccine will be included in the vaccination program in June, a significant increase from 79.8 million doses in May. , government advisers also said that India could reach a supply of 2 billion doses of vaccine between August and December this year, mainly from two domestic manufacturers, the Serum Institute of India (Serum Institute of India). SII) – responsible for producing vaccine samples of AstraZeneca and Bharat Biotech Company, the focal point of domestic production of Covaxin vaccine. In June, the government will provide 60.9 million doses of vaccine to the states to vaccinate health workers along with some other forces on the frontline against the epidemic, people over 45 years old. About 58.6 million doses will be ordered and distributed by state governments and private hospitals. Malaysia on May 30 recorded 6,999 new cases of COVID-19 and was the 5th consecutive day of outbreaks of infection. The government of this country plans to set up more large-scale vaccination centers, mobilize private medical staff to participate in vaccination campaigns in the context of Malaysia preparing to implement a nationwide shutdown. for a period of two weeks, from June 1-14. Medical staff take samples for COVID-19 testing for people in Selangor, Malaysia on May 23, 2021. Photo: THX/VNA Speaking at an online press conference on May 30, Malaysian Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Khairy Jamaluddin said the government will establish five new large-scale vaccination centers in Kuala Lumpur and have Two more similar centers could be established in the northern state of Penang and the southern state of Johor. Each of such centers has the capacity to administer 40,000 doses of vaccination per day. The Government will also conduct training and training for doctors and nurses to perform vaccinations, stemming from the fact that some vaccines need different handling and storage methods and are different from conventional vaccines. Mr. Jamaluddin also said that the supply of vaccines will increase in the near future, so the government will mobilize manpower from hospitals and private medical centers to voluntarily participate in the vaccination campaign. According to Jamaluddin, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s government is also expected to set up mobile vaccination centers at roads to vaccinate people. Currently, about 6% of Malaysia’s 32 million people have received at least one vaccination. In the Philippines, the head of the Philippine Government’s COVID-19 Task Force, Mr. Czar Carlito Galvez Jr, said on May 30 that more than 5 million doses of the vaccine have been administered to people, after nearly 3 months of implementation. vaccination campaign. People wear masks to prevent COVID-19 infection in Manila, Philippines. Photo: THX/VNA Most of these were administered to priority groups, including 1.4 million doses for healthcare workers, 1.368 million doses for the elderly and 1,150 million doses for people with underlying medical conditions. Vaccines introduced in the Philippines include Sinovac, AstraZeneca, Sputnik V and Pfizer. Galvez also said that in June, the Philippines is expected to receive an additional 10 million doses of vaccine, including the amount of vaccine through the Covax Initiative program, 2.3 million doses of Pfizer vaccine, 2 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine and 1 million doses of vaccine. Sinovac vaccine. The first batch of 250,000 doses of Moderna is also expected to arrive on June 21. The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte has set a target of vaccinating about 70 million people or more than 50% of the population this year. However, this plan is facing major challenges. In addition to the limited supply of vaccines, the lack of confidence in Chinese vaccines is also a big barrier. It was Mr. Duterte who recently had to speak to reassure, urging people to avoid the mentality of choosing a vaccine, but to see that having a vaccine to inject is already a good thing.

Thus, the products of the companies are sold to the market in a variety of channels so that they can reach the people who need to use the products. “Through the survey, we see that the potential for production/business to supply the Quang Ninh market with three size purple products is very large when currently no company/business unit has any products. about three Quang Ninh purple sizes while they have all the conditions for production / business to promote products about Quang Ninh purple products to supply the market in quantity “- Pharmacist Phan Ke Son shared.

