Of these 28,000 F0 cases, 602 were sampled at health facilities, 2,488 were sampled in quarantine areas, 22,664 were sampled in the lockdown areas, and 2,246 were sampled for community screening from July 10, 2021 to November 03, 2021. Up to now, these F0 cases have recovered.
Explaining this addition of 28,000 F0 cases, Mr. Nguyen Hong Chuong - Director of the Department of Health said that during the 4th Covid-19 wave, as of November 22, 2021, Binh Duong province has recorded more than 245,321 Covid-19 cases. In particular, during the peak of pandemic wave, Binh Duong province organized many large-scale screening tests to separate F0 from the community by rapid test, then quarantine, treatment and RT-PCR testing, with a very large number of daily infections (over 4000 cases/day). At the same time, there were many units participating in supporting RT-PCR testing (such as: Bionet, Viet Nga, Viet A and Covid-19 treatment facilities), however, because the epidemiological information of people infected with Covid-19 sent to Binh Duong Center for Disease Control was incomplete and not timely, it was not possible to announce these cases of Covid-19 as prescribed in the daily pandemic news of the Ministry of Health.
Mr. Chuong also said that, if approved, the Ministry of Health will announce these 28,000 additional cases in the news at 19:00 today (November 23, 2021).
