Hanoi requested to handle 3 flight attendants who violated quarantine regulations

Reporting at the meeting of the Steering Committee for the Prevention of Covid-19 in Hanoi, Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha, Chairman of the Long Bien District People’s Committee, said that, before the epidemic progressed in a complicated way in the city from Ho Chi Minh, this unit requested the The inspection force in the places of concentrated isolation had flight attendants on Nguyen Son and Nguyen Van Cu streets.

The Long Bien district requires that flight crew members, when concentrating in isolation, do not go out or come into contact in the quarantine area.

“Our site has just received 89 people among the flight attendants from 15 flight crews at the quarantine site and has taken a total of 189 test samples, all of which were negative,” said Mr. Ha.

According to Mr. Ha, so far, the area has received 2,889 flight attendants from 261 flights in the isolator and 4,557 people were sampled, all of whom have negative test results.

The chairman of the Long Bien district People’s Committee said that from June 16 until now, the district has also organized 90 concentrated isolation area checks for flight crews. Through the inspection, the Long Bien District requested the Aviation Corporation to handle 3 flight attendants who did not comply with quarantine regulations.

Also at the meeting, Hanoi Health Department Director Nguyen Khac Hien expressed concern about the time and isolation process for the crew and flight attendants. These people travel frequently so they are subjective, they are not well isolated. In my opinion, if they are isolated at home, they must strictly comply with the regulations as well as ensure the conditions of the facilities, otherwise, they must concentrate in isolation for 14 days, “said Mr. Hien.

Mr. Tran Van Chung, deputy director of the Hanoi Health Department, said that with the flight crews, in Hanoi, there were 10,000 people in quarantine and there had been no problems. However, according to Chung, flight crew members are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2.

“There are currently 3 isolation facilities for flight crews in the city, but after a negative test, they can go home and self-quarantine. Is it safe to let them go home? This is usually the case in Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, it is necessary to reconsider the flight crew isolation process, ”said Mr. Chung and suggested to the communes and wards to carefully review these issues.

At the meeting, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that, at present, we are also very concerned about foreign guests, members of the isolated flight crew at the hotel. If you don’t do this quarantine right, it’s very easy like HCMC today. Son said that with the flight crew, it was known that the Prime Minister had given instructions to be isolated for 14 days.
