Provincial Party Committee Secretary meets, encourages and offers gifts to F0 cases and people who are under isolation and treatment at home with the support of the mobile medical station.

Provincial Party Committee Secretary noted that for areas where new Covid-19 outbreaks have occurred, it is necessary for localities to quickly conduct epidemiological investigation to identify F1 cases for on-site quarantine while conducting Covid-19 testing to detect F0 cases. Emphasizing that this is an important stage in the local fight against the pandemic, transitioning from pandemic prevention and control to the "new normal" phase, provincial Party Committee Secretary said that the province's pandemic prevention and control will be implemented under the motto of "fighting  the pandemic right in quarters, hamlets" in the spirit that relevant forces will be sent to where there are F0 cases for on-site Covid-19 prevention, control and treatment. Therefore, mobile medical stations will uphold results in the local Covid-19 prevention and control in the coming time.

Provincial Party Committee Secretary and members of the delegation also met and visited forces at Phu Cuong ward’s mobile health station located in quarter 1 to monitor, treat 48 F0 cases and supervise the observance of regulations on medical quarantine for people in the area. Provincial Party Committee Secretary wanted that relevant forces will further make efforts to overcome difficulties and promote their sense of responsibility to take good care of people's health.

Provincial Party Committee Secretary emphasized that one of the local mobile medical stations’ key tasks is to focus on well doing management and treatment of F0 cases. They must ensure good management of recovered F0 cases that need to further perform home isolation under prescribed time. In the coming time, the number of mobile medical stations in the province is expected to be multiplied to 150 to bring healthcare closer to people, ensuring  public healthcare, meeting  requirements of Covid-19 prevention-control and treatment for Covid-19 patients being isolated and treated at their place of residence. Home isolation and treatment will be a normal activity when the province returns to its “new normal” state.
