Recently, new COVID-19 outbreaks have been detected in several localities bordering Hoa Binh province, especially 128 cases recorded in Phu Tho in recent days. Hoa Binh has to date recorded 47 infections and is treating three patients, and quarantining four people. The province has so far received 13,359 people returning from very high-risk and high-risk areas, including 542 from Ho Chi Minh City and southern provinces.

The province has received over 427,000 doses of vaccines against COVID-19. To date, 432,470 shots have been administered, of them 349,844 people have received one jab, and 55,827 have been inoculated fully. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued developing complicatedly and unpredictably. Production and business activities and circulation of goods have been affected significantly. However, some people do not strictly follow pandemic prevention and control regulations and, and human resources directly involved in pandemic prevention and control in some places are not sufficient, and resources to support the fight are limited.

At the conference, participants discussed and contributed ideas to the pandemic prevention and control in the coming time.

Concluding the event, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Bui Van Khanh stressed that although Hoa Binh is considered a safe (green) zone, the risk of pandemic outbreaks remains huge, given complicated developments of the pandemic in other localities.

Khanh suggested departments, agencies, districts, and Hoa Binh city base on their functions and tasks to develop plans in accordance with the Government’s Resolution No. 128/NQ-CP, dated October 11, 2021, promulgating provisional regulations on safely and flexibly adapting to and effectively controlling the pandemic.

The health sector was asked to coordinate with relevant departments and branches, and the People's Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city to organise mass testing in high-risk areas.

He also requested leaders of districts and Hoa Binh city to strengthen and regularly direct the control of people through health declaration checkpoints, and community COVID-19 teams; accelerate vaccinations against COVID-19 by mobilising the participation of police and military units; and quickly provide support for affected locals under the Government’s Resolution No. 68/NQ-CP./.
