on March 30 emphasised the importance of
grassroots healthcare in the of COVID-19 infection cases in the
community to curb the spread of the pandemic.
Tuyen, who is standing deputy head of the National Steering
Committee on Prevention and Control, said at an online conference with health departments of cities and provinces nationwide that Vietnam has entered the
third phase of the COVID-19 fight with high risks of community spread.
Therefore, the grassroots healthcare network must focus on
solving two issues: detecting infection cases in the community early and
minimising community spread, he stated.
He also stressed that plays a crucial
role, contributing to the success of the fight against the pandemic.
As of 6.00am on March 30, Vietnam recorded 194 infection
cases, with 52 having completely recovered.
Tuyen said that 70 percent of the infection cases came from
outside Vietnam, while there are two big infection sources inside the country at
present, which are the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi and Buddha Bar in Ho Chi Minh
City.
Hospital, where there are several groups of potential infections such as patients
receiving treatment, medical workers engaged in treatment, medical trainees at
the hospital, caretakers of patients, and service staff at the hospital.
Those people need to be detected and monitored
closely to prevent the disease from spreading in the community, Tuyen added./.
