(Baonghean.vn) - Based on the results achieved in 10 months, forecasting the situation and implementation capacity of industries, fields, and key product targets, the Department of Planning and Investment estimates that the province's GRDP growth rate in 2021 will reach about 6.25% (in the fourth quarter alone, it will increase by about 7.20%).

On the morning of November 2, the Provincial People's Committee held a regular meeting for October 2021. Comrade Le Hong Vinh - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee chaired the meeting.

STRENGTHENING THE APPLICATION OF IT IN EPIDEMIC PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Bui Dinh Long said that the risk of the epidemic spreading in the coming time is always present because people are currently very subjective and negligent. The current outbreaks are very complicated, and the source of infection has not been detected. The rate of people returning from southern provinces and cities infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the province is more than 1.4%; higher than the national average of 1.2%. Of these, 20.5% have received 2 doses of vaccine and 42.7% have received 1 dose.

“If you think that after getting two doses of vaccine, you can do whatever you want, and do not proactively prevent the epidemic, the risk of the epidemic spreading is very high. In the coming time, the task of preventing the Covid-19 epidemic must be prioritized; strictly manage population movement, and promote communication work,” the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized.

Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Ngoc Hoa requested departments, branches and localities to speed up the work of establishing the Provincial Planning because the progress is currently very slow, and promote the application of IT in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic. In the coming time, it is necessary to speed up the implementation of 4 major projects, including: the Eternal Ecological Park project in Hung Tay commune (Hung Nguyen); site clearance for the WHA Industrial Park project phase 2; Tho Loc Industrial Park project; Hoang Mai 2 Industrial Park project.
