The Ministry of Health had to make the above announcement because information on social networks was widespread that Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan said that single people would be punished.
What is the truth?
Previously, on August 13, 2024, Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan issued Official Dispatch No. 4737/BYT-VPB1 on responding to petitions from Ho Chi Minh City voters before the 7th Session, 15th National Assembly, in There is content that voters request "to take specific measures to increase the birth rate in urban areas...".
This is a content related to population, which is posed very seriously, in order to firmly maintain the replacement fertility rate, ensure a reasonable population growth rate and structure of the working-age population, contributing to sustainable population growth.
Focus on encouraging young men and women not to marry late, not to have children late, for each couple to have 2 children and raise them well. There are no documents or statements from the Ministry of Health regarding sanctions on single people.
But many social networking sites turn it into "punishing single people", fabricating more things to cause confusion. Many people share, get views, and get likes with very negative comments.
This is not the first time fake news has appeared or intentionally distorted an individual's statement, causing misunderstanding or misunderstanding of the nature of the problem.
Similarly, on social networks , information appeared that when going for a massage in Hue, you must present your citizen identification card . The news spread, many people did not need to verify, shared and commented in all kinds of ways, criticizing heavily.
On August 28, talking to Lao Dong reporters, Hue City Police said that there are no regulations on massage establishments requiring residents and tourists to fill in CCCD numbers.
Ms. Vo Thi Anh Thu - Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Phu Hoi Ward, Hue City - affirmed that the ward does not have any policies or regulations that require massage customers to fill in the CCCD number as posted on social networks.
The local government does not have regulations that massage establishments require customers to fill in their CCCD number, that is the most obvious answer.
This false belief not only leads to mixed opinions, protesting against the unruly management of the local government, but also affects the local tourism attraction.
