In relation to the case, the investigating agency determines, Vietnam Airlines Quarantine Facility Management is tasked with coordinating with the Center for Disease Control in Ho Chi Minh City, districts and wards to monitor and ensure the safety of isolated people. However, the establishment has left a series of shortcomings such as: the check-in temperature has not been measured before; water heater, dining table located in common area; the flight crew still interacted with each other …
The Board of Directors also allegedly did not closely monitor the outcome of the subsequent exposure to 2 positive patients. However, the investigating agency said that these violations have not reached the level of criminal management, so they asked the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee to assign functional agencies to handle the administrative actions.
Regarding Hau’s mistakes in isolating the house, the head of Ward 2 medical station, Tan Binh district, made a mistake because he did not take isolation measures, did not notify the residence (the owner in the Bach Dang Road) although he received a notice from Vietnam Airlines. During the investigation, this person became aware of the error, made a sincere statement, promised to rectify the investigation, so the investigating agency proposed to the Tan Binh District Police to sanction the administration.
