Nghe An: Social isolation according to Directive 16 for Quynh Hoa commune (Quynh Luu)

On the morning of October 2, Mr. Hoang Van Bo - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district signed a decision to establish a social isolation area to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. Accordingly, Quynh Luu district decided to isolate the entire Quynh Hoa commune according to Directive 16. The time of application is from 12:00 on October 2.

This move came after Quynh Luu district discovered a community infection after 45 days in village 5, Quynh Hoa commune. The patient is the wife of a long-distance driver. More than a week ago, this man visited home for 2 days without declaring his health. A few days later, he was discovered to have contracted Covid-19 while in Binh Phuoc. Test results later showed that his wife was also infected with Covid-19. Although he was in his hometown for 2 days, he had a complicated schedule and came into contact with many people.
