This is one of three ships of the 052D class to be commissioned into the Chinese Navy in 2021. Before Nanning, two other destroyers of class 052D, Suzhou and Huainan, were also put into service. The total number of China’s 052D class destroyers is now 18. China’s 052D-class destroyers are designed to compete with the US Navy’s Arleigh-Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. They are equipped with state-of-the-art radar and electronic systems comparable to the American Aegis system. Each ship also has 64 vertical missile launchers. Currently, China is massively producing warships. China’s 25th class 052D destroyer is in production. In addition, China has also been producing at least 8 class 055 destroyers, of which 2 have been handed over to the navy, 6 are in the process of construction.

The Covid-19 rapid test machine is located at Becamex International Hospital, My Phuoc General Hospital, Tan Uyen Town Medical Center to support and increase testing capacity to screen suspected cases. Becamex IDC Corporation signed a contract to support the Covid-19 epidemic prevention fund for Binh Duong province. Earlier, during the launching ceremony of the peak donation campaign to support the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic called by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Binh Duong province, Becamex IDC Corporation donated an amount of VND 25 billion. This money has been used to support epidemic prevention, especially in hot spots and isolation areas in the province. The leader of Binh Duong province said that this epidemic is more complicated and likely to last, so the support of individuals, units and businesses is needed to carry out epidemic prevention work. After launching, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province received nearly 90 billion VND in cash and medical supplies. The province is committed to fully synthesizing donations, making them public and transparent, and using them for the right purposes and achieving practical results. Recently, a number of businesses in Binh Duong had workers infected with Covid-19. To reduce the risk of spreading the disease among workers, for businesses with high risk of infection, the Binh Duong Health Sector will organize screening tests (can use the form of a pool of 10 people/sample). ; at the same time, calling on businesses and the province to vaccinate all workers with Covid-19 vaccine.

