(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control on July 23 held a teleconference with relevant steering committees of city and districts to launch the fight against COVID-19 in the new situation.
Vice Secretary of
the provincial Party Committee and People’s Committee Bui Van Chai chairs a
teleconference of the provincial Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and
Control.
The committee reported that as of 6:30am on July 23, the province had recorded
a case positive to coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 at Luong Son district’s medical
station. The patient came back from Ho Chi Minh City on July 21, and was put
under quarantine at the People’s Committee of Hop Hoa commune.
Amid the complicated developments of the pandemic caused by the fast spread of
Delta variant, the risk of pandemic outbreak in the province is high. The
provincial Health Department said quarantine service there remains limited
while the control of those from pandemic-hit areas and quaratine methods meet
difficulties.
Participants at the event suggested strengthening management and reviewing
quarantine measures, tightening the control of those coming from pandemic-hit
areas, speeding up testing and tracing of F1 and F2 cases, re-establishing and
improving the efficiency of check-points, reviewing infrastructure at
quarantine facilities to prevent cross-infections. About the fourth phase of
vaccination, the health sector proposed localities seriously follow social
distancing regulations, enhance the monitoring of prevention and control at
businesses and industrial zones, especially in Luong Son district where workers
are crowd, as well as at wet markets, and raise public awareness of the Health
Ministry’s "5K” regulations.
The health sector also built two field hospitals in Hoa Binh city with about
250 beds. Amid the pandemic, it plans to work with other sectors to build more
field hospitals with more beds.
For high-risk areas such as Hoa Binh city and Luong Son district, it is
necessary to be flexible in pandemic prevention and control, administer
vaccines in line with regulations. As the fight against the pandemic remains
long and arduous, the Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee asked local
departments, agencies and the entire political system to join hands to soon
drive back the pandemic./.

As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province held a conference on March 18 to review the performance of the "Safe and Happy School" Project and set out tasks for 2025. The project, funded by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students. The event saw the attendance of representatives from the TFCF and 26 beneficiary schools.
