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

Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung chaired the State management briefing in the second quarter of 2021. Source: mic.gov.vn Accordingly, currently fighting against the Covid-19 epidemic has changed from being the main defense to the main attack; the attack on all 3 shots: Active testing even when there is no epidemic and rapid testing; switch from encouraging to mandatory use of some key technologies; Vaccines are the decisive attack. Action motto from “5K + vaccine” to “5K + vaccine + technology”. According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, technology is important to apply before the epidemic, because it is like a “night watch” to protect people, so that when the epidemic breaks out, we have data to detect quickly. close contacts, not large-scale isolation. Therefore, the Ministry of Information and Communications must work closely with the Ministry of Health to propagate so that people understand that the application of technology is a factor to ensure successful epidemic prevention and control. Technology must be applied in the stages of medical declaration, entry, testing, tracing, isolation, vaccination; even technological solutions to measure and warn about a well-ventilated working environment, reducing the risk of infection. Along with that, it is necessary to strengthen persuasion for people to understand and voluntarily use and not abuse administrative measures. The Minister of Information and Communications also emphasized that technology is a lot but must not cause trouble for people, that is, it must be re-integrated through a single portal, people only have to do it once. The establishment of the Technology Center for Covid-19 prevention and control is also for that purpose. Technology must bring benefits to the people, the community and the value brought must be greater than the cost. Technology is not an investment to take advantage of, not an additional cost for the budget, for the business or organization, but for the technology to create added value.

Covid-19 tracking and management software successfully piloted at Fuhong Precision Component Co., Ltd (Viet Yen). Photo: Hai Minh. Accordingly, the software has the function to help businesses update all contents such as: List of employees, information on changes in people living with them, information on changes in means of transportation (car rides). ), support update from excel file. This helps companies manage all employees, quickly search for objects to conduct tracing F1, F2, F3 when detecting workers infected with Covid-19. Through this pilot software, the Department has completed updating all necessary information and data on the software for 7,196 workers at 5 enterprises. In which, Casablanca Joint Stock Company – Tan Thinh Factory is 216 people, Bac Giang Garment Corporation LGG is 446 people, Ha Thanh Fashion Joint Stock Company is 752 people, One member limited company Viet Pan Pacific World is 4,401 people, Fuhong Precision Component Co., Ltd is 1,381 people. Mr. Nguyen Gia Phong, Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications said that, in addition to the initial software updates, the units continue to update information about changes in accommodation and means of transportation every day. employees to ensure accuracy in the management process.