In Vietnam, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested to resolutely and effectively implement the vaccine strategy, which accelerates access to purchase and import of Covid-19 vaccine sources for Vietnam, including through COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Program (COVAX). UNICEF and WHO representatives in Vietnam welcomed the first batch of Covid-19 vaccine including 811,200 doses in COVAX’s commitment to support Vietnam. (Source: UNICEF) From defense to attack According to the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang, following the Prime Minister’s direction with the spirit of “fighting the epidemic like fighting the enemy”, right from the time the Covid-19 epidemic broke out and countries conducted research and production, Successfully testing a vaccine against the disease, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vietnamese representative agencies abroad have made efforts to find, approach and negotiate with partners to provide vaccines against Covid-19 to soon import vaccines using vaccines. used in the country. In the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, the COVAX mechanism is one of the best solutions to ensure the rapid and equitable deployment of safe and effective vaccines to all countries around the world. COVAX is coordinated by three organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI) and the Coalition for Epidemic Response Innovations (CEPI), with distribution partners being United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). With the policy of joining COVAX early, in December 2020, Vietnam submitted a dossier to this mechanism to propose vaccine support. On that basis, COVAX has allocated vaccines and committed to provide Vietnam with a vaccine quantity guaranteed to immunize 20% of the population, equivalent to nearly 39 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine. Up to now, Vietnam has received more than 2.5 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine under the COVAX mechanism. This is part of a total of 4.1 million doses of vaccine, worth up to $17 million, committed to Vietnam by COVAX in the first six months of 2021. The remaining batches will arrive in Vietnam by the end of this year and early 2022. All vaccines are provided free of charge by COVAX through UNICEF. Thus, up to now, this is the largest amount of vaccines Vietnam has received. According to Mr. Do Hung Viet, Director of the Department of International Organizations (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), participating in Vietnam’s COVAX program is about finding “the right person at the right time”. COVAX has promptly provided the first two batches of vaccines so that Vietnam can deploy its vaccination strategy, especially for the frontline forces against the epidemic, contributing to helping us begin to change the state of epidemic prevention from defense to prevention. translation attack. In ASEAN, before Vietnam, two countries have committed to contribute to COVAX: Singapore ($5 million) and the Philippines ($100,000). Spread the spirit of solidarity Up to now, COVAX has received funding from more than 40 countries and partners, mainly from the US, European Union (EU), Japan, Australia, UK… AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine, distributed under the COVAX mechanism, has been vaccinated in Vietnam since early March. For COVAX’s goal of providing 2 billion doses of vaccine to developing countries, middle and low-income countries, the amount of money that COVAX needs to continue to mobilize is still very large. In addition, the global Covid-19 vaccine supply chain is being disrupted and disrupted by the resurgence of the pandemic in many places, especially in India – a large vaccine production “factory”. best of the world. In that context, the COVAX mechanism must be flexible and adjusted to meet more urgent needs in places where the epidemic situation is severe. The supply is low, many places have severe outbreaks of the disease, greatly affecting the vaccine supply schedule of COVAX. As a major beneficiary of the COVAX program, Vietnam is determined to join hands with the international community to respond to the pandemic. This is also the policy that Vietnam is strongly promoting in recent years. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Vietnam has stepped up to strengthen international cooperation and solidarity to cope with the epidemic, because Vietnam understands that no country will be safe when the world is still not safe. With that policy and spirit, Vietnam has decided to contribute $500,000 to the COVAX initiative. Thus, Vietnam is classified as one of the few developing countries contributing to COVAX. Mr. Do Hung Viet emphasized that the contribution to COVAX demonstrates Vietnam’s sense of responsibility in global efforts, strengthens multilateral cooperation, thereby enhancing Vietnam’s image and position in the eyes of foreign partners. international organizations as well as international friends. As soon as Vietnam announced its contribution to COVAX, many international organizations, including GAVI, UNICEF, WHO… gave thanks and appreciated this decision. “Through this contribution, Vietnam hopes to have a synergistic effect, spreading the spirit of international solidarity so that governments of other countries and other partners can take necessary actions to increase support for the country. COVAX”, shared Mr. Do Hung Viet. The frontline against epidemics abroad The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is tasked by the Government with the Ministry of Health as the main agency in finding and accessing vaccine sources. With a network of more than 90 Vietnamese representative offices abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated to drastically implement this task. Thereby, Vietnam has access to a number of vaccine sources of countries and international organizations to contribute to Vietnam’s vaccination strategy. Currently, on a global scale, vaccines are not only a medical issue but also contain many political factors. The decision of countries to support each other with vaccines depends a lot on bilateral relations in many fields. Therefore, the Vietnamese representative missions abroad and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have conducted hundreds of contacts and mobilized access to vaccine sources in countries and international organizations. This tireless effort has yielded practical results such as the recent commitments to provide Covid-19 vaccines from COVAX and the US, Russia, Japan, China… to Vietnam. UNICEF has also expressed its willingness to support our country in accessing and purchasing a vaccine against Covid-19. As the world’s largest vaccine “buyer” with longstanding relationships with leading pharmaceutical companies, UNICEF has the ability to assist Vietnam in connecting and negotiating contract terms, prices and timeframes. vaccine supply time. Mr. Do Hung Viet said that this is an effective channel to access and buy vaccines that Vietnam needs to take advantage of. In addition to accessing vaccine sources of countries, international organizations, and Vietnamese representative missions abroad, they also make efforts to connect with state and provincial governments in some countries, taking advantage of the relationship. Twinning relationship with localities to mobilize vaccine support. Obviously, dealing with the epidemic requires the cooperation of the whole community. While doctors and medical staff are on the frontline against the epidemic at home, diplomats are also soldiers on the front lines abroad to “fight” to collect vaccine sources to increase vaccination coverage. vaccination for Vietnamese people, contributing to early fight against the pandemic. COVAX’s initial goal is to purchase and mobilize 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of 2021, enough to protect high-risk, vulnerable people and frontline healthcare workers worldwide, half of which were shipped to 92 low- and middle-income countries to vaccinate about 20% of the population of these countries. However, because the amount of COVAX vaccine received was much short of the set target, by May 24, 2021, COVAX had only distributed 72 million doses of the vaccine to 125 countries and economies.

