Active supervision

Up to this point, Binh Duong has basically completed the investigation and verification of thousands of cases of passengers traveling on flights with Covid-19 infected people announced by the Ministry of Health or cases related to the outbreak at Da Nang City, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai.

From the beginning of the epidemic season to August 19, the whole province had 1,709 suspected cases to be sampled, of which 1,115 cases were sampled for 2 tests.

Statistics from the beginning of the epidemic season up to now, Binh Duong has basically completed the investigation and verified thousands of cases of passengers traveling on flights with Covid-19 infected people notified by the Ministry of Health or people returning to Binh. Duong from countries and provinces has epidemic. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Danh, Director of the Provincial Center for Disease Control, said: “The success of the investigation and verification is the unanimous coordination of branches, localities and each person in the province to contribute to the anti-Covid-19. Currently, the center is still actively coordinating with relevant units to investigate epidemiology, take samples to test suspected cases, contact positive cases discovered in Vietnam to proactively freeze. area, control infection”

To promote the role of medical officials and party members

Joining hands to prevent epidemics, many medical officials and party members are not afraid of difficulties and dangers to actively and effectively participate in epidemic prevention to protect people's health. In particular, officials and party members who are in charge of epidemiological investigations and warfare in isolated areas that concentrate monthly do not return to their families to focus their energies on investigating and verifying suspected cases. They are really fighters on the plague front.

Typically, Dr. Nguyen Duc Tho, working at the Medical Center of Ben Cat Town, is the person who is on duty to monitor and take care of the health of the suspected infected person in the isolated concentrated social housing Becamex - My Phuoc. For many days, Dr. Tho did not go home and had to be on duty in the isolation ward. Every day, Dr. Tho met each person, examined, examined and monitored the health of isolated cases, strictly followed regulations, exercised to improve the body's resistance. To prevent and prevent the virus from getting on doorstep, floor, bedside, Dr. Tho and his colleagues actively cleaned and kept the environment in the isolated area clean. Not only directly monitoring the health of concentrated isolation cases, Dr. Tho is also a friend to share and motivate the isolated person to complete the task.

Mr. Pham Nguyen Tuan Vu, officer in charge of disease prevention, is another example. Regardless of day or night, the facility calls to find out that there is a case coming from the epidemic area, the high risk of disease is that Mr. Vu immediately goes to the facility to confirm the situation, proactively contacting and proposing industries. coordinated for definitive settlement, not to outbreak into epidemic. During the peak days, the hotline managed by Mr. Vu receives hundreds of calls related to the Covid-19 epidemic. Together with other medical staff, Mr. Vu's footsteps roam every street and houses, both grasping and verifying cases and propagating so that people can raise awareness in disease prevention.
