On the afternoon of November 19, he chaired the meeting of the Steering Committee for the prevention of the COVID-19 epidemic with the districts, the vice president of the Hanoi People’s Committee Ngo Van Quy specifically cited the case of re-positive for COVID-19 and then negative. last week in the Cau Giay district and ask to learn from experiences about being subjective in hospitals.

According to Mr. Quy, when the patient shows signs of a high fever, Hanoi Transport Hospital still allows home treatment without immediate testing, so it is still “lazy” in preventing epidemics.

According to the Health Department report, last week the city inspection teams continued to verify the prevention and control of the epidemic, in fact, the inspection showed that the units strictly followed the direction of the City Party Committee and the Popular Committee of the City. However, many people remain subjective to the epidemic, especially not wearing masks in public places such as apartment buildings, markets, and car stations in the area.

Hanoi Health Department director Nguyen Khac Hien, head of inspection team No. 1, said that if only reminders and propaganda are not effective, there will still be administrative sanctions to raise awareness of compliance with regulations in the room. anti-epidemic.

Inspection teams in some markets in Thanh Tri district show that in markets that have been notified in advance, sellers and buyers wear masks seriously. But when you check unannounced in other markets, people here don’t wear masks.

Reporting more on this issue, Son Tay city leaders reported: through inspection in traditional markets in the area, only 25-30% of people obeyed with masks. However, due to the high level of sanctions under the new regulations (1-3 million dong), it is mainly about propaganda, reminders and mobilization of people.

In urban districts, Cau Giay district informs places with market doors, if people don’t wear masks, functional forces will refuse to let them in. Therefore, around 80% of the people practice wearing masks in the traditional markets of the district.

The vice president of the Popular Committee of the City, Ngo Van Quy, assessed that many public places have not seriously implemented the use of masks; The punishment is not drastic, it only stops at the propaganda and the reminder. This comes from both the people side and the management force …

Mr. Quy asked the districts to be more drastic, mobilizing people to strictly comply with regulations on epidemic prevention, especially by wearing masks; Strengthen the supervision and administrative sanctions for cases of not wearing masks and propose that next week the districts have specific reports on the matter.

According to the vice president of the People’s Committee of the City, Ngo Van Quy, the situation of the epidemic in the world remains complicated, as the number of cases and deaths continues to increase, especially in the United States and Europe.

Vietnam has gone 78 days without registering any new cases in the community. All new cases are those that enter and are quarantined as soon as they enter Vietnam, but there are still risks of spreading the epidemic if localities and units do not quarantine well.

For 1 case of re-positive and then negative for COVID-19 in the last week in Cau Giay, the vice president of the People’s Committee of the City, Ngo Van Quy, especially recalled: “Through this case we must always be alert. And if you have any doubts, immediately implement the zoning, doing a test ”.

“We need to learn from experience because hospitals are still subjective when the patient has a high fever, but they still provide home treatment without testing right away. If this case is really positive, it is very easy for an outbreak to occur in the community. “. copper, “said Mr. Quy.