“ The solutions contained in the bottles of Hazoku brand hand sanitizer located in the T1 passenger terminal area are Disinfectant (Hipochloro Acid bactericidal solution) “, a representative of Noi Bai International Airport said. This representative also said that this antiseptic solution, produced from Japanese OSG machines, was sponsored by BPS Vietnam Trading & Service Co., Ltd free of charge for the Port to use in the prevention of the COVID-19 epidemic. The hand sanitizer at Noi Bai airport was reported by customers as plain water. (Internet photo). This is a colorless, odorless, safe, environmentally friendly hand sanitizer solution and has been tested by: National Institute of Infectious Diseases of Japan; Pasteur Institute City. Ho Chi Minh City – Ministry of Health and Quatest 3 Center – General Department of Metrology of Vietnam. Hipochloro acid solution is very effective in inactivating viruses, has outstanding antibacterial effect and ensures that it meets the standards of disinfection against COVID-19. Because the Hipochloro Acid disinfectant solution that the Port is sponsored is packaged in 20L cans, for the convenience of passengers at many locations of the terminal, the Port has temporarily used small plastic bottles. Hazoku brand – which is a system of Hazoku dry hand sanitizer bottles that have been used up by the Port for the purpose of reuse. Noi Bai Aviation Security Force is fully equipped with gloves, masks, and splash shields. In addition, the Port is implementing the installation of automatic touch-sensitive hand sanitizer points to minimize the contact of passengers. However, the reuse of plastic bottles for the purpose of limiting plastic waste emissions into the environment of the Port has led to the misunderstanding of the aforementioned guest about the quality of the disinfectant solution. Previously, the social network was buzzing about the video clip of TTT passengers reflecting at 5:15 am on May 27, while going to the airport to check in for flight QH 1213 of Bamboo Airways, when using antiseptic water located at the airport.

A series of countries that were once the hottest epidemic centers in the world have now reopened thanks to an effective mass vaccination strategy, lighting up the hope of soon stabilizing people’s lives and recovering the economy. “Now everyone is experiencing the real New York and it suddenly dawned on me, we’re almost over the real pandemic,” Michelle Khoury said with joy evident on her face. That mood is not only of Michelle, but of many people in New York (USA) when the state fully reopens on May 19, restoring all activities. Those who have been vaccinated are no longer required to wear masks or practice social distancing when going out. They only have to wear masks at nursing homes, hospitals or on public transport. 2/ Our World in Data’s chart of the number of people vaccinated against Covid-19 in New York as of May 19. Light blue represents the number of people who injected at least 1 dose, dark green represents full dose. In a statement announcing the important decision, Governor Andrew Cuomo said that from now on, all shops, restaurants, entertainment centers, theaters and museums will no longer have to limit the number of visitors to a low level. , and New York’s subway system, which is the largest in the United States, is also officially open 24/24 as before the pandemic. The government plans to soon organize famous traditional events such as professional volleyball tournaments, marathons and performances at the Radio City Music Hall variety stage as soon as this year. According to official data, the number of new infections and deaths in New York is now hitting its lowest level since the pandemic broke out more than a year ago. After the first case of death from the new strain of corona virus was recorded on March 14, 2020, the state lost more than 30,000 people within just one year. ABC News points out that this number is 10 times more than the number of Americans who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. America is slowly returning to normal New York is one of many typical states of the United States, including New Jersey and Connecticut, that have reversed the pandemic to return to normal life. After more than a year of struggling against the terrible infection of the virus with more than 33.8 million positive cases and nearly 602,000 deaths, the US is gradually reviving thanks to the world’s fastest vaccination campaign. CDC data shows that, by the end of May 18, New York reached about 52% of the population receiving at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine and 43% receiving a full dose. In New Jersey, the numbers were 56.9% and 45.2%, respectively, while in Connecticut it reached 59.9% and 49.3%. Our World in Data’s chart of the number of people vaccinated against Covid-19 in the US as of May 18. Light blue represents the number of people who injected at least 1 dose, dark green represents full dose. Many other places in the US are also gradually returning to normal. Las Vegas casinos are reopening at 100% capacity with no social distancing requirements. Disneyland in California also reopened late last month after shutting down for 400 days. Massachusetts also announced that all restrictions related to Covid-19 will end by the weekend of Memorial Day (May 31). The momentum to escape the Covid-19 pandemic in the US is not outside the judgment of experts and forecasts of global financial institutions. White House senior adviser on Covid-19 Andy Slavitt pointed out that, for the first time in the pandemic, the number of infections last week decreased in all 50 US states. