Through inspection, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son assessed that currently, the number of cases in Binh Duong is not high, only 150 cases in the community, however, in the coming time, the number of cases may increase. Binh Duong has many industrial zones and many workers. Therefore, it is necessary to actively use measures to prevent the disease from spreading widely in the community, especially in factories and workshops in the province. "We realize that now Thuan An City is applying Directive 16 of the Prime Minister, but people have not strictly followed the regulations. Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee is proposed to direct and tighten the implementation of Directive 16 in the area. Besides, the province also needs to ensure the sampling work to be able to control the epidemic in the hostels; ready new isolation areas to ensure safety standards. Organize the inspection team on disease prevention and control at enterprises; In addition to solutions to ensure safety in production activities, it is necessary to quickly establish Covid-19 Safety Teams in enterprises to promptly detect suspected cases. The Ministry of Health will also propose to the Government to increase the distribution of vaccines to Binh Duong like Ho Chi Minh City for workers in industrial parks," said Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son.
