(Baonghean.vn) - The Department of Health has issued a document requesting localities to ensure full implementation of health, labor and social policies for community COVID-19 teams and forces participating in COVID-19 prevention and control at the commune level.
On the morning of November 22, Mr. Tran Minh Tue - Deputy Director of Nghe An Department of Health said that he had just signed a document to send to the Covid-19 prevention and control command center, medical centers of districts, cities and towns on strengthening the work of preventing and controlling the COVID-19 epidemic at the grassroots level in the province.
This move took place in the context of the complicated developments of the COVID-19 epidemic in the province, with the risk of the epidemic entering from epidemic areas across the country.
The Department of Health requested the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Command Centers of districts, towns, Vinh city and related units to strengthen communication, continue to raise people's awareness of COVID-19 prevention and control measures, guide people to proactively and voluntarily comply with epidemic prevention measures, and comply with the 5K of the Ministry of Health.
At the same time, it is necessary to maximize the role of the people's strength (especially the community COVID-19 Teams); proactively grasp the citizens in the area who are currently living and working in localities where COVID-19 infections are being recorded in the community. Closely monitor and manage people returning from risk areas (level 3 and 4 epidemic areas, locked-down areas, including within the province).