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, on May 18, said the average number of infections and deaths from Covid-19 in the last 7 days in the US has dropped to the lowest since the pandemic began. About 60% of Americans 18 years of age and older have had at least one dose of the vaccine, and this is a good sign that the US will easily reach the goal set by President Joe Biden, of 70% of the population getting less vaccination at least one dose of vaccine by July 4. However, she cautioned that recent numbers suggest “we should be cautiously optimistic”. Europe opens at the same time From the beginning of this week, European countries simultaneously eased restrictive measures, allowing most economic sectors to return to normal activities. The EU is speeding up Covid-19 vaccination campaigns for its people. Photo: Reuters Once one of the hottest epidemic centers in Europe in particular and globally in general, the UK officially reopened from May 17, after a long time of implementing strict blockade measures. People can move freely, hug each other or drink beer in public, have dinner at restaurants or watch movies in theaters. Students are no longer required to wear masks at school. On the same day, the first flights to Portugal and the countries that allow visitors from the UK to enter took off. He also got this spectacular step thanks to a successful vaccination campaign. The country’s daily number of new infections and deaths are both low as more than 20 million British adults have been vaccinated with both vaccines, accounting for over 30% of the country’s population. In addition, more than 36 million other people have also received the first dose of the vaccine, accounting for nearly 70% of the population. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government decided to reopen in phases, with the goal of returning to normal by next June. He warned the public to be cautious, because while Britain “has reached an important milestone in the road out of the blockade, we still have to take this next step with extreme caution”. Statista’s graph shows the number of people who received 1 or 2 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in France from December 27, 2020 to May 15, 2021. In France, starting May 19, restaurants began serving outdoor guests after more than 6 months of having to close. Theaters, cinemas, museums and the Eiffel Tower are also open to a certain number of visitors. On the same day, Portugal officially opened its doors to all European visitors to the country without having to quarantine, provided that they present a negative test for Covid-19 within 72 hours. The Netherlands also reopened amusement parks and zoos, and allowed restaurants and outdoor bars to close 2 hours later than before. In Italy, the curfew time was also lowered to 9pm, compared to 10pm before. Beaches have been reopened to normal since the weekend. For the first time in six months, Austria allowed restaurants, theaters and cinemas to reopen. The government of this country announced that, from May 19, visitors from some countries with low infection rates will not need to be isolated, although they still need to provide negative test results and vaccination cards. two in November 2020, after recording a record high number of daily infections.

Always wear a mask, open the Bluezone app, declare health when going to public places. Accordingly, for technologies that are promoting effective epidemic prevention and control, it is necessary to change and switch from voluntary encouragement to compulsory installation of some basic applications. THREE “Attack” against COVID-19 Currently, there are three “attacks” to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic: Increasing testing on a large scale, implementing a vaccine strategy and applying technology for tracing. In particular, the use of technology chaired by the Ministry of Information and Communications is promoting effectively. Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung said that the new approach from the Prime Minister’s point of view is a harmonious combination between prevention and attack. Previously, medical declaration applications for epidemic prevention and control, and support for tracing only recommended people to use, but now will become mandatory. Second, anti-epidemic data sources must be centralized in one processing hub. Previously, because people declared through different applications, the data was scattered. Now the data must be centralized so that advanced and modern technology can be applied to perform the analysis to produce the required results. Mr. Nguyen Truong Nam, Deputy Director of the Information Technology Department (Ministry of Health), said that for the health declaration for the entire population, people can declare through 3 applications: NCOVI, Bluezone and Vietnam Health Declaration. Specifically, Vietnam Health Declaration is a software of the Military Telecommunications Industry Corporation (Viettel), so the declared data is stored at Viettel. Data declared by people on Bluezone (of Bkav Technology Group) and NCOVI (of Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group – VNPT) are stored centrally at the Department of Informatization (Ministry of Information and Communications). After being collected, the medical declaration data will be collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in