The chaotic situation at Ben Thuy 2 bridge control point needs to be immediately corrected.
(Baonghean.vn) - Although in recent days, Nghe An province has recorded positive cases of people riding motorbikes from the South back to their hometowns, at the Ben Thuy 2 bridge control point, there is chaos, jostling, and lack of distance, leading to a high risk of disease spread.

| On the evening of August 2, according to Nghe An Newspaper reporters, there were hundreds of people and vehicles crowded in one lane next to the Ben Thuy 2 bridge control point (Hung Loi commune, Hung Nguyen district). All of these people had just traveled from the epidemic center to their hometown in Nghe An by motorbike. At the Ben Thuy 2 bridge control point, they had to stop to make a medical declaration, take a quick Covid-19 test, and then register to be transferred to the district. However, because they had to wait for the test results, then continue to wait for the transfer vehicle, it led to a chaotic situation, with crowds gathering and not keeping a distance.

On August 2, the Nghe An Province Center for Disease Control announced two cases of people riding motorbikes from the South to their hometowns to avoid the epidemic. These two people, when tested quickly at the Ben Thuy Bridge checkpoint, were both positive. This is a worrying reality when, according to Nghe An Newspaper's observations, at this checkpoint, no one reminded people returning to ensure distance. Photo: Tien Hung |

| Acknowledging the chaos, an officer on duty at the Ben Thuy 2 bridge checkpoint said that the cause was partly due to a lack of overall leadership. "There are many forces on duty here. From medical staff, to police, military, traffic inspectors..., but no one has overall leadership, everyone does their own thing. The process of welcoming motorcyclists back is also very complicated, leading to chaos," the officer, who asked to remain anonymous, said indignantly. Photo: Tien Hung |

| Currently, workers returning from the epidemic area, when passing through the checkpoint, will be divided by the traffic police, pulled over to one side of the road, then returned to the medical declaration desk. In cases where the test results have expired, they will be given a rapid test right at the checkpoint. After receiving the rapid test form, they will continue to move to another area managed by the Department of Transport to register for the transfer of people and motorbikes to their hometowns....