Disinfectant spray at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City Photo: Uyen Phuong Translation in Ho Chi Minh City is very complex Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc said that there are currently 7 enterprises in industrial parks (IZs) in Ho Chi Minh City with COVID-19 cases. Most of the places have only 1-2 cases, there is no sign of spreading to other places. At the bridge point in Ho Chi Minh City, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that after the first 15 days, the epidemic situation in the city was still “very complicated”; There are still some chains discovered in the community. “However, in terms of epidemiology, we have a chance to control the chains of infection,” said the Deputy Health Minister. In Ho Chi Minh City, a number of aquatic and seafood processing factories have a very high density of workers, in a cold and closed environment, so the number of cases is higher (6-11 cases). It is expected that Ho Chi Minh City will set up about 100 delegations to inspect all factories and enterprises operating in the industrial park. Large factories and enterprises need to have a plan to arrange accommodation for the core workers, in the industrial park or a closed process from accommodation, dormitory, to the factory to work, live and bring. about. The deputy minister said that currently, Ho Chi Minh City has prepared a treatment plan for 5,000 patients, but needs to prepare more equipment to treat patients on ventilators, with severe developments. Do not “circle but loose”! That is the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam for Ho Chi Minh City. He emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City is a big city, the authorities and people have gone through the practical process of fighting the epidemic, so the decisions on social distancing, isolation and blockade must be in the spirit of trying to be as concise as possible. . The purpose of social distancing is to slow the spread of the epidemic, identify outbreaks, sources of infection, and scale, to narrowly, tightly, and strive not to prolong the situation. widespread social distancing. Ho Chi Minh City has passed 14 days of social distancing, must urgently investigate the epidemiology, classify the areas considered safe or have a solution after continuing to implement some measures that are determined to be safe. to loosen. “On the contrary, the areas at risk must be tightened even more, not to the situation of mass concentration as reflected by the people; clearly define public areas not to gather large numbers of people; control traffic flows from outbreak areas in the city. The spirit is not equal to everything, because we have to serve dual goals, even in fighting the epidemic. If the area is wide but not tight inside, it will not only affect the economy and society, but it will also be very difficult to fight the epidemic,” the Deputy Prime Minister requested. Pilot guide to isolating F1 cases at home For industrial zones, the Deputy Prime Minister asked Ho Chi Minh City to “keep up with strong measures”. The city needs to increase testing and warning to quickly detect infections in the first 3 days. “Although Ho Chi Minh City’s testing capacity is very good compared to other provinces, with a population of 10 million people and many industrial zones, the city must have a plan to increase testing capacity in case the epidemic occurs in the industrial zone. In particular, the coordination of testing must ensure consistency among the testing units, meeting the sampling rate, tracing to catch up with the spread of the epidemic, absolutely not allowing the testing situation to be interrupted. slow, mistaken due to coordination work as happened in some places,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted. In the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City needs to urgently complete the pilot guidance on isolating F1 cases at home, ensuring strict medical safety as well as people’s privacy, in accordance with the conditions of the city. in situations where a large number of people are infected. Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said that from June 18, Ho Chi Minh City will pilot self-testing samples and carry out F1 isolation at home. At the same time, a review will be organized to ensure safety in the concentrated isolation area and prevent cross-infection; strengthen the review outside the community, industrial zones. According to the Ministry of Health, on June 17, Vietnam recorded 515 new cases. In which, there are 12 isolated cases immediately after entry and 503 cases recorded domestically in Bac Giang (327), Ho Chi Minh City (137), Tien Giang (13), Bac Ninh (12), Binh Duong (7), Ha Tinh (4), Lang Son (2), Nghe An (1). Of the 503 cases, 495 were detected in an isolation ward or a blockade. Stop cross-infection in concentrated isolation khu Chairman of Bac Giang Provincial People’s Committee Le Anh Duong said that hot spots around industrial zones in Viet Yen have been cleared and cleaned. New infections appeared mainly in 25/286 concentrated isolation areas for workers of Hosiden Company. At this point, Bac Giang province will continue to expand the density in concentrated isolation areas with new infections according to high-risk groups (1 person/room), medium risk (2-3 people/room), high-risk low (4 people/room). Bac Giang classifies concentrated isolation areas according to red (with new cases for 2 consecutive days or 1 day with many cases), yellow (with cases of infection), blue (no cases of infection), to focus on inspection and key surveillance, limiting cross-infection, etc. Up to now, Bac Giang has 123 factories with about 20,000 workers returning to work in the industrial park. Enterprises strictly comply with the regulations on epidemic prevention and control in the direction that the workers of any enterprise will stay together, eat together, work together in shifts and crews. So 3 companies detected 9 cases but did not lead to widespread spread. Bac Giang has a permanent monitoring department for epidemic prevention and control in the industrial park. Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam asked Bac Giang province to focus on expanding the density in concentrated isolation areas with cases to stop cross-infection.

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

Le Thanh Ton Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City is deserted because of the implementation of social distancing. (Photo: Thanh Vu/VNA) Currently, Ho Chi Minh City has many outbreaks of unknown origin in the community and from there spreading to many people, so it is necessary to accelerate the screening and wide-ranging work to end the infection chains. This is the direction of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City at the meeting of the city’s Steering Committee for Epidemic Prevention and Control on the afternoon of June 15. Reporting at the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Tan Binh, Director of Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Health, said that on June 15, the city recorded 90 cases of COVID-19. Up to now, Ho Chi Minh City has 1,252 cases of COVID-19 in the community with many outbreaks with wide spread such as the outbreak of the Phuc Hung mission group with 476 positive cases for SARS-CoV-2; Outbreak Hoc Mon Mechanical Workshop has 51 positive cases; Ehome 3 apartment outbreak has a total of 59 positive cases; Outbreak Road 11 (Hiep Binh Phuoc ward, Thu Duc city) has 8 positive cases; Outbreaks in Tan Thoi 2 and Tan Thoi Hiep 3 hamlets (Tan Hiep commune, Hoc Mon district) have 32 positive cases; Kim Minh company outbreak (Ward 13, District 5) has 27 positive cases; Outbreak Tan Phu District Hospital has 14 positive cases; Outbreak of Xuyen A Hospital has 22 positive cases… The director of the Department of Health is concerned about the outbreak at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases because the number of cases has reached 67, of which 60 are medical staff and 7 cases are family members of these staff. . Besides, more and more cases appear in companies and industrial zones in recent days. Concerned about the situation of many new infection chains appearing in the community, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong acknowledged that new outbreaks appear according to a common formula of hospital screening. detecting cases, then screening and tracing at living quarters and workplaces again discovered new cases. “There are more and more new cases with unknown sources of infection, so for infection chains with unknown sources of infection, it is necessary to focus on screening, testing and testing on a large scale because if not blocked, the epidemic will spread. to the community,” Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong expressed concern. Chairman of the People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong directed, in the immediate future, the health sector must carefully screen risk groups in hospitals; Sampling implementation extensive testing to industrial area , export processing zones from now until June 25; at the same time, monitor high-risk places including domestic and international flights, trains and ships entering Ho Chi Minh City. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong also suggested that departments, branches, districts of the city must be ready to prepare plans for epidemic prevention and control in a spirit of speed and determination because of the fact that there are still many cases of negligence in the public sector. epidemic prevention and control. According to the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, this is the time when the entire political system must try and devote all its efforts to the goal of epidemic prevention and control, ensuring the safety and health of the people. Only in this way can we shorten the time of social distancing and bring life back to a new normal.