provinces, agencies and units according to their competence. This data is used for control, analysis and case tracing. Meanwhile, many units still use paper declaration and electronic declaration in parallel. Faced with the fact that medical declaration data is still scattered, the Information Technology Department (Ministry of Health) is working with units to promote data interoperability and build a centralized medical declaration database. central, connected. INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE APP WILL BE REQUIRED According to experience from previous infections, the next epidemic is more difficult, complicated, unpredictable than the previous one, the consequences are more severe, the treatment is more difficult, and the impact is worse. At the Government Standing Meeting on Covid-19 epidemic prevention a few days ago, the Prime Minister noted: currently the number of new infections and deaths on the world epidemic map continues to increase; illegal entry and residence tend to be more in recent times; appeared subjective, negligent and unwary thoughts of many localities, agencies, units and people; centralized isolation management, after isolation (when returning to the locality) is still inadequate; The new strain of the SARS-Cov-2 virus spreads quickly, is difficult to detect, and has complicated developments. It is predicted that the epidemic situation will continue to be complicated, it will be long, it is not possible to confirm the time when the epidemic will end. Therefore, we must be ready to deal with the epidemic at the highest level, and we must live safely while the epidemic is still around us. Following the direction of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Information and Communications has issued the document “Guide to use the set of solutions to support Covid-19 prevention, control and tracing in the community”. This set of solutions includes Bluezone (a close contact warning application for suspected Covid-19 patients), NCOVI (voluntary health declaration management system), medical declaration for people on entry, and a system to record people coming and going to public places (via QR code scanning) and Covid-19 safe anti-epidemic map system. Currently, there are 9 provinces and cities nationwide that have implemented Covid-19 epidemiological information mapping software (called CovidMaps). The CovidMaps map allows real-time monitoring of the epidemic situation in Da Nang, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Quang Ninh, Quang Nam, Gia Lai, Phu Yen and Lang Son. The Covid-19 epidemiological information map (CovidMaps) helps the community to visually monitor epidemiological information of local cases via the Internet, the government has more digital technology solutions to serve management and control. practice in epidemic prevention and control. According to the information in the document “Guidelines for using a set of solutions to support Covid-19 prevention, control and tracing in the community,” if 60% of adults install the Bluezone application on their phones, the reported data about cases of close contact, contact with people with Covid-19 will reach an almost absolute level of accuracy. Therefore, in order to promote effectiveness in epidemic prevention and control, it is necessary to join hands to use and voluntarily declare accurately information of the people and the community. Many people think that installing and using the application will become a mandatory requirement, like wearing a mask. For industrial parks and factories, the Ministry of Information and Communications has proposed that people working in industrial parks, factories and enterprises must install the Bluezone application and the NCOVI medical declaration application. .
At public places, offices need to scan QR Codes to be able to collect digital data on the system to record arrivals or departures at public places. In addition, any citizen when going to crowded places needs to install the Bluezone application, to be able to detect close contact with infected people (data already stored on the system). The Government Office issued Official Letter No. 3440/VPCP-KGVX to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Information and Communications with the content considering the proposal of the Ministry of Information and Communications on the implementation of a number of information technology applications and Connecting surveillance cameras to support the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic. Persons subject to medical supervision and isolation must declare mandatory information on the application. This mandatory also requires the awareness of the community not only to install the application on the mobile device, but to enable the connection for the application to work. Moreover, using Bluezone and turning on Bluetooth when going to public places, when exposed to large numbers of people, will help people protect themselves and the community, and at the same time help in zoning out the epidemic and tracing it quickly. . When a Covid-19 patient is detected, only those at high risk are quarantined instead of isolating everyone involved. The Ministry of Information and Communications has just sent an official dispatch to the People’s Committees of the provinces and centrally-run cities and the Departments of Information and Communications of the provinces and cities about the implementation of the surveillance camera system at the agencies. centralized isolation facility to prevent Covid-19.

