According to the report of the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of Hung Nguyen District: On August 17, the district had 10 cases of Covid-19 infection. All 10 cases were citizens returning from epidemic areas, returning on the same day, August 11, living in the same commune, and were quarantined at the district's centralized medical quarantine area.
Hung Nguyen district has 707 citizens related to Vinh wholesale market. All of these cases have been isolated and tested. Currently, 5 positive cases have been recorded and 2 suspected pooled samples are being taken... The number of F1s of 2 community cases (announced) is 251 people. All have been isolated and tested. The F1s of 3 new infections are being traced.
There is a checkpoint at Ben Thuy bridge in the area. Since July 28, the checkpoint has received 6,290 citizens returning from epidemic areas. Of these, 209 are Hung Nguyen residents returning from southern epidemic provinces.
The Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of Hung Nguyen District has been promoting solutions to prevent and control Covid-19 such as strengthening surveillance to detect infected cases and people returning to epidemic areas; ensuring regulations on centralized quarantine areas, preventing cross-infection; strengthening propaganda to raise awareness and actions to prevent and control the epidemic among people.
Currently, Hung Nguyen district is facing many difficulties in the work of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic such as overloaded centralized medical quarantine areas; lack of guaranteed centralized medical quarantine areas; thin epidemic prevention and control forces due to having to deploy many human resources at the Ben Thuy 2 bridge control point and serve Field Hospital No. 1... in addition to difficulties in epidemic prevention resources.

At the meeting, health authorities made comments on the Covid-19 epidemic situation in Hung Nguyen, accordingly: Hung Nguyen district is a locality adjacent to Vinh city (a locality with a very complicated Covid-19 epidemic situation, with many cases of infection in the community). There are community infections and cases in quarantine areas in the area. Community infections are related to the traditional market and religious rituals; contact with many people... Hung Nguyen has a high risk of widespread epidemic spread.
Concluding the meeting, Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Dinh Chinh - Deputy Head of the Provincial Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control, Director of Nghe An Department of Health stated: Hung Nguyen has done a good job in investigating and isolating F1 cases in a timely manner; performed well the province's political tasks at the Ben Thuy 2 bridge control point and Field Hospital No. 1. The district has made many efforts in Covid-19 prevention and control.
In the coming time, Hung Nguyen district needs to continue to promote investigation and tracing, using all measures to find all F0, F1 cases and related people; immediately isolate F1 cases and take samples for testing; spray chemicals, disinfect and sterilize places where F0 has been to and lived.
Hung Nguyen district proactively selects localities to implement appropriate isolation and distancing measures; selects and expands centralized medical isolation areas; effectively manages isolation areas to avoid cross-infection; ensures "4 on-site" measures well, focuses resources on preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic; strengthens inspection and supervision of the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures; and promotes communication activities on Covid-19 prevention and control.
