Hanoi has gone through 150 consecutive days without new local
transmissions, adding that districts and communes enhanced inspection and
punished those who violated regulations on pandemic prevention and control, Deputy
Director of the municipal Health Department Hoang Duc Hanh said.
Vice Commander of the Hanoi Capital High Command Maj. Gen.
Do Thai Son expressed his
concern over the complicated developments of illegal entries into the country
in recent times, asking the city to direct units to thoroughly review concentrated
quarantine facilities and strictly comply with regulations in the regard.
The Vietnam
Fatherland Front chapters, mass organisations and residential areas were also urged
to promptly discover illegal entries as the Lunar New Year is drawing near.
Concluding
the event, Dung warned of
the high risk of the virus resurgence in the community. He reminded districts, communes,
townships to raise public awareness of prevention and control measures as
recommended by the Health Ministry.
He simultaneously
