Another commune in Nghe An offers a reward of 1 million VND to those who discover violations of epidemic prevention.

On September 8, Mr. Dau Xuan Manh - Chairman of the People's Committee of Dien Thap commune (Dien Chau), said that he had just signed a document on strengthening the management of people in medical isolation at home and preventing the Covid-19 epidemic.

Accordingly, the People's Committee of Dien Thap commune calls on all organizations and individuals to uphold their sense of responsibility in monitoring and promptly detecting cases of citizens returning to their localities from epidemic areas who escape quarantine, do not make medical declarations, cases of home quarantine but do not comply with current regulations, and arbitrarily leave the quarantine area without permission from competent authorities.

The Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of Dien Thap Commune will reward one million VND/time for the whistleblower. The whistleblower will be kept confidential and protected by Dien Thap Commune Police in accordance with the law. For information on whistleblowing, call 0932.475.666 to meet Captain Vuong Kim Hoa - Head of Dien Thap Commune Police.

To date, Dien Thap commune has not recorded any Covid-19 cases. This move was made after the neighboring commune of Dien Hong had an incident where a long-distance driver from an epidemic area in Binh Duong returned to his hometown without reporting, frequently gathering to drink for more than a week without the authorities knowing. This person later tested positive for Covid-19, infecting at least 6 other people in the commune. Currently, 3 key leaders of the commune have been temporarily suspended from work to consider their responsibilities.

Previously, on August 18, the People's Committee of Cong Thanh Commune (Yen Thanh) also issued a similar document, offering a reward of one million VND for each time a violator is discovered. Lieutenant Colonel Ho Dinh Hoi - Chief of Cong Thanh Commune Police said that since then, there have been more than 10 cases that have been recorded and processed thanks to people's discovery. The commune also awarded the informants as promised.
