On the afternoon of December 3, the Steering Committee for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic in Ho Chi Minh City held an online meeting with the districts.
At the meeting, Mr. Le Hong Son, director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said that at 4:00 p.m. on December 3, the entire city had almost 170,000 pupils and students absent from the school.
There are more than 8,200 students and 663 preschool, elementary, middle and high school officials and teachers temporarily suspend learning and teaching. Of these, 8 were absent from the entire school and 190 schools had some absent students or a class.
Regarding the college and university sector, there are about 161,000 students and more than 5,700 employees and teachers who have to stop studying and working.
Speaking at the meeting, Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Chairman Nguyen Thanh Phong said once again that only one act of non-compliance with quarantine regulations has resulted in catastrophic damage. It not only affects public health but also has a strong (bad) impact on the city’s economy.
According to Mr. Phong, the case of epidemic spread of 4 new COVID-19 patients in Ho Chi Minh City took place in the last days of November, although the city had previously controlled the cases of F0, F1, F2 involved . But the new spread has greatly affected the situation in the city.
In the case of patient 1342 (who was a male flight attendant), the People’s Committee of the City ordered that the review and violation of the regulations be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law. At the same time, the Municipal Police also announced a criminal proceeding for this case. Strictly punitive principles.
However, Mr. Phong suggested once again that department and district leaders should strictly review and control the implementation of current regulations on prevention and control of COVID-19 diseases.