Accordingly, this time, Quang Nam urgently provides medical equipment and supplies for the prevention and control of Covid-19 disease to Se Kong province (Laos), including 2 ventilators, 10 body temperature monitors, 50,000 masks. cloth masks and medical masks, 500 anti-epidemic costumes, 100 bottles of quick antiseptic solution and many chlorine solutions, mouthwash… the total support value is more than 530 million. Quang Nam province hands over medical supplies for the prevention of Covid-19 to Se Kong province (Laos). Previously, the Border Guard of Quang Nam province provided rice, food, food, medical supplies and many other equipment to serve the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic such as body temperature monitors, bottles, etc. spray disinfectant, antiseptic solution, gloves and some other equipment worth more than 450 million VND to the government, armed forces and people of Sekong province of your country. Mr. Le Van Dung, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee said: “The leaders of Quang Nam province have connected the online conference line with Sekong province, Laos to encourage and share your difficulties. At the same time, Quang Nam has spent a source of funding to support masks, antiseptic water and other medical tools to serve your epidemic prevention work. The Standing Board of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee agreed to budget to support you with nearly 3 billion VND and other equipment and rice to support your country in difficulty during this period of fighting the Covid-19 epidemic.

The warship INS Kolkata of the Indian Navy transported 40 tons of liquid oxygen, oxygen tanks, and oxygen concentrators from Kuwait and Qatar to the port of Mangalore (ANI). Until the morning of May 10, transport aircraft of the Indian Air Force had made 534 flights across the country transporting 336 oxygen tanks with a total capacity of 6,420 tons and other medical supplies and equipment. This emergency air bridge connects 22 cities in India, helping to relieve the need for medical oxygen for the treatment of Covid-19 patients. The Indian Air Force has also made 84 flights abroad, receiving and transporting 81 cryogenic oxygen tanks with a total capacity of 1,407 tons along with empty oxygen tanks, oxygen generators– xy and Zeolite (a compound to make oxygen). India has ordered or received gifts of these devices and materials from Singapore, Dubai, Thailand, UK, Germany, Belgium, Australia, Indonesia and Israel. The Indian Navy also launched an emergency transport operation called ‘Samudra Setu II’, aiming to bring essential medical goods home as quickly as possible. Seven ships of this country’s Navy are being mobilized to carry out the work. The Indian Air Force has also established an essential medical supplies coordination committee to maintain information continuity and reduce time delays in the distribution of relief supplies from abroad.

