Results of taking samples for the second large-scale testing as reported by the Department of Health

Binh Duong deployed to take samples for the second large-scale testing from August 02, 2021. As a result, localities took samples for rapid test and PCR for 821,527 people, had 22,386 positive cases; at the same time, taking PCR samples for 111,549 workers at 120 companies in industrial parks, had 275 positive cases.

The province currently has 1,204 lockdown areas with 121,963 people; 18,389 people are in concentrated quarantine; 6,872 F1 cases are quarantined at home and 4,336 F0 cases are quarantined at home.

Explaining the reason why the number of F0 cases in the province has shown signs of rapid increase in recent days, Dr. Nguyen Hong Chuong - Director of the Department of Health said that it is because the province is implementing the second large-scale testing strategy in the community. The number of cases highly increased when the province implemented a large-scale testing strategy, proving that the province correctly assessed the risk of the pandemic, checked the right subjects, did not miss, and leave F0 in the community. If the province strengthens anti-pandemic measures but no cases are detected, the province's anti-pandemic measures are considered ineffective.

In this testing phase, Thuan An City and Tan Uyen Town are the two localities with a high rate of F0 cases. Therefore, in the coming days, the number of cases in the province will tend to increase, even increase suddenly. The province predicts that if the incidence is at an average threshold, the optimal solution is to put F0 in concentrated quarantine, tightly lockdown the "yellow zone", "red zone" combined with a centralized quarantine facility at home for all people in the red outbreak, especially in workers' boarding houses with a high F0 rate.

People should not panic because of that, stay calm and believe in the province's pandemic prevention and control measures. More than ever, the entire political system is joining hands, contributing to the drastic implementation of groups of solutions to reduce the number of infections, reduce the death rate and prevent the F0 cases who turn severe from not being received and treated. The province strives that after August 30, 2021, the pandemic will be controlled in the Northern "green zone" districts and as a solid buffer base for the Southern localities to implement the greening roadmap of the entire area.