COVAX-19 mechanism. (Artwork: ABC News) In 2020, the Mechanism of “Global Access to Vaccines Against Covid-19” (COVAX for short) was established to help all countries have the opportunity to have quick, equitable and equal access to vaccines. prevent Covid-19. However, the goals of the above initiative are being “missed” due to lack of capital and selfishness of some developed countries. Launched in 2020, COVAX aims to buy two billion doses of vaccine to distribute to countries supporting the fight against Covid-19 before the end of 2021. However, the above ambitious plan is at risk of bankruptcy when Statistics show that, so far, only 68 million doses of vaccine from COVAX have been delivered, reaching 3.4% of the plan. Meanwhile, by the end of May 2021, there were 1.5 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine distributed worldwide, but only about 0.3% of them reached countries with low income. low input. World health experts point out that the disappointing results mentioned above are not due to the lack of efforts by the people in charge of the COVAX program of the World Health Organization (WHO), but mainly due to a lack of funding. There is a shortage of vaccine supplies, and rich countries are unwilling to share vaccines with poor countries. COVAX is intended to be a not-for-profit financial attraction structure. Accordingly, rich countries contribute financially to research many different vaccines at the same time to find some effective vaccines, and then provide them for free to 92 low-income countries who cannot afford to buy them. vaccine against Covid-19. For this mechanism to work, there needs to be enough rich countries to invest and commit to receive vaccines through COVAX. However, in reality, this initiative did not receive the necessary funds to support research and purchase the vaccine in the early stages. Even, many rich countries have signed contracts to buy vaccines individually with manufacturers such as Pfizer, Moderna, delaying the implementation of contracts for large-scale production of vaccines in 2021 under the COVAX mechanism. A major problem hindering COVAX’s vaccine supply efforts is the tight supply of vaccines. Part of the reason for this is the serious epidemic situation in India. The main vaccine supplier for COVAX is the Serum Institute of India, which is producing the AstraZeneca vaccine. However, with the outbreak of the disease, the planned supply of vaccine for COVAX had to be diverted to serve India’s domestic demand. WHO and the Global Vaccine Alliance Gavi, representing the organizations initiating the COVAX Mechanism, have just issued a statement stating that an additional $2 billion is needed to increase the coverage of immunization programs to nearly 30 million. %. To secure vaccine delivery this year and early 2022, COVAX needs the above amount before June 2 to close the supply. According to the original target, COVAX is expected to provide two billion doses of vaccine to countries in 2021 and 1.8 billion doses in early 2022. “Financial bottlenecks” are hindering goals and efforts COVAX’s vaccine delivery force. COVAX initiative managers also warn that, if the current emergency shortage of a Covid-19 vaccine is not addressed, “the consequences could be dire.” The above fact shows that COVAX’s “vaccine for everyone” and “leave no country behind” plan are being delayed. This is not only a problem of COVAX founders and managers, but a big global problem. Because, variants of this virus and new waves of epidemics can enter and re-emerge in developed countries at any time. The only way for humanity to win the current pandemic together is for governments and people of countries, especially developed countries, to share difficulties, distribute vaccines appropriately, and join hands to fight Covid-19.

Rakesh and Dakshina invited 161 guests to their wedding ceremony on the plane. Rakesh and Dakshina, from Madurai, India decided to get married, but due to restrictions and regulations to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, the couple came up with the idea of ​​​​having a wedding ceremony on an airplane. The couple made this a reality when chartering a plane and holding a wedding ceremony on a flight from Madurai to Bangalore on May 23. The flight took off from Madurai International Airport at 7 a.m., although the guest list far exceeded the state government’s limit for maximum gatherings at an event. The video shows the flight filled with guests as the couple stood in front of the aisle and performed the ceremony. The groom can be seen placing a traditional ornament around the bride’s neck while attendees cheer and toss flowers at them. The flight was packed with people. Rakesh and Dakshina officially performed the ceremony as soon as the plane flew over Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple. After the wedding on the plane, the couple went to a hotel in Bangalore for a small reception. All passengers on board, who are their relatives, have had RT-PCR tests and tested negative. However, many guests chose not to wear masks and did not keep a safe distance. The police have received information about the incident and are considering whether to open an investigation into violations of regulations on prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic.

