In order to bring the whole province back to a new normal state soon, provincial Party Standing Committee has assigned the local health sector to coordinate with the "red zone" localities to quickly complete the tasks of testing, detecting, separating F0 cases from the community. For Thuan An, Di An cities and Ben Cat town, provincial Party Standing Committee assigned them the task of completing large-scale Covid-19 testing ahead of September 15.

For the Covid-19 testing process to take place quickly and opportunely, localities need to set up plans guiding hamlets, quarters, agencies, units how to take samples for testing by themselves. If detecting infected and suspected cases, they need to immediately notify mobile medical stations of these cases. Along with screening and separating F0 cases from the community, localities need to actively recheck the list of people and workers (including those who have not registered for temporary residence yet and do not have personal papers) to administer at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine for each citizen. This is necessary for the province to reach herd immunity, creating the solid premise for gradually reopening operations in a new normal state.
In addition, at a meeting held yesterday, September 9, provincial Party Standing Committee also assigned the People's Committees of "green zone" districts to map out their roadmaps to ease social distancing. Particularly, people will be allowed to travel within communes, wards and townships from September 10 to 15. They will be allowed to travel within districts, towns and cities from September 15 to 19. After September 20, they will be allowed to travel in the whole province. Localities need to obviously define their actual pandemic situation, thereby concretizing the content of the direction "each commune is a fortress, each citizen is a voluntary soldier in the fight against the pandemic”.
Localities were also urged to establish mobile medical stations fully equipped with medical supplies in communes, wards and townships with the complicated developments of the pandemic. These mobile medical stations will directly connect with quick response teams, fixed medical stations to promptly provide first aid for patients and transfer them to hospitals.
Provincial Party Standing Committee also assigned functional agencies to set up plans on management of people’s movement in the new normal state under the direction of limiting high-risk groups to go out. Accordingly, people prioritized for travel will be those who have received two doses of Covid-19 vaccine or one dose but have had sufficient time for antibody production and F0 cases who have completed isolation and treatment.
