Currently, localities have changed the criteria for assessing the level of epidemic on the infection level and ability to respond. In particular, the infection level has 2 indicators, namely the rate of new infection cases per week per 100,000 population and the average rate of patients requiring oxygen per 100,000 population. Eligibility criteria are determined through the rate of willingness to manage and care for F0; Percentage of hospital beds available for COVID-19 patients and the proportion of ICU beds with enough medical staff per 100,000 population. The ability to respond to epidemic situations is determined at three levels of high, medium and low. All 91 communes, wards and townships in the province have been self-assessed with ability to respond to epidemic situations.