According to Mr. Hoang Trung, Director of the Plant Protection Department, the use of drones in pesticide spraying has many advantages compared to traditional methods. Currently, many countries such as China, Japan, Korea … have also applied this technology, especially the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is also interested in and testing this technology in some countries. Africa to control the desert locust epidemic. In recent years, the use of flying equipment in pesticide spraying in our country has become more and more popular. However, there are still many issues that need to be studied when using this device. Photo: TL. With the initiative in the past time, businesses have gone through many channels, imported drones with diverse configurations and capacities … showing the ability to apply this new technology solution quite effectively in pest control. on plants. Later, the drone can also be applied to sowing seeds in the Mekong Delta provinces or to apply foliar fertilizers … In addition to the benefits such as user safety, large capacity, time-saving …, this device also has some issues to be clarified. Accordingly, it is necessary to have a scientific basis, to guide effectively and strictly according to the provisions of law. Currently, there are no official results to confirm that using drones in pesticide spraying helps reduce the amount of pesticides. In the FAO guidelines for use, the drone is still just a tool that must use pesticides in accordance with the dosage stated on the label. In addition, there is the current situation, many places have overstated information and advertising that any crop, any form of medicine can use drones. This is information that has absolutely no scientific basis. The Plant Protection Department recognizes the results from the initiative of enterprises and organizations in researching and applying scientific and technological achievements to production. However, to use it effectively, there is a scientific basis and in accordance with the law. Therefore, in the coming time, it is necessary to have more in-depth and comprehensive studies and evaluations on both the efficiency of use as well as the technical and economic efficiency of the drone. In particular, it is necessary to evaluate the safety level of using drones in pesticide spraying for other objects in the area of ​​use such as aquatic products, bees, etc. In addition, it is necessary to delve into techniques and find out the forms drugs, biological effects can be used appropriately and effectively with drones. Secondly, it is necessary to study plant objects suitable for the use of drones in pesticide spraying. For example, in areas where scattered trees and industrial crops are grown, the use of drones can be said to be ineffective, or as objects on the underside of leaves such as mosquito bugs, anthracnose, etc. Therefore, harmful organisms also need to be evaluated and classified to apply drones appropriately in spraying pesticides. For example, objects lying in the trunk, on the ground, weeds clinging to the base have almost no effect when using a drone. The Department of Plant Protection will also study to provide guidance on the form of drugs to be used with drones. From the perspective of a state management agency, the Department is responsible for clarifying this issue. The use of drones in the past time has been effective and has many advantages on rice, but there have been no scientific studies on other crops. Illustrative photos. Hoang Trung also said that the mechanism of action of the drugs also needs to be evaluated before being used with drones. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate the plant objects and harmful objects that can use drones in spraying effectively. On the other hand, it will be necessary to evaluate and classify according to the capacity and specifications of the drone corresponding to the appropriate crop objects. For example, a large-capacity drone can be suitable for spraying pesticides for rice or some crops, but cannot be used for vegetables because it will destroy the plants… From the above assessments, the goal of the Plant Protection Department is to work with businesses to come up with procedures and documentation for using drones across the country. In addition, the Department will also develop standards for testing pesticides used by drones. Many concerns about the limitations of drones At the meeting, some opinions suggested that there should be more specific and scientific studies in the application of drones in pesticide spraying. According to a representative of the Southern Pesticide Testing Center (Pesticide Department), in order to spray effectively, pesticides must be able to contact the objects that need to be protected or destroyed. However, the use of drones may have many limitations in pesticide spraying such as difficulty in contact with pests and diseases such as brown planthoppers, dry streaks below for rice or thick canopy trees… In addition, the use of drones will use less water than traditional also reduces the effectiveness of the drug. Another problem is that using a drone causes the particles to fall freely but slowly, so it is possible that some of the medicine will evaporate before reaching the leaves. Using a drone with a more concentrated drug concentration than traditional spraying can also cause acute poisoning of plants. In addition, the use of drones will cause waste of pesticides, affecting the ecological environment if used for scattered crops. The Center for Plant Protection in the South (Department of Plant