The deputy prime minister declared three general lessons against Covid-19 in countries around the world: wearing a mask is the simplest and most effective measure; the rapid detection, location and isolation of infected people at the earliest time is a decisive measure; Social distancing is an important solution to slow the rate of spread.

“Vietnam’s strategy is a poor country strategy, so epidemic prevention and control measures are set a higher bar, one step ahead of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations to limit. most cases of contagion in the community ”, said the deputy prime minister, and said that the unique point of Vietnam was that the army and the police participated in the fight against the epidemic from the first days with the medical force.

According to the deputy prime minister, in the next time, five principles against the epidemic should be better applied, namely prevention, detection, isolation, tracing and stamping out as soon as possible. “The translation does not exclude anyone, a locality. Not only Danang, all provinces can appear translated. However, the lesson of Danang is that, although we have warned that we remain absolutely safe. In medical facilities, especially in departments emergency resuscitation, artificial kidneys, there are many serious patients with long-term background disease, but the epidemic has become infectious after about two weeks to detect it, so if we do not tighten the discipline, “said the deputy prime minister.

Acting Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long also said that this year’s winter forecast will be fierce for countries in preventing Covid-19. The two greatest risks of transmission to Vietnam today are people entering (both illegally and legally) and carriers of diseases circulating in the community. Two approaches that should be given special attention in the near future are the management and isolation of immigrants and the prevention of infections in health facilities.

The health sector will develop a test plan to detect Covid-19 in a new period to ensure accuracy and economy; Have a test plan, reduce isolation time concentrated with experts, investors, business partners, high-tech workers entering Vietnam from various safe areas.

Mr. Long suggested continuing to build capacity to supply bioproducts for rapid diagnostic and testing; urgently research and produce low-cost, high-precision test biologics for early use at border gates and communities.

“The faster we test, the more effective the zoning will be. This is a lesson from Da Nang,” said Nguyen Thanh Long.

Assoc. Dr. Tran Nhu Duong from the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology said that tracking F1 cases as soon as the case is detected is the key and deciding factor, with the principle of traceability being “speed up and kill”. Once F1 is traced, they should be quickly removed from the community by the competent authority, they should not be allowed to isolate themselves at home.

When epidemiological foci and epidemic outbreaks are complicated and difficult to control, localities must locate, completely isolate, and thoroughly quench the epidemic to prevent it from spreading in the community. spread to other places. During the recent campaign against the epidemic in central Vietnam, in a short time, the government established thousands of Covid-19 prevention groups in the community, mobilizing almost 30,000 people to participate directly.