However, research by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) shows that humans can travel on the Moon at a faster speed than the astronauts on the Apollo. Theoretically, the time it takes to walk around the Moon is shorter than previously estimated. During the Apollo mission, astronauts “jump” on the Moon at a speed of about 2.2 km / h. According to NASA, this speed is quite slow due to the bulky astronaut suit, containing the pressure. If wearing a more comfortable outfit, the movement will be easy and maximum speed can be reached. Humans can walk on the Moon at a faster speed than astronauts during the Apollo mission. Photo: Shutterstock. Maximum walking speed on the Moon A 2014 NASA study, posted above Journal of Experimental Biology ( Journal of Experimental Biology ) tested human walking and running speeds in a simulated environment for the Moon’s gravity. According to the Live Science The team invited 8 people (including 3 astronauts) to use the treadmill on the DC-9 jet. The aircraft is piloted in a special parabolic trajectory, simulating gravity on the Moon for up to 20 seconds. Test results show that participants can walk at up to 5 km / h before running. Not only double the speed of the Apollo astronaut, the figure is almost equal to the average maximum walking speed of humans on Earth (7.2 km / h). The above speed is achieved because participants can walk while swinging their arms. This movement creates a downward force, compensating for the lack of gravity. One of the reasons astronauts on the Moon move slowly is not being able to swing their arms due to the tight suit. The footprints of astronaut Neil Armstrong on the Moon. Photo: NASA. If you apply the top speed above (5 km / h), it will take approximately 91 days to walk around the 10,921 km circumference of the Moon. Meanwhile, it takes 334 days to go continuously all the circumference of the Earth (40,075 km). Of course, that can’t happen because the Earth has an ocean. The same applies on the Moon as well. 91 days is just a number under ideal conditions. In fact, it will take longer to walk around the moon. Determine the roadmap and influencing factors Aidan Cowley, scientific advisor to the European Space Agency, says walking around the Moon is a possible task, but “too weird to be helped.” According to him, one of the biggest challenges is supplies such as water, food and oxygen. “I don’t think you would put them in your backpack because the masses are so great, even in environments with a gravity of 1/6 (compared to the Earth),” said Cowley, we need a support vehicle, also. is a shelter. “Many agencies are looking at the idea of ​​a pressurized rover, which will assist astronauts on exploration missions. They look like mobile bases, to store supplies and sleep at night, ”says Cowley. Adventurers also need suits that are optimal for mobility. Astronaut clothing is not currently designed for vigorous activity, but some agencies are developing suits that fit better, allowing wearers to freely swing their arms while walking on the Moon. Scientist, astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt was traveling on the Moon, during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Photo: NASA. The rugged terrain on the Moon makes it difficult to find the right route, especially the craters many kilometers deep. Light and temperature are also two factors to note. “At the equator (of the Moon), during the day the temperature goes up about 100 degrees Celsius. By night, it drops to -180 degrees C,” Cowley said. The lunar cycle leaves some days with very little, or no sunlight. Therefore, at least half of the journey will take place in the dark. The temperature problem can be solved with rovers and clothing, but it also alters the regolith state – the fine gray soil that covers the lunar background – affects movement speed. Solar radiation is an important issue. Unlike the Earth, the Moon does not have a magnetic field that deflects radiation. “If the Sun emits a solar flare or releases aurora material (CME), your state will be very bad if your body is affected by the Sun’s high radiation,” said Cowley. The circumference of the Moon is 10,921 km. Photo: NASA. The final element of the quest is fitness. Participants need long-term exercise in conditions of low gravity, so that the heart and muscles adapt. Even when everything is ideal, one person can only walk at full speed for 3-4 hours / day. If you maintain a speed of 5 km / h for 4 hours / day, it will take you 547 days (nearly 1.5 years) to walk around the circumference of the Moon, in the condition of the road without a crater, no Affected by changes in temperature or solar radiation. Cowley thinks humans won’t have the technology or equipment for this task, at least until the 2030s or 2040s. “No agency will support such missions. But if some crazy billionaire wants to try, they’ll shake hands, ”Cowley said.

Speaking to the defense subcommittee of the European Parliament in Brussels, Minister Taran warned that Moscow could attack Ukraine to secure water supplies for the annexed Crimean peninsula.

Besides, Mr. Tahan said, does not rule out the possibility that Russian forces in Crimea could “carry out major military provocations” in 2021, but he did not provide immediate evidence for this hypothesis.

Regarding developments, on the same day, the SBU national security agency of Ukraine announced that it was conducting a large-scale “anti-terror” exercise in the Kherson region near Crimea. SBU’s announcement said units of the Ukrainian armed forces together with police and border guards participated in the exercise.

The announcement emphasized: “The key strategic targets of key infrastructure in the Kherson region are being tightly controlled … These are seaport areas, power supply facilities, airports, demand and gas production plants “.

Earlier, the Ukrainian military posted a video, on a rock music scene, showing the country’s tanks deployed in formation with soldiers loaded and fired for artillery during a pushback drill. the attack of tanks and infantry infiltrated the defensive area near the Crimea border.

The drill comes a day after US President Joe Biden telephoned Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss Russian troop reinforcement in Crimea and near eastern Ukraine, among other US concerns.

These are the requirements set out by the Ministry of Health – the standing agency of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 epidemic control in a document to the Chairman of the People’s Committee of 5 provinces and cities: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Quang Ninh, Hai Duong and Tay Ninh suggest strengthening COVID-19 epidemic prevention.

To uphold the responsibility of the leader, absolutely not neglect, subjective, and lose guard in epidemic prevention

Accordingly, in the official dispatch No. 2380 / CV-BCĐ, from March 24-27, 2021, the National Steering Committee has organized an inspection team to provinces and cities; based on the inspection results, the Ministry of Health (the standing agency of the National Steering Committee) suggests that the People’s Committees of provinces and cities continue to strictly observe the instructions of the Standing Secretariat of the Secretariat, the Government, the Prime Minister, National Steering Committee, Ministry of Health on monitoring, quarantine, testing and prevention of COVID-19 epidemic and guiding documents on strengthening surveillance and management of immigration.

