Nghe An: Commune criticized for allowing citizens in quarantine areas to freely contact family members

On August 5, Mr. Nguyen Tran Chuong - Chairman of the People's Committee of Long Son Commune (Anh Son), said that the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of the commune has corrected the lax situation in the centralized quarantine area for people returning from epidemic areas. A team on duty at the quarantine area was also reviewed and reported to the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of Anh Son District.

Earlier, on the morning of August 4, the Standing Committee of the Covid-19 Prevention and Control Steering Committee of Anh Son district inspected a number of centralized quarantine areas for people returning from epidemic areas, including the quarantine area at Long Son Commune Kindergarten.

However, during the inspection, the delegation discovered many violations such as no one on duty to supervise. In the quarantine area, citizens in quarantine were free to move around, interact with each other and did not wear masks. Notably, citizens in quarantine also interacted with family members at the school gate without wearing masks.

Meanwhile, at that time, this kindergarten was quarantining nearly 40 people who had just returned from the epidemic center.

Immediately afterwards, the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of Anh Son district criticized the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of Long Son commune; requested a serious review and clarification of the responsibilities of each member, especially the role of the leader./.
