Hanoi (VNA) – The has
recommended not conducting for fully vaccinated
people who received the last shot at least 14 days but not more than 12 months, or former patients who have recovered from the disease within six
months.

The recommendation was made as part of an urgent document
sent by the ministry to governmental agencies, sectors, provinces and centrally run cities regarding COVID-19 testing direction for business and production
facilities.

To strengthen pandemic prevention and control and facilitate
business and production activities in the new context, the ministry proposed conducting
screening testing for all cases of employees with suspected symptoms such
as cough, fever, and shortness of breath, and those with related
epidemiological factors.

For enterprises in high-risk provinces and cities, real time RT–PCR or rapid antigen tests are required every week for 20 percent of high-risk workers and all direct service providers to the facilities. 

For those in risky localities, real time RT–PCR or rapid antigen tests are required at least
twice a week for at least 5-10 percent of high-risk workers and all direct service
providers to the facilities.
 
Testing results should be immediately reported to the local medical stations.

Production and business establishments are solely
responsible for the quality of antigen tests, testing procedures, and results,
stressed the ministry./.