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

People make electronic medical declarations. The National Center for Technology for COVID-19 Prevention and Control has the task of acting as the focal point for coordination and coordination with agencies, organizations and enterprises participating in technical and technology-related support and cooperation to support support for the prevention of COVID-19; design, organize, build, manage, operate, monitor, ensure safety and network security for technology platforms and systems for epidemic prevention and control. The center performs unified management, centralized connection and distribution of electronic medical declaration data, domestic movement declaration data, people’s reflection data, quarantine point data and data control entry and exit of quarantine points between epidemic prevention technology systems. The Center has a flexible working structure, is not an administrative organization, does not create additional organizations and staff, besides the Director, in charge of general administration is the leader of the Informatics Department. The Ministry of Information and Communications also invites medical experts and technology experts to join the National Center for Technology for COVID-19 Prevention and Control, as core members. Reportedly, in the conclusion of the online meeting of the National Steering Committee with the provinces of Bac Ninh, Bac Giang and Ho Chi Minh City on June 2, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam asked the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Health, The information analysis team of the National Steering Committee coordinated and gathered businesses and experts to urgently complete applications, software and technology solutions to effectively support the task of medical declaration, managing people in isolation, tracing, managing people entering and leaving the hospital, testing and administering vaccines; complete the COVID-19 safety map tool so that localities, businesses and people can look up and participate in updating smoothly.

Tom Stevens returns to the owner of the old bow containing many important photos Colleen Distin An employee working on a project to renovate the historic theater in California, USA found a wallet that was lost 46 years ago. Tom Stevens said he was in the crawl room under the balcony at the Majestic Ventura theater, Ventura, when he found the wallet among a pile of ticket stubs, boxes and candy wrappers. Inside the wallet were some old photos, the ticket stub of a 1973 Grateful Dead concert, and a California driver’s license that expired in 1976. Colleen Distin’s name on the driver’s license, so following this information, Mr. Tom Stevens shared and searched online. However, he also found a lot of useful information. His owner, Loanne Wullaert, suggested he could use the theater’s Facebook page to post a search for the wallet’s owner. Tom Stevens was very surprised when the post received the attention of netizens and shared widely, the information finally reached Distin, a long-time resident of Ventura. Colleen Distin is a woman who lost her wallet while going to the theater in 1975. She called to report the loss of her wallet to the theater but received a notification that no one had found her wallet. The owner of the wallet couldn’t believe that one day he would get the item back after 46 years of dropping it. She is happy because in her wallet there are still old photos with many memories in it.

It’s amazing, there are people honest out there, willing to do whatever it takes to return your valuables.”

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.

