City (VNA) – The Department of Information and Communications
on May 5 launched an application that will help assess
.
The app is available on the website and
is expected to be in app stores on Android and iOS soon.
It will also help the Steering Board for COVID-19 Prevention and
Control and relevant agencies monitor the situation.
The city has issued safety criteria for businesses in the fields
of tourism, transport, food services, education, trading markets,
supermarkets, and commercial centres. Other criteria for museums, relics,
libraries, and sport service establishments have also been issued.
The city’s fundraising board for COVID-19 prevention and control has received
more than 153 billion VND (6.5 million USD) in donations
from companies and individuals since March 20 when the fund
was launched by the Committee in HCM City.
As
of May 4, the city had 88 people under quarantine in its concentrated areas,
while 103 are self-quarantined at home.
Of the
11 patients being treated at hospitals, nine who previously recovered
and were discharged from hospitals tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 again.
To deal with this problem, the municipal Health
Department decided to extend quarantine duration for cured COVID-19 patients as
from May 5. Accordingly, recovered patients will be quarantined at medical
establishments for 14 days from the day they are given the all-clear. Those who
do not stay there will be monitored at home by district health centres./.
