Medical workers conduct tests (Source: VNA)marking twelve days straight without any domestic infections in the community.
By
6:00 on April 28 morning, Vietnam has had 130 infected cases of people arriving
in the country from abroad, with all of them being quarantined straight away.
In
total, there have been 270 cases all together, with 222 people making a full
recovery.
Eight people who previously tested negative have since tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2, and back in treatment.
The
total number of people quarantined nationwide stands at 45,466, of which 323
are at hospitals, 8,459 are at other medical facilities and the remainder
at home.
Meanwhile,
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has issued new instructions concerning
spending, warning people there will be serious consequences if anyone violates
public funds set aside to fight COVID-19.
He
has asked the Ministry of Health and local people’s committees to urgently
review, adjust, re-evaluate and inspect the implementation of bidding packages
for the purchases of medical equipment, consumable supplies and medicines used
to prevent and control the virus.
The
request is especially focused on bidding packages for procurement of
biochemical testing kits, ventilators, medical masks and single-use medical
supplies like needles and gloves.
If
there are any signs of irregularities, all dossiers and documents must be
transferred to the investigation agencies and will be seriously analysed
according to public law.
The
instructions were issued following the proposal by the Ministry of Public
Security.
Last
week six officials, including with the director of the Hanoi Centre for Disease
Control, were detained for alleged wrongdoings in purchasing
diagnostic equipment./.
