That is what Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam recalled at the government’s regular online meeting with ministries and localities, 2-2 in the morning.
New strains are faster, we have to be faster
The Deputy Prime Minister said that in recent days, the COVID-19 epidemic prevention team at all levels has made great efforts and never before has the health sector been as determined as it is today.
In addition to the leaders, the top experts, the lower-level officials, the grassroots officials are doing very well with the determination to repel the disease. Volunteers who helped with traceability also deserve recognition.

According to him, when a case was discovered, the medical profession immediately split into three deployments.
The first nose is the medical force that detects and quarantines directly. The second nose is the medical force, the job of preparing the facilities for treatment. The third point is to focus on investigating, predicting and judging the situation.
For each part of the deployment, all forces must march rapidly, no more than one minute. “The new strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or any other is also a virus. The faster it is, the faster we have to be ”- said Mr. Dam.
It assessed that the outbreak at Van Don (Quang Ninh) airport was under control and that the outbreak in Chi Linh City (Hai Duong) was basically well controlled.
“Don’t worry too much about the cases, the most important thing is to keep track. What worries me the most is that the day before yesterday, the case said it was positive in Phu Tho, if that case was positive it would be very complicated, but fortunately there were negative results, “said Dam.
For Hanoi, if no unexpected circumstances occur, the epidemic situation here is basically under control. “We take urgent, drastic but methodical and adequate measures” – he said and quoted as in Chi Linh, we freely blockade throughout the city and only tighten blockades by a few points.
He also said that it is impossible to stop all activities, take breaks completely to serve the realization of two goals. “The spirit in the time to come is that the entire system must continue to increase its alert to epidemics. What worries me the most are the provinces, where the epidemic has never been done because there is no experience, will panic when the epidemic occurs ”- said Mr. Dam.
Regarding solutions, Mr. Vu Duc Dam suggested that the mandatory medical declaration should apply to the entire population. “Cases of evasion of medical reports must be handled to dissuade and raise awareness in the community” – said Mr. Dam and said that when it is detected that people returning from abroad or that people returning from the epidemic area did not report , people should notify the authorities. If this topic is not taken seriously, you should isolate yourself socially.
Regarding the problem of the COVID-19 vaccine, he proposed to the Government to have a policy to promote the development of vaccines in the country. “When the quality of vaccines in the country meets the requirements but the price is cheaper than foreign vaccines, the Government should give priority to the use of vaccines in the country” – he said.
Three Possibilities of COVID-19 Outbreaks
Also at the meeting, Vice Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh said that in the worst case, ministries and localities should consider drastic and strong solutions to respond. “At present, we are not too confused, but we are not subjective” – said Binh and said that according to current data, the SARS-CoV-2 virus strain is developing at a very rapid rate.

It also gave three possibilities for the evolution of COVID-19 in Vietnam in the next time. The first possibility is that Vietnam can prevent and control the epidemic before Tan Suu Lunar New Year 2021.
The second possibility is that the epidemic is not completely controlled, but that the community infection is minimal. With this capacity, he suggested that the National Steering Committee for the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 continue to maintain the measures that were taken.
The third worst possibility is not preventing the disease. “When this situation occurs, drastic measures must be taken, a strong blockade, even on a large scale,” Binh said.
To cope with all the possibilities, Mr. Truong Hoa Binh suggested that the forces apply previous experiences and lessons, such as rapid tracking, early detection, and comprehensive screening tests. Local authorities must focus on maximum financial resources, medical equipment and propose policies for the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemics.
He also asked localities not to allow rivers to prevent markets from developing, only to delimit areas identified as epidemic centers.
As for the COVID-19 vaccine, he said, it should definitely be purchased. “We need to research the market, the best provider to implement,” Binh added.
Add 5 new COVID-19 cases, Quang Ninh may distance Dong Trieu (OLP) – This morning, February 2, the Ministry of Health recorded 5 more cases of COVID-19 infection, of which 3 cases were in Quang Ninh, 1 in Hai Duong and 1 in Hanoi. There may be a social gap in Dong Trieu under Prime Minister’s Directive 16.
