ministries, agencies, and localities to take more drastic action to drive back
the pandemic in northern Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces while ensuring production
and trade are not disrupted.
During an online meeting on May 26 with leaders of the two
provinces, where the pandemic is spreading in industrial parks (IPs), the PM
directed agencies to work with and Bac Giang to increase testing capacity,
especially in quarantined areas, use technology, as requested by the Ministry of
Information and Communications, seriously follow the “5K vaccine” message, and
tighten exits and entries.
He asked for the upgrading of infrastructure and treatment capacity and
the provision of more medical supplies for the two provinces to cope with the
pandemic, particularly vaccines, and the consideration of quarantine for “F1”
cases in households, factories, and enterprises.
The PM reminded ministries and agencies to work closely together to build
the COVID-19 response fund, step up access to vaccines for the vaccination
rollout, tighten the management of entries, exits and residency, outline safe
and effective production, trade, and goods transportation procedures, and
tackle difficulties in financial procedures to support residents and businesses
hit by the pandemic.
Participants suggested imposing lockdowns and social distancing measures
in more areas in the two provinces, closely monitoring quarantine, accelerating
testing on a large scale, and prioritising vaccinations for workers in local
IPs./.
