(Baonghean.vn) - To ensure the safety of drivers and medical staff on vehicles transporting citizens from Nam Can International Border Gate to quarantine locations as prescribed, the Nghe An Border Guard Command has created a partition to separate drivers and passengers on the vehicle.

Based on the daily reality, drivers and medical staff of the Nghe An Border Guard carry out their duties, transporting imported citizens through the Nam Can International Border Gate to quarantine locations in large numbers, the risk of Covid-19 infection is very high for drivers performing this task. Therefore, ensuring isolation between drivers and passengers is very important.

Faced with that situation, the Provincial Border Guard invented a partition to isolate passengers on passenger transport vehicles. The materials used to make the partition include an aluminum frame and a transparent plastic partition to both isolate and allow the driver to observe the passengers behind during transport. The construction of these partitions is carried out by officers and soldiers of the Nghe An Border Guard.

Lieutenant Colonel Pham Viet Hung - Head of Logistics, Nghe An Border Guard Command said: In addition to strictly controlling border gates, citizens completing entry procedures from Laos to Vietnam, initial medical examinations according to regulations. To ensure the safety of drivers carrying out the task of transporting citizens to quarantine locations, Nghe An Border Guard also implemented good measures of spraying disinfectants, requiring citizens to wear masks to prevent and fight the Covid-19 epidemic. The unit also installed isolation rooms to limit contact between passengers and drivers. Installing isolation partitions does not greatly affect the space on the vehicle, so all vehicles serving the transport of citizens for quarantine are equipped with isolation rooms. The cost for installation ranges from 500,000 VND to 2 million VND.

On average, every day, Nghe An Border Guard vehicles carry 3-4 trips to transport citizens entering the country from Nam Can International Border Gate to quarantine locations according to regulations.

Captain, Doctor Cao Xuan Phuc, who directly drove the vehicle transporting citizens from Nam Can International Border Gate to the quarantine locations, said: On the vehicles transporting citizens to the quarantine locations, there are military medics and drivers on duty. Installing isolation partitions on the vehicles ensures the safety of the crew on duty. The partitions are installed very tightly, ensuring complete isolation between the driver's cabin and the rear passengers, but are made of transparent plastic, which also allows the driver and military medics to monitor the passengers in the rear of the vehicle.
