According to the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control in Phu Giao District, by August 22, 2021, assessing the risk level in 11 communes, commune-level towns, 70 hamlets in the district, there are 9/11 communes and commune-level towns identified as "green zones" (81.1%), and 02 at-risk communes are Phuoc Hoa and An Binh (19.9%).

Phu Giao district continues to "lock down" to control people coming in and out of "green zones", proactively preventing risks in the process of starting to return to the "new normal" in "green zones" from August 23

Phu Giao district has focused on implementing important measures to protect and firmly keep the "green zone", which is to strengthen testing for F0 many times in at-risk areas with 54,000 test samples, accounting for 54% of the population, thereby detecting 55 positive cases by rapid test and 65 cases by RT-PCR test. This result helped the district promptly separate the F0 from the community, timely preventing the source of infection.

At the same time, speeding up the progress of Covid-19 vaccination. Up to now, 29,414 doses have been injected to the people, currently continuing to carry out 6,000 doses that have just been allocated by the province to complete on schedule and according to the plan.

After the announcement of the "green zones", from August 23, the traditional markets in the district will continue to trade in essential items, implement distancing and divide the frequency of going to the market; food and beverage stores are only allowed to sell for take-out.

Phu Giao district strives by the end of August 2021 not to cause outbreaks outside the community without controlling the source of infection; gradually narrowing the areas with cases to expand the "green zone" throughout the district.