“Last March, I flew to Hanoi for work. Before that, I made a medical declaration on the web, but forgot to take a photo. I thought the data would be on the Bluezone app because this app also has a declaration section. , when I went to the airport to open the app, I knew I had to make a medical declaration from the beginning, which took time,” shared Ngoc Mai, an office worker living in Ho Chi Minh City. “On the last election day, I still had to make a medical declaration when I went to the place. I don’t understand why they didn’t let me scan the QR code that I just declared a few days ago,” said Ngoc Phuong, living in Ba Dinh district, Hanoi. said. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that anti-epidemic applications currently use a unified data store. Photo: VGP. Share with Zing , a representative of the Department of Informatization, under the Ministry of Information and Communications affirmed that the database of applications is now interconnected, helping to increase the efficiency of the applications and reduce the cumbersome for people. Why does the application need data communication? Mr. Do Lap Hien, Deputy Director of the Center for E-Government, under the Department of Informatization, explained the inconvenience when applications use independent and unconnected data. “In the past, there were cases where people declared their health on the NCOVI app, then downloaded more Bluezone to protect themselves. When going to a quarantine point, opening the health declaration function on Bluezone, there is no previously declared data. This is really inconvenient. In the opposite direction, the trace group when accessing the information of the Bluezone app, the data in the app is just the phone’s code. They have to find the corresponding information in the NCOVI or VHD database to know who and where the close contact is. This process will reduce the tracking speed,” said Mr. Hien. Anti-epidemic applications all have medical declaration functions. Data warehouse interoperability ensures this functionality works across applications. Photo: Tuan Anh. During the National Online Conference on the situation and urgent solutions to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic on the morning of May 29, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that the current anti-epidemic applications have used a unified data warehouse. . “Once synchronized, only one operation can access all information on the applications, more effective in fighting the epidemic,” Mr. Hien shared. Centrally connected IT applications, linked data. This is an important development step in the application of technology and data. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung According to the representative of the Center, when updating to the latest version, the applications will use the linked data. This is to ensure that the people’s experience is seamless and unaffected. The latest version of Bluezone will be updated on the iOS and Android app stores this week. “For citizens and users, all changes must be ‘transparent’ to them. The application must not change anything about the user experience, only more convenient, “said Mr. Hien. App data will delete itself after a month Despite being propagated about anti-epidemic applications, many users said they encountered difficulties and inconveniences when using. For example, with the Bluezone application, having to constantly turn on the Bluetooth connection makes users worry about consuming the smartphone’s battery. “I installed Bluezone since last year, but sometimes it bothers me because there are too many notifications. Also, I don’t know if the app is effective because now I don’t see the number of people exposed to almost the same amount of time,” Anh Hoang said. , working in Hanoi shared. In addition, the information that people who do not install Bluezone may be fined is also confusing. Reply Zing , a representative of the Information Technology Department, Ministry of Health said that the fine or not will depend on local regulations. Bluezone application supports the process of tracing, close contact. Photo: VH. “The regulation clearly states that when going to a public place, it is mandatory to install the Bluezone application and turn on Bluetooth. If it is in a personal space, at home or in a place where there are not many people, it is not necessary. The sanction will depend on the risk or development of the epidemic in the locality. Thus, depending on the local situation, the sanction will be assigned to the People’s Committees of the provinces and cities for their own consideration and decision”, said Mr. Nguyen Truong Nam, Deputy Director of the Information Technology Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade. Health said. Personal data will be deleted after one month of storage so that people can rest assured to comply. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung In addition, there are also concerns about the security of people’s personal information. Sharing about this issue, a representative of the Center for E-Government said that current data according to regulations will be deleted after 30 days. This number may change depending on the development of the disease and the requirements of the Ministry of Health. “Currently reserved data will be deleted after one month. When deleted, it will be completely deleted and cannot be retrieved, in order to ensure the privacy of users, “said Mr. Hien. Due to anti-epidemic requirements, many units and objects can access anti-epidemic data. However, depending on the scope and needs, these objects will have limited access. Not everyone can access the user’s data and information. In addition, according to the Minister of Information and Communications, wearable isolation monitoring devices will be deployed from June 1, immediately for workers in industrial parks. This bracelet is part of a seamless system, data will also be shared with other applications to ensure isolation. “Currently, the new bracelet solution is being tested at the request of the Ministry of Health. Regardless of the technology application, we will ensure that the data is attached to the application, which is part of the system.” representative of the Center for E-Government said.

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

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.

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

Facebook’s WhatsApp messaging app icon. Photo: AFP/VNA MEITy’s new rules require major social media platforms like WhatsApp to “trace” the origin of specific messages sent on the messaging service. However, according to a WhatsApp spokesperson, asking messaging apps to trace chats is equivalent to asking WhatsApp to track every single message sent on the app. This would break end-to-end encryption and fundamentally compromise user privacy. The spokesperson stressed that along with civil society and experts around the world, WhatsApp has always opposed requests to violate user privacy, but the application is owned by this social network Facebook. We will also continue to work with the Government of India to find practical solutions to keep everyone safe, including responding to valid legal requests for the information WhatsApp makes available. Earlier, the press reported that social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Google and Twitter could face legal action in India if they do not comply with a new regulation by the government to strengthen control. control of intermediary platforms, effective May 26. Failure to comply with the above provisions will result in the social media networks being stripped of their intermediary platform status and immunity and will face criminal action under Indian law. The above regulations also require social media companies to appoint a resident grievance officer, regulatory compliance officer and basic contact person, as well as to disclose detailed information about the company. details of these people on their website, along with physical contact addresses. The regulation also requires traceability of the originator of the message and includes a provision for voluntary verification as a way to establish user identity.

