Nghe An: Risk of Covid-19 epidemic entering and spreading from 'illegal wharves'
(Baonghean.vn) - Currently, in addition to the risk of Covid-19 entering Nghe An from passenger vans ignoring the ban on picking up people from epidemic areas, the risk of the epidemic also comes from spontaneous "illegal bus stations" along National Highway 1A.

These days before Lunar New Year, people's travel needs increase. Sadly, in the context of the epidemic,Covid-19, many passengers did not go to bus stations - places with good epidemic control to buy tickets, declare schedules but went to the National Highway to catch a bus. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| On the Vinh city bypass (National Highway 1A), the intersection with the Lam River road, before Ben Thuy II Bridge, a spontaneous "illegal bus station" has long been formed. Buses drop off passengers right here and passengers often come here to catch the bus. Facing the risk of the epidemicCovid-19spread, spontaneous "pirate docks" still operate as usual.

In addition to passengers, many people have come here to ask the North-South passenger bus to transport goods. This delivery of goods creates close contact, posing a risk of infection.Covid-19. The delivery people themselves seem to be unaware of this risk. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

Along with the spontaneous "illegal bus stations" are the activities of those providing transportation services to pick up and drop off passengers in inner-city and provincial areas. In order to make a living, many motorbike taxi and taxi drivers have ignored the risks of Covid-19. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

In the worst case scenario, if a passenger is infected with Covid-19 and gets off at these "illegal stations", the risk of the epidemic spreading is very unpredictable, and tracing F1 and F2 cases is extremely difficult. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

On the night of January 30, Nghe An Newspaper reporters recorded some passengers acting "strangely" when they got off the North-South bus halfway, then continued to wait at the "illegal bus stop" and took a bus with Nghe An license plate to continue their journey to the southern provinces and cities.

These are passengers from the Northern provinces who intentionally stopped at spontaneous "illegal stations" and then "hitchhiked" on vehicles with Nghe An license plates (our province has not yet recorded any Covid-19 infections) so that when they arrived in their locality, they would not have to be quarantined...