Protection) said that the application of drones in the Mekong Delta is increasingly popular on rice and some fruit trees. Many farmers rate drones as highly effective against pests located at the top of the foliage. The use of drones in pesticide spraying still has many limitations that need to be studied. Photo: TL. However, with trees with uneven heights in the same area such as coconuts, the ability to contact leaves is not optimal because the drone can only fly at a certain stable height that cannot be continuously changed. The height is suitable for each height of the crop, leading to the not equally optimal distance of pesticides to the top of the tree. The Northern Center for Plant Protection also said that it is necessary to study and evaluate the effectiveness of drones and devise ways to use each drug. In addition, there is a need to have scientific assessments of the effects on the environment and plants when using drones to spray pesticides with high concentrations (due to less water). Because normally, the amount of water when spraying pesticides is 400-500 l/ha, while using a drone it is only about 15 l/ha. Mr. Nguyen Quy Duong, Deputy Director of the Plant Protection Department suggested that in the coming time, there should be more assessments on the process and effectiveness of using drones for intercropping areas. According to Mr. Duong, in the Mekong Delta, people now use pre-germination herbicides and except yellow apple snails at the same time, so there is a need for studies on the possibility of using mixed drugs when spraying with drones. In addition, it is necessary to have a baseline standard for testing devices and forms of medicine to come here, it is necessary to clearly state on the drug label the dose used (amount of water) when used with a drone. The Plant Protection Department said that based on the results of businesses and units that have applied drones over the past time, as well as international experience, the Plant Protection Department will develop a master plan to continue researching. Research and perfect both equipment and processes to use in a scientific, safe and most effective way for the application of drones in plant protection. In the immediate future, the Department of Plant Protection suggests that it is necessary to focus on researching and perfecting the drone application process for 5 groups of liquid drugs including EC, SC, SE, SL, ME; 4 groups of solid drugs including WP, SP, WG, GR. Regarding plants, focus on researching and perfecting the process of applying drones to rice (focusing on leaf rollers, brown planthoppers, rice blasts, powdery mildew, herbicides); fall and powdery mildew on corn; aphids, downy mildew on fruit trees (especially citrus, mango, litchi; industrial plants such as coffee, tea, and cashew; caterpillars on pine trees and silkworms on cruciferous vegetables).

Hanoi is the locality with the most people downloading the anti-epidemic application Bluezone Out of 33 million people using Bluezone, more than 20.58 million people have entered their phone number in the information on the application. The number of people providing phone numbers to the authorities has increased by nearly 1 million people compared to April 28, 2021. The two localities leading the country in the number of people downloading the Bluezone application are Hanoi (3.1 million people) and Ho Chi Minh City (2.83 million people). In the opposite direction, provinces like Dien Bien (70,500 people), Tuyen Quang (121,000 people), Yen Bai (130,000 people), … are the localities with the lowest number of people downloading Bluezone. Considering the percentage of population, Da Nang (43.7%), Hai Duong (40%), Hanoi (38.6%), Quang Ninh (37%), Bac Ninh (34%) are localities has the most number of Bluezoners. However, there is a fact that the number of people who download and actually use the Bluezone application is still a significant difference. In Hanoi, where the most people download Bluezone, the number of Bluezone accounts actually active is only 1.23 million, accounting for 40% of the total number of accounts. Meanwhile, in Ho Chi Minh City, the number of real Bluezone users (turn on Bluetooth for Bluezone to work) is about 1.1 million people, accounting for 38% of the total number of accounts. The same thing happened in Da Nang (40%), Hai Duong (38%), Quang Ninh (38%), Bac Ninh (39%), Hai Phong (38%), Thai Nguyen (38%) when not Which province or city has the number of people actually using Bluezone exceeding 50% of the population. Currently, Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Da Nang,… all have documents to encourage people to apply technological solutions such as electronic medical declaration and install Bluezone application to prevent , anti-epidemic. The Bluezone application is currently one of the five recommended technology solutions to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This is a low energy Bluetooth technology application solution. Smartphones with Bluezone installed can communicate with each other, recording close contact. The exposure history data will only be saved on the user’s mobile device. When there is a new infection and that person’s mobile phone has Bluezone installed, the contact history will be used to alert those who also have Bluezone installed and have been in close contact with the case. Bluezone can also help alert F2 people (close contact with F1). Bluezone warns if the user has been in close contact with someone infected with Covid-19, helping to reduce the risk of spreading in the community, helping people return to normal life.

