It is said that the strategy must highlight the priority on protecting people’s health; safely adapting, flexibly and effectively controlling the Covid-19 epidemic to facilitate the restoration of production and business as well as socio-economic development, and gradually returning the people's daily life to the new normal.

Speaking at the meeting, Deputy PM Vu Duc Dam asked the MoH to urgently absorb the opinions of ministries, branches and localities, in order to complete the draft of the overall strategy so that the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control can submit it to the Government to synchronise it with the socio-economic recovery and development programme.