Local authorities need to strictly comply with the direction of COVID-19 surveillance, isolation …

Continue to strengthen leadership, direct and uphold the responsibility of the leader in epidemic prevention and control, absolutely not neglect, subjective, and off guard. Regularly reporting, reviewing, drawing experiences in epidemic prevention work. Local leaders must focus on directing and proactively deciding appropriate anti-epidemic measures and take responsibility for epidemic prevention and control in their respective localities.

“When an epidemic threat occurs, priority must be given to the prevention of epidemics, implementing the guideline 4 on the spot, proactively responding to the epidemic’s levels. Do not apply a wide gap; Measures to prevent and control epidemics should be carefully calculated to minimize negative impacts on socio-economic activities and people’s lives ”- Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen – Deputy Head of the Board National Steering Committee for epidemic prevention COVID-19 emphasized in the dispatch.

In the immediate future, to be proactive in a new normal state, both economic development, and preparedness to prevent epidemics in all sectors and fields at all agencies, units, organizations, businesses and communities. ; Ensuring safety from epidemics is the basis for socio-economic development.

The management agency must intensify the inspection, rectification and tightening of the implementation of anti-epidemic measures at each agency, unit, organization, enterprise, and production establishment, especially in places where there are frequent gather people, strictly handle violations.

Strictly manage border entry and exit

The Steering Committee also suggested localities to coordinate with the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security to continue directing military units and the police in coordination with local authorities to continue to strictly manage entry and exit across the border. special attention is paid to the management of foreign experts and workers entering Vietnam to work, those who illegally enter through trails and openings; at the same time continue to strictly organize the implementation of isolation under the guidance of the health sector.

Pay attention to prepare carefully to reopen international trade routes in accordance with the ability to prevent and fight epidemics, ensure safety, promote international exchange under the direction of the Prime Minister.

Sampling for SARS-CoV-2 screening

At the same time, localities also need to improve testing capacity at medical facilities in the locality; preparing supplies, equipment, and biologicals for testing; organize training and training courses for staff on COVID-19 surveillance, isolation, testing and epidemic prevention, especially at grassroots health facilities.

Direct private health facilities to strengthen surveillance and early detection of cases with suspicious symptoms in order to promptly take samples for testing.

Ensure that COVID-19 vaccination is given to the right audience and on schedule

Directing urgently the implementation of COVID-19 vaccination according to the allocated quantity and the local plan to use COVID-19 vaccine to ensure the completion of the vaccine on schedule before May 15, 2021, to the right audience. , safe and effective; mobilize to the maximum resources for immunization activities, including local medical facilities and medical training institutions to organize COVID-19 vaccination to ensure safety and effectiveness for subjects in accordance with the provisions of the Government’s Decree No. 21 / ND-CP of February 26, 2021 on the purchase and use of COVID-19 vaccines, the Prime Minister’s conclusion in Notice No. 47 / TB -VPCP on March 17, 2021; Follow up and set up teams to handle adverse incidents after vaccination.

Arrange a sufficient number of anti-anaphylaxis to promptly handle serious adverse events, if any, after vaccination.

Continue strong communication to raise awareness and self-protect against epidemic risks among the people, strictly implement epidemic prevention and control measures in the new situation, absolutely not subjective to neglect. Provide information to press agencies, mass media and the community about the subject of vaccination, COVID-19 vaccine, monitor the response after vaccination.

Vaccinate people involved in the prevention of COVID-19 epidemic in Hai Duong

Good practice of 5K messages including masks – disinfection – distance – no gathering – medical reporting (Mask is required on public transport and public places) and recommendations vaccination COVID-19.

Strengthen inspection and strictly supervise the implementation of regulations on immigration, medical supervision and isolation, and COVID-19 epidemic prevention testing, especially pre-entry conditions (Examination Certificate negative for SARS-CoV-2, declaration of medical cover …), transportation and handover from border gates, medical isolation areas for people entering (including internal and external isolation areas military charge) absolutely not to spread in the quarantine area, to the community.
