On February 13, Tet 2, Vietnam recorded an additional 53 cases of Covid-19, patients were reported in Ho Chi Minh City (2), Hai Duong (47). Most patients concentrate in isolation before testing positive for SARS-CoV-2.
On February 13, there were 6 provinces and cities that did not register new cases for many days, including: Hai Phong (16 days), Hoa Binh (13 days), Dien Bien (9 days), Ha Giang (9 days). ), Binh Duong (8 days) and Hung Yen (5 days).
Follow, continue Dr. Truong Huu Khanh – Head of the Department of Infections – Neurology, Children’s Hospital 1, HCMC, The number of cases has increased, even 100 cases per day, but all concentrated in isolated areas as at present, not as worrying as 1 case in communities with unknown sources of transmission.
In Ho Chi Minh City, Dr. Khanh said, we did not discover the first case of illness spreading from the airport or the community to the loading and unloading area of the airport, but in fact we have zoned, tracked and are intensifying testing . for highly contagious areas it is what can best help to “catch” the epidemic.
Dr. Khanh advised people not to get too confused or worried when the number of cases is high because we have mastered the epidemic area and isolated patients cannot infect the community. Large-scale SARS-CoV-2 testing, with as many as possible, will limit lost cases, so that infected people are aware of prevention and avoid infecting family and community.
Associate Professor Dr. Tran Dac Phu, Senior Advisor, Center for Response to Public Health Events (Ministry of Health) The most recent cases are assumed to have detected the source of infection (F0) and close contact cases (F1), (F2) for quarantine, localization and suppression.
But Associate Professor Phu also emphasized that we still need to continue screening for suspected cases of infection, if any, comprehensive testing is indicated for all suspected cases to uncover cases of possible infection.
At present, Associate Professor Phu thinks it can’t be subjective because there may be other outbreaks infiltrating from foreign countries before without knowing it. These sparks are potentially contagious because people infected with Covid-19 have cases where there are no symptoms or mild symptoms. Infected people do not go to medical facilities for tests, so we cannot detect them.
Associate Professor Phan Trong Lan – Director of the Pasteur City Institute. Ho chi minh – said, for the cases in Ho Chi Minh City (36 cases) after the review and sequencing process of all positive cases for the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Ground Ground Services Company Limited Vietnam flights, all patients of strain A.23.1, have appeared in 14 countries (based on the Global Initiative for data sharing on influenza database).
In theory, the A.23.1 strain has the ability to spread rapidly; however, through practical evaluation, there has been no report or evidence that this strain spreads faster.
In the Lunar New Year situation, Associate Professor Phu recommended that people should still comply with epidemic prevention, although the locality has not had a case, it is not subjective, ignoring the epidemic prevention recommendations. Associate Professor Phu said it is best to limit travel to avoid infection in the community.
With the same point of view, Dr. Khanh believes that all new cases are localized, isolated, but not so subjective. Dr. Khanh recommends focusing on the prevention of individual diseases.