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…

But few people know this simple act of hygiene was one of the important rituals of the aristocracy and the physically fit in medieval Europe. Washing hands was a rite of passage for the aristocracy and the physically fit in medieval Europe. (Image: Getty Images) People in the Middle Ages were often thought of as lacking a sense of personal hygiene, but the opposite was true. The kings and peasants of that time bathed thoroughly before and after meals. Furthermore, because cutlery is a rarity and most people eat with their hands, it is essential to keep hands clean before eating, and also to show respect to the person hosting the meal. “ Keep your fingers clean and your fingernails well-manicured , from Les Contenances de Table, a medieval text on table manners. Gradually, hand washing evolved into a ritual showing the power and wealth of the nobility, and washing hands was also considered a “sign of politeness”. Medieval aristocrats and clergy took hand-washing and face-washing to a new level. Even this action was solemnly organized by ancient European kings, with many complicated stages. When the princes have guests, they will invite guests to enjoy music and invite them to wash their hands with luxurious sinks, brand new high-end white towels and lotions. A team of servants will be around to help guests wash their hands. Women must wash their hands before going to the party, because in ancient times there was a belief that only girls with noble and pure dignity could touch white cloth without leaving a speck of dirt. After the guests were seated in the hall, the king entered and washed his hands in the presence of all the guests. Only after the king had finished his work were the others allowed to sit down. According to Amanda Mikolic, assistant curator of the Department of Medieval Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, it was a display of royal power for monarchs to wash their hands in front of guests. “ It’s a game of thrones to remind (guests) who holds the power ” said Ms. Mikolic. Lavabo – European hand sanitizer dispenser in the Middle Ages. (Image: Getty Images) ostentatious ceremony All elaborate rituals require ostentatious tools, in which case handwashing is bound to involve soap. From time immemorial, Crusader soldiers brought luxurious Aleppo soap made from olive oil and laurel to Europe. Before long, the French, Italians, Spaniards, and eventually the British all started making their own versions of Aleppo soap using local olive oil instead of the pungent tallow of many. previous century. Perhaps the most famous of the European soaps of the time was the Spanish Castile soap. Today, this soap is still produced and used around the world. Along with soap, the water jug ​​also played an equally important role in the hand-washing ritual of medieval European aristocrats. These vases are often very elaborately decorated and contain warm water mixed with aromatic oils. Another version of this tool is the lavabo – an object shaped like a bowl with a spout. In the most wealthy households, servants will sprinkle fragrant water on the hands of the owners before the meal. The role of the pitcher was so appreciated that Queen Jeanne d’Évreux of France, wife of King Charles IV, displayed a vase in the place of her favorite ornaments. After that, hand washing gradually became less important than before. Many historical scholars have blamed the fork for making people disregard hand hygiene before eating. It was not until the 18th century that this tool was commonly used in meals. “ The whole ceremonial nature around hand washing began to fade as the role of the tableware (knife, fork) became more prominent. Households began to prepare tableware for guests, and then people could eat without taking off their gloves. ” said Ms. Mikolic. But today, even though elaborately decorated water jugs and washbasins are out of fashion, hand washing can still show one’s wealth. It is still too early to say that the rituals of the pandemic period will stick with people for a long time. But today, though ornate water jugs and washbasins are out of fashion, hand-washing can still show a person’s wealth: through hand-painted metal sinks, expensive soaps and soaps. from essential oils to luxurious Egyptian cotton towels, etc. The luxurious rituals surrounding hand washing are constantly being created and developed. “ Every time I use soap, I’m reminded of medieval perfumes “, shared Mikolic.

Signing units hand over the Covid-19 epidemiological digital map system Attending the ceremony, representatives of leaders of Departments of Information and Communication, Hoa Binh Health, Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company, People’s Institute of Informatics, Hanoi Association of Informatics and Telecommunications. Epidemiological digital mapping software has been developed, upgraded and supplemented by a group of technology experts from the Covidmaps digital map to facilitate the search and update of information related to the Covid-19 epidemic. According to the supplier, the epidemiological software has optimized many upgraded features to help support communication about Covid-19.
