PConcluding the meeting, Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Dinh Chinh praised and acknowledged the efforts of Que Phong district and Hanh Dich commune in the work of epidemic prevention and control. Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Dinh Chinh stated: Through surveys and assessments, F0s basically have no symptoms or mild symptoms, making it very difficult to detect. If there is no timely grasp and control, the epidemic will cause a widespread outbreak. It is recommended that localities and units in the district not be negligent or subjective, but need to be proactive, resolute, and "speedy" in grasping the epidemic situation in time to respond.

Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Dinh Chinh suggested:Hanh Dich Commune continues to review and grasp the population in the area; speed up tracing to find all F1s, to isolate them promptly. The commune needs to review and assess the epidemic situation in the remaining villages and conduct sample testing of households to detect and isolate F0. At the same time, consider implementing a "narrow blockade" but must be strict, "no one can go out, no one can come in"; temporarily suspend concentrated study of students in the area; conduct disinfection at the outbreak area and areas related to F0... Urgently transfer cases to the F0 collection and treatment area at the commune's Primary and Secondary School for timely treatment.