Many people are curious about the owner of the Dogecoin account worth 12 billion USD – Photo: iStock. The story behind the man who owns the world’s largest Dogecoin virtual currency account is probably not as attractive as the story of investors on social networks like Elon Musk or his fans. However, since the beginning of the year, with the price of Dogecoin increasing by more than 100%, the account value has reached 12 billion USD, making many people curious about its owner. According to Business Insider, this Dogecoin “shark” account has the address DH5yaieqoZN36fDVciNyRueRGvGLR3mr7L, owning a total of 36.7 billion Dogecoins since 2019, equivalent to 28% of the total number of Dogecoins in circulation. Many analysts and investors began to dissect who is behind this “huge” virtual currency account. Some people even send a small amount of Dogecoin to the above “shark” account to try to find out the identity of the owner. “The above account could be linked to a cryptocurrency exchange,” said Patrick Lodder, a core developer of Dogecoin. Working for the Dogecoin project since 2014, Lodder said that anyone can send Dogecoin coins to a public account, but the amount deposited into an account cannot be a “clue” for identification. account holder, unless it is an extremely large amount. Buying Dogecoin since 2019, the above “shark” account is rarely sold. The last sale was 100 million Dogecoin in April 2021 and is also the only sale this year. Based on this information, CoinDesk’s director of research suggested that the account must be owned by an individual, not a transaction. In response to this information, Lodder said it could be a cold wallet of an exchange. “An exchange that manages a lot of Dogecoin might not keep it on a server but store it offline – on a cold wallet, for example. This explains why there are not many sales from this account. With such a high value virtual currency account, it is safer to store it in a cold wallet,” Lodder analyzed. Lodder said the only way to determine for sure who the account owner is is for the person to speak up and present evidence, but this is a risky job if you look at the “terrible” account value. “above. On social networks, countless speculations about the owner of the above account. Following the data on the blockchain, an account on the news site Reddit hypothesized that this “shark” address could be one of the cold wallets of Robinhood – the famous free-to-use stock exchange. in U.S.A. This theory is agreed by more than 4,000 people in the Reddit community. However, many others believe that this account may belong to “Dogecoin father” Elon Musk. Like many other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin is a decentralized currency, not managed by an authority or entity. This makes it more secure and less vulnerable to change by any entity. However, this also creates rumors of lack of control and endangers the coin. “Rumours of ‘sharks’ selling Dogecoins can scare investors into selling,” Lodder said. Dogecoin was born in 2013 as a satire to the crazy craze of virtual currency and was designed with the design concept from the famous “Doge” trend on the Internet. Dogecoin was not originally created as a means of payment but simply as a joke. However, this virtual currency is still bought and sold on virtual currency exchanges. Dogecoin often increases in price when it is promoted by famous individuals on social networks. In early 2021, Dogecoin was only $0.004, even when Bitcoin – the largest virtual currency on the market – skyrocketed to nearly $30,000. In early May, this virtual currency set a record of $0.718/Dogecoin.

The 5-star Ambasssador Cruisse has now docked at the old Bai Chay Ferry Wharf and has been arranged by the Quang Ninh Port Authority in a separate anchorage area. Previously, the functional forces of Ha Long City discovered the case of Mr. (26 years old, native of Ly Nhan, Ha Nam) is F1, has a history of contact with patients related to the outbreak in Ha Nam province, is currently an employee of the kitchen department on the Ambassador Cruise ship, number QN 8879 is on board.

Besides, Bluezone also added many useful features related to epidemic prevention and health such as: QR code scanning, medical declaration, domestic movement declaration… In addition, Bluezone also regularly updates information. about the epidemic and the notes for everyone to monitor and prevent Facing the complicated epidemic situation, Bkav has set a goal of all people installing and using Bluezone. According to Bkav, the effectiveness of Bluezone is proportional to the number of people who install and use it. The more Bluezone enters the epidemic, the more effective it is, in the epidemic center more effective than in other areas, due to the increased awareness of installation and use of people in the epidemic area. User successfully installs Bluezone application on smartphone. Photo: HOANG GIANG Bluezone application is promoted to propagate and deploy during the second outbreak of COVID-19 in Vietnam from July 25, 2020. In Hai Duong, with a 27% installation rate since August 16, 1,035 F1 and F2 have been identified. The second outbreak in Hai Duong broke out from January 27, 2021, on February 24, with the installation rate reaching 43%, the system traced 1993 cases of F1, F2. Of which, 17 positive cases were traced outside the traditional epidemiological investigation list. In addition, Bkav also recommends that checking in QR Code in public places is mandatory during an outbreak. The public check-in method helps to quickly track down outbreaks such as restaurants and markets. Regularly checking in QR Code on Bluezone also helps the application operate in priority mode to increase the efficiency of contact recording.

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