The Ministry of Public Security will integrate travel permits into citizens' QR codes.

F0 management on population data system

On September 9, the Department of Administrative Police for Social Order (C06, Ministry of Public Security) held a press conference to inform about the deployment of a number of software to support the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Accordingly, C06 has launched software to manage citizens suspected of being infected with Covid-19; this software helps to easily update the status of Covid-19 infection (F0) and the risk of Covid-19 infection (F1, F2). Information is available on the national population database system, applied nationwide, without incurring training, transfer and operator costs.

Lieutenant Colonel To Anh Dung - Deputy Director of Department C06, Ministry of Public Security informed about the deployment of some software to support epidemic prevention and control.

To deploy the above software, the Police of the newly deployed localities have updated information on F0, F1, F2, F3 to the system: 6,355 F0 cases; 5,063 F1 cases; 6,954 F2 cases; 1,114 F3 cases.

Local police, commune and town police regularly update and monitor the status of infected/suspected infected people, serving to control travel; quickly and accurately count the total number of citizens in the F0, F1, F2 categories in the management area. Serving to control the status of people participating in traffic and manage population movements, especially for people at high risk of Covid-19 infection.

Timely mark the cases of death and time of death to support the management of residence and household registration after the epidemic situation has decreased to serve state management. Advise the People's Committee on supporting the death benefit policy in the area and the work of supporting social security policies.

Support social security work for the right people, right subjects

To support citizens under the policy, C06 also launched software to manage citizens under the Covid-19 support policy. This software is designed on the National Population Database system, applied nationwide, without incurring training, transfer and operator costs.

Quickly verify citizen information, especially temporary residents, homeless, homeless, and destitute citizens who are eligible for support, if they declare, will receive support at their place of residence; help publicize, be transparent, and pay to the right beneficiaries, and because it is verified on the national population system, one citizen cannot receive it twice; at the same time, ensure the work of preventing and combating corruption.

The Ministry of Public Security has proactively directed the police force to deploy it, and as a result, 63/63 provinces and cities have used this software so far. Nationwide, the police force of communes, wards and towns has coordinated with the People's Committees at the same level to update information on 547,748 cases of Covid policy at their place of residence, and has distributed subsidies to 486,942 cases at their place of residence.

People are used to declaring before going through the checkpoint.

Currently, C06 has put into use the VNEID application for health declaration and domestic travel. The VNEID application was developed on the basis of the health declaration and domestic travel system that was previously launched at https://suckhoe.dancuquocgia.gov.vn.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Public Security, there were 16,921 officer accounts used at 6,616 checkpoints, 5,263,863/5,310,217 (99.1%) declarations passed through the checkpoints, 26,549 "shippers" operating in Ho Chi Minh City used the software. This shows that people have formed the habit of declaring health and traveling domestically before passing through the checkpoints.

Currently, the VNEID application has been posted on both Appstore and CH Play app stores, so it can serve the majority of users. Through the VNEID application, the QR code scanning system using cameras at epidemic control checkpoints will also be implemented conveniently.

In the coming time, C06 will research and propose a plan to control foreigners entering Vietnam to trace and manage their residence.

In particular, according to Lieutenant Colonel To Anh Dung - Deputy Director of C06, in the coming time, C06 will research and integrate travel documents into QR codes when people make declarations via the VNEID application. If this is done, it will end the manual checking of travel documents, minimizing the risk of disease transmission./.
