Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Loc Ha speaks at the meeting
Speaking to conclude the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam affirmed that this 4th outbreak has been over for more than a month; so far the pandemic situation has been basically controlled. However, this outbreak is completely different from the previous ones because the pandemic has entered the industrial parks, invaded enterprises and the boarding houses of workers working in industrial parks. Therefore, the goal is not to let the pandemic invade and spread in the industrial parks; detect cases no later than 3 days. To do that, enterprises must strictly comply with health declarations, regularly update workers' health, and update the Covid-19 safety map.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that, if there is a pandemic in the industrial park, it is necessary to calculate how to turn the workers' boarding house into a quarantine area for workers and must be distanced when in quarantine, basically must self-quarantine on the spot. In localization quarantine, localities have to localize neatly, but in urgent situations, implementing wide quarantine localization, and then gradually narrowing. Updating the Covid-19 safety map needs to be updated to F2, F3, with a method of reorganizing production. In an industrial park, enterprises need to divide areas and divide shifts, so that when a positive case occurs, only one area or production line is needed to localize. Regarding the Covid-19 vaccine, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam emphasized, the Government will make every effort to vaccinate all workers in high-risk industrial parks by August 2021 to ensure the stable development of the economy.
