According to Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, in order to proactively prevent and control diseases, we make mandatory medical declarations for all people who enter Vietnam, but that is not enough, but it needs to be implemented with health care for all Vietnamese. Accordingly, no later than March 10-3 will make a national health declaration nationwide. To better understand the current prevention and control of Covid-19 disease as well as the implementation of the health survey for the whole population in the province, Binh Duong Newspaper reporter has just had an interview with Dr. Huynh Thanh Ha , Deputy Director of Department of Health.
The provincial steering committee checked the preparation of the quarantine area at the department infected with the Provincial General Hospital
- Please let the doctor evaluate the current situation of CoVid-19 epidemic in the province?
- Implementing the direction of the Government, the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers and central ministries and agencies, in the last time, Binh Duong has strictly implemented the prevention and control of Covid disease- 19 in the area. As of yesterday morning (March 9), through the provincial surveillance and reporting system, the situation of Covid-19 epidemic in the province was still under control. Binh Duong has not recorded any cases positive for Covid-19 in the area.
From the beginning of the epidemic up to now, there are 6 cases of suspicion and sampling. Test results in all 6 cases were negative. The whole province has 536 cases of normal health being monitored and isolated; of which 512 were isolated at the residence (factory, company, at home); 23 cases isolated in the concentrated isolation area and 1 case isolated in the Hung Hoa commune health station, Bang Bang district. In addition, 2,048 cases have stopped isolation (enough time 14 days); of which 16 cases were isolated in a concentrated area, the rest isolated the residence.
- Under the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, in order to better serve the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, at the latest from today (10-3) will implement the declaration of the entire people's health on nationwide. According to the doctor, how will public health reporting contribute to the "war" against the Covid-19 epidemic in the new period?
- Making a universal health declaration is a good solution in the current situation. Especially, from the last 2-3 days, Vietnam has received a large number of citizens from other countries who have not been well controlled. Many cases have not yet found a place to live. This is a very high risk source for the Vietnamese community if we are subjective.
Therefore, I think the direction of the Deputy Prime Minister at this time is very correct, appropriate and shows determination to control the situation, contributing to winning the disease in the coming time.
- How will Binh Duong deploy this work, doctor?
- Binh Duong will strictly comply with the guidance of the Deputy Prime Minister when there is a written instruction or official guidance from the specialized ministries, specifically herein is the guidance of the Ministry of Health on the advancing method. On the other hand, in the spirit of prevention and control of epidemics has always been on top priority, the Department of Health will direct medical facilities. In the locality, this content is seriously implemented. This issue will sooner or later do. This is an opportunity to take control of public health.
Currently, the Ministry of Health has piloted the health management of the entire population in some provinces and cities. The implementation of universal health reporting at this time not only plays an important role in controlling the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, but also provides an opportunity for provinces and cities to have a basic number in health management. all people. Through this declaration, the authorities will capture all the risk cases, thereby promptly notify the list to localities to implement the next measures to avoid spreading the disease in the community.
- Thank you, doctor!
