Hanoi determined to quickly contain COVID-19

During a meeting in Hanoi on February 2, Hue asked agencies
and units to consider the fight against the pandemic as the leading and urgent
task before, during and after the Tet (Lunar New Year) festival while
maintaining production and trade.

He requested reviewing the efficiency of combating the
pandemic from residential areas, villages to the city, and working with units
concerned to improve testing capacity.

Hue asked for tracing F1 and F2 cases more quickly, raising
public awareness of 5K principles and strictly punishing violators of prevention
and control regulations.

The municipal Steering Committee on Prevention and
Control was assigned to zone off affected and high-risk areas on a larger
scale, conduct testing for those coming from -hit areas and quarantine
sites before February 4.

He said vaccination for all Hanoi residents will be reported
to the standing board of the municipal Party Committee.

Five inspection groups were urged to enhance inspection at
high-risk areas such as industrial zones and schools.

The municipal People’s Committee directed units concerned to
calculate demand for necessities in the city, increase online trade activities,
and promptly publicise information related to the pandemic.

Hanoi has so far recorded 20 cases positive to coronavirus
SARS-CoV-2 related to outbreaks in Quang Ninh and Hai Duong./.
