The above reality shows that the risk of cross-infection and outbreaks right in the concentrated quarantine areas for epidemic prevention is very high... Therefore, the delegation representative also requested that local authorities and task forces need to rectify and overcome promptly; ensure epidemic prevention safety according to regulations.

In the coming time, 6 working groups of the Department of Health will continue to conduct surprise inspections of concentrated medical quarantine areas, regardless of day or night, and will recommend disciplinary action against organizations and individuals who cause unsafe epidemic prevention practices in quarantine areas.
