As of May 19, the whole province of Hai Duong has recorded 12 cases of COVID-19 spread in 5 out of 12 districts, cities and towns. Although no deaths have been recorded, the health sector believes that the actual number of cases may be higher because many people are subjective and do not report when there are mild symptoms.
The Department of Health of Hai Duong province requires the Provincial Center for Disease Control to continue to increase propaganda and recommend people to strictly implement 2K - masks and disinfection, especially in public places such as hospitals, bus stations, public transport... Information on epidemics and prevention instructions will be updated regularly for people to grasp and proactively prevent epidemics.
The Department of Health of Hai Duong province also requested medical examination and treatment facilities to review plans for admission and treatment of people with COVID-19 according to the scenario, not to be passive. At the same time, fully prepare isolation areas, medical equipment and teams to be ready to respond if the epidemic is complicated.
In particular, units need to strictly implement cross-infection prevention and safety protection for patients in high-risk groups such as the elderly, people with underlying diseases, and serious illnesses. Environmental sanitation and reasonable department arrangement are also emphasized.
In addition, the health sector will strengthen the investigation and supervision of suspected cases, taking samples for testing to detect pathogens early. The goal is to control the epidemic early, remotely, not allowing it to spread widely.
