In addition, the provincial Military Command organizes and rearranges the isolation and collection areas near the two localities of Thuan An city and Tan Uyen town to promptly provide quick support in receiving and collecting cases of F0 when screening results are available. Urgently, coordination is made to supplement the sampling force in the F0 dissection screening tests. After the screening test results are available, localities quickly transfer the F0 cases to the provincial level for quarantine and treatment, ensuring that the localities' F0 cases have a place for quarantine and treatment.
