(HBO) – Amid complex developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Hoa Binh Power Company (PC Hoa Binh) has been quarantining 20 staff members of the remote control centre from April 1 to 15 in order to prevent any risk and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the electricity grid.

The isolation of the remote control centre is aimed at preventing the risk of infection and cross-infection of SARS-CoV-2, thus ensuring the stability and continuity of electricity supply in the province.

Implementing the direction of the Northern Power Corporation on ensuring power supply during the Covid-19 epidemic, PC Hoa Binh has put 20 staff members of the remote control centre under quarantine.

Everyday, the company will send a vehicle to transport the new working group from the quarantine facility to the workplace and bring the people who have finished their shift back to the facility. The drivers of the vehicle are also quarantined in the same facility with the shift workers. The other staff members of the remote control centre are quarantined at their working place - the centre’s office at the 9thfloor of Hoa Binh PC building. Internees of the centre are also required to self-quarantine and work from home.

Before starting the quarantine period, the centre’s staff members had their health checked. During the quarantine duration, all staff members are required to wear face masks at the workplace, and even don protective gear if necessary. They are also asked to regularly gargle, wash their hands, and clean objects that they often touch.

Earlier, PC Hoa Binh donated more than 46 million VND to Covid-19 control efforts in response to appeals. Of the sum, the company doled out 20 million VND, while the remaining is donated by the company’s employees through messaging./.
