President of Hanoi recommends that people should limit the road from now until March 31

 

  The peak time of the city's epidemic is 3-4 days and will last

Speaking at the meeting of the Hanoi Steering Committee on Covid-19 in the afternoon of March 18, Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung said that the current situation of diseases in the world is very complicated, countries that have epidemics The disease spreads rapidly, such as China, Japan and South Korea, and the number of infections is decreasing after 12 weeks.

Since Vietnam discovered the 17th case (March 6), if we follow the same scenario of the disease situation in the above countries, we have just entered the second week.

"The road ahead is still very arduous, if it is true that China's time has taken place, in the past we have done very drastically.

However, if not reshaping, wasting time, effort, and unscientific will probably not be enough to go on the next journey, "Chung said.

The head of the City People's Committee also said that there had been cases of cross-infection in Hanoi.

"The nationwide situation is that there were 68 cases yesterday. Hanoi is sure to increase 7 to 8 cases today, without excluding the next time, the number of cases will exceed 20 cases," the Chairman said. Hanoi says.

Regarding the possibility of the epidemic lasting, according to Mr. Chung, the world has not been defined yet, if China, we will enter the second week, which means we have to fight in about 10 weeks (2 ,5 months).

The peak of the anti-epidemic in Hanoi was assessed by Mr. Chung from now until April 3, when all cases of people who have entered Vietnam are no longer incubated and will last.

The chairman of Hanoi said that the source of infection in the city that has been straining for several days now is from Noi Bai airport.

"This is the case on the international flight route, while domestic flight, road, transit is completely not 100% controlled, because there are no measures to blockade and isolation as in Europe.

For international sources, it is increasing and there are currently 6 to 8 positive test cases, it will be tested carefully again and announced in the future, "said Chung.

The second source of infection, according to Mr. Chung, is from returning international students and foreign tourists to Hanoi from 3-6 / 3. The third source is officials on duty, in close contact with citizens who are organizing isolation.

Determining the tasks that will be difficult and increasing, the Chairman of the City People's Committee proposed that the districts should quickly redefine resources and facilities. Based on the plan and scenario given by the city, districts need to assign tasks appropriately.

Specifically, it is necessary to detect the quarantine organization quickly. Focus on detecting people who have symptoms of cough, fever, and transport this person by medical means. Medical declaration and home isolation are required for returnees.

"Further testing, testing and testing," Mr. Chung requested.

He added that for the organization to be tested, the City Center for Disease Control (CDC) must continue to train nurses and doctors to get samples. Hospitals must be mobilized and guaranteed to obtain 1,500-3,000 samples / day.

"The work must be spent otherwise it will waste resources, passive, tangled as in Hubei, in Italy," Chung said.

Besides, there are strong measures in community supervision on organizing isolation. Local people intensified the self-declaration of citizen propaganda. Mobile teams must be on duty 24/24, when having information of the people, they must immediately deploy the task.

From now until March 31, people should limit leaving home

Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee said that the disease situation in the area would be complicated and unpredictable in the next 15 days. This is the time when many sources of infection, including the source of infection from the process of receiving citizens from epidemic countries.

He said, we have witnessed religious activities in Korea, Malaysia have become epidemic outbreak.

"Unfortunately, weddings and anniversaries with relatives and acquaintances who come back from the epidemic area easily become an outbreak. Therefore, the activities gather in a large number of people such as relics, bars, restaurants and bars. games, massages, cultural entertainment spots completely banned.

I recommend it to all stores if it is absolutely not necessary to close it, except for gas, drug, supermarket and food stores.

People have no duty in the coming days, from now until March 31 try to stay at home as much as possible. Actually we are entering a challenging phase of the source of infection lurking in the community, the risk of infection is very high, "Chung suggested.

The head of the City People's Committee also suggested that Bac Tu Liem district requires all vocational training schools to leave tomorrow.

Another problem raised by Mr. Chung is that currently, there are 1.4 million people aged 60 and over in the city, therefore, cases of background disease are being treated in hospitals and centers. Health care should be treated at home or only in the hospital, avoiding travel, not going out because this is the most risk group.
