Relaxation but not inattention

The resumption of all socio-economic activities after long period suspension for disease prevention and control brings positive signal in the early day of 2022.

Health worker at the Medical station in Tan Thanh commune, Lang Giang district administers Covid-19 vaccine to local.

Nguyen Van Tuan, owner of David Tuan Fitness in Hung Vuong street, Hoang Van Thu ward, Bac Giang city said: “For nearly one year, my center has been suspended for Covid-19 prevention and control. After the news was released, many trainees joyfully registered to have in-person training course at the center. We arranged all devices and training space so as to have less than 10 persons per room while cleaning up all things by disinfectant at the end of day to ensure the safety. All staffs and coaches at my center were injected three Covid-19 vaccine doses”.

Recently, many owners of restaurant and gymnast suppliers …in Bac Giang city and other localities have prepared for re-opening day. Several officials, public servants and citizens are planning for relative visit and trip to other provinces.

Due to long suspension, local people are eager to know about the provincial decision to re-open all services from February 16. However, many facilities took advantage of this information and open the service ahead of schedule. The competent forces in localities have reinforced the patrol, communicated and punished the violated cases.

Vaccine “armor” and 5K implementation

Tu Quoc Hieu, Director of the Department of Health said nearly 100 percent of people aged over 12 in the province got one and two vaccine shots, 80 percent of adult population received three vaccine jabs, but the pandemic is complicatedly developed. Immediate vaccine armor is a necessary solution because people with three vaccine shots are still contracted to novel coronavirus but the risks of critical progress and fatality are much lower.

Currently, localities have speeded up the vaccination schedule to ready for reopening day from 0am on February 16.

At the teleconference on disease prevention and control on late February 9, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Anh Duong directed that in the festival season this year, localities were allowed to launch ritual but not festive parts; wedding and funeral should reduce the scale. Officials, public servants and people could travel to other provinces with strict implementation of 5K message.

The number of local infections are increasing but with experiences gained in recent outbreaks, the Department of Health should instruct the grass roots medical forces to reinforce the capability to control, manage and treat Covid-19 patients (F0) at home.

The competent agencies must complete the software to manage F0 at home, boarding house as well as other technology applications to assist the disease prevention task; further enhance the model of community Covid-19 team; diversify the communication method to create active disease preventive awareness among people.

For recent days, Bac Giang has detected many infected students. The children under 12 are not vaccinated against Covid-19. Two sectors of health and education must cooperate to issue guidance for educational establishments to implement various measures to prevent the disease outbreak at school while flexibly organizing teaching and studying activities to adapt to new state.
