The working group inspected the Northwest Regional General Hospital.

The delegation inspected the Northwest Regional General Hospital, where four patients were being treated for suspected acute respiratory infections caused by the new strain of Corona virus. Reporting to the delegation, the hospital leadership said that these patients had symptoms of cough and fever, all of whom had returned from Taiwan and China. Currently, the unit has taken samples and sent them to the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology for testing, but the results are still not available.

After directly inspecting and listening to the report, comrade Bui Dinh Long requested that the hospital not be subjective and be ready to prepare medical supplies to respond to the epidemic. “This is one of eight hospitals in the province that can treat patients on-site if they are found to be positive for the Corona virus. Therefore, the hospital must be prepared both physically and mentally,” said the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.

This is where 4 suspected patients are being treated.

The delegation then inspected Quang Tien Primary School. According to the school's leadership, in response to the epidemic, the school has proactively sprayed disinfectants and arranged additional hand washing stations for students and teachers. In addition, the school also organized instructions for students on how to prevent and fight the epidemic...

Recognizing the school's initiative, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested teachers to continue to promote scientific epidemic prevention and control methods for students, such as how to wear masks and wash hands properly.
