These small but the benefit did not expect help prevent COVID-19

The epidemic situation in the surrounding countries is complicated, and there is a great risk of disease infiltration. Ho Chi Minh City held the peace for 73 days and was determined to continue to maintain this victory. This determination needs to be turned into action so that we continue to maintain peace and safety for economic development.

After a period of time we have controlled the epidemic, the subjective psychology has appeared. This is normal psychology, but don't forget that while COVID-19 is still there any subjectivity can come at a very high price. The lesson of subjectivity from the countries where COVID-19 is emerging is evident.

We are on the defensive, the border guards guard day and night to prevent illegal intrusions. No matter how tight the fence is, the danger of conceding is still there. Thus, the surest fortress is nowhere near but the actions of each of us.

The jobs are small but always bring great benefits

Remember the risk of disease is always present. So wherever you go, remember "the 5K message", of which the most important is wearing a mask. During the permanent meeting of the Steering Committee for Disease Control and Prevention, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong - Chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City emphasized the mandatory wearing of masks in public places, amusement parks, and vehicles. Public transfer, at medical facilities ... Local authorities will monitor and sanction violations.

The hand is where microorganisms attach and carry it into our bodies. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously disinfect, wash hands with clean water and soap or a quick antiseptic solution. All offices, units, schools, medical facilities, amusement parks, entertainment areas, public areas ... must arrange facilities for people to wash their hands.

Make hand washing a routine for preventing not only COVID-19 but many other infectious diseases as well. When your hand has not been washed, remember not to bring it to your eyes, nose, or mouth.

We are going to have a long holiday, so please consider it carefully before attending festivals. If you join, try to secure 5K.

It is important to note that if there are symptoms of a respiratory illness, it is necessary to go to a medical facility for examination and treatment. Absolutely do not go to public places, crowded places, and must strictly observe wearing masks when going to medical facilities.

The COVID-19 vaccine was the last fighter to join the 5K corps, and its benefits always outweigh the risks. With a limited supply of vaccines, in the spirit of not wasting any vaccines, the city is speeding up vaccination. Safety in vaccination is always a top priority.

Always be alert, be prepared for any situation
Local authorities and people should always be vigilant, strengthen supervision and detect illegal entries. The city will strictly handle the cases of illegal entry, cases of abetting or not declaring when detected.

If an epidemic is invading, the vital problem is to detect it as early as possible. Therefore, the monitoring of at-risk areas (inter-provincial bus stations, airports, motels, markets ...) at-risk people (people entering, people after isolation ...) continues to be implemented. Ho Chi Minh City continues to implement the monitoring and early detection of clusters of respiratory diseases in the residential community, taking samples to test cases with suspected symptoms of respiratory diseases when visiting at medical facilities. So if you have respiratory disease, wear a mask and go to your doctor.

The health sector has prepared health options to respond to possible epidemic scenarios including worst. The districts are concentrated in the city planned to be ready for expansion when needed.

At present, we are always on a high level of vigilance, ready to respond to any situation that occurs. If an outbreak occurs, calmly follow the instructions of the Health Industry.
