There are signs of negligence and subjectivity in epidemic prevention work.

At the second session, the People's CouncilVinh cityThe XXII session, term 2021 - 2026 was held on August 4 and 5, the work of epidemic prevention and controlCovid-19is one of the hot issues raised.

According to Ms. Tran Thi Cam Tu - Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee: Recently, the work of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic has been a key task and top priority of the entire political system from the city to wards and communes.

However, the risk of a resurgence of the disease in the city can happen at any time. And in reality, through inspection, there are signs of subjectivity and negligence in the political system, the steering committee, the community Covid team and the people.

The most worrying situation is the situation of subjects not complying with epidemic prevention regulations when isolating at home; people returning from the provinces, but the wards and communes have difficulty keeping track, only when the police investigate the case will they discover that this case has rented a house there.

These are extremely dangerous symptoms, with a very high risk of an outbreak for wards, communes and cities.

Another manifestation of subjectivity is that as the "heat" of the epidemic in the city gradually decreases, people gather to eat and drink at restaurants, and many families organize large parties.

9 solutions to focus on

From a clear awareness of the risks and the manifestations of negligence, subjectivity, and laxity in the work of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic, the Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee has proposed 9 solutions that Vinh City will resolutely focus on in the coming time.

That is, the city has established 5 working groups headed by the leaders of the City People's Committee, the head of the Party Committee of the City Party Committee, the head of the City Police and 4 groups headed by the heads of specialized departments of the City People's Committee to regularly inspect the areas and fields under their responsibility, and report weekly to the head of the city's epidemic prevention and control steering committee. On that basis, they have both corrected and proposed solutions and measures to meet practical requirements.

The city also strengthens inspection and close monitoring of people returning from other localities, especially localities applying Directive 16 and Directive 15 of the Government; maintains epidemic prevention checkpoints at Ben Thuy bridge and Vinh station; strengthens the activities of theCommunity Covid Team(The city has 362 community Covid teams with more than 3,000 people).

The Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee affirmed: If the community Covid team is activated and operates well, it will certainly keep the city peaceful; on the contrary, if this team operates negligently and is not aware of its responsibilities, the work of controlling people returning from other localities will be very difficult, especially after the province organizes to receive a very large number of citizens from other provinces and when they complete the 14-day centralized quarantine, they will quarantine at home.

Since July 7, the number of citizens from other provinces returning to Vinh city is 2,680 people; of which Ho Chi Minh city is 146 people; Hanoi is 804 people; the rest are from other provinces.

Another solution is to continue implementing measures to isolate, trace and quarantine the epidemic; focus on epidemic prevention measures in industrial parks, factories, markets, commercial centers, especially wholesale markets; proactively prepare centralized quarantine areas and paid quarantine areas to be ready for the situation of the epidemic breaking out again and receive Vinh city citizens from other localities.

Propose that the province support 15,000 doses of vaccine to vaccinate frontline forces who have not been vaccinated, prioritizing ward and commune police, community Covid teams, shippers, small traders...

The city has also developed a plan to prevent the epidemic in case the epidemic breaks out again at a higher risk level.
