Members of a community-based COVID-19 team in Muong Voi street, Vu Ban township, Lac Son district check on health conditions of local residents and remind them to file in health declarations when they show symptoms suspected to be of COVID-19.
Daily tasks of the team include reminding residents to seriously follow the "5K” message, regularly inspecting and handing down fines on those violating anti-pandemic regulations such as failing to wear masks when going out, and helping medical agencies track down people in contact with infected persons.
Vice Chairman of the district People’s Committee Bui Van Duong said the locality maintains 520 community-based COVID-19 teams with 2,196 members. They are the so-called extended arms of competent agencies in pandemic prevention and control, such as discovering and monitoring people arriving from other localities and those under quarantine in the locality. They also mobilised the active involvement of the public and became a key force in the effort.
Head of the city's health care office Bui Quoc Vuong said the teams issue COVID-19 bulletins twice or thrice per day, play a key in tracing down suspected infection cases, and assist families in buying necessities while they are under quarantine.
The teams, comprising secretaries of Party cells, heads of villages, public security and health care staff, and members of organisations such as the youth union, war war veterans' association, and elderly association, visit each household to remind them about pandemic prevention and control measures, and immediately report suspected infection cases to medical stations for timely testing and quarantine, as well as illegal entries and violators of prevention and control regulations./.
