Currently, the prevention and control of epidemics has been paid special attention by the Provincial Steering Committee for Covid-19 Disease Prevention and Control, closely directed with the spirit of urgency and drastic. The Provincial Steering Committee has correctly identified the objectives and strategies for epidemic prevention and control suitable to each locality and each specific time; especially the strategy to promote testing, screening and vaccination in 5 localities in the "red zones" in order to control, attack, screen and clean the "red zones", gradually expanding the "green zones" and making the "red zones" green.

Up to now, the province has basically controlled and protected the "green zones"; step by step zoning and screening each area in the "red zones" to detect and separate all F0 and F1 from the community. At the same time, promote the implementation of rapid vaccination, the right people and procedures and regulations.

In particular, the second-level patients should be paid attention to in the treatment of diseases, because this is the treatment level for diseases with symptoms and cases of severe change.

In addition, localities need to develop specific vaccination plans, pay attention to the frontline force, focusing on "red zone" localities; speed up vaccination. At the same time, there is a need for urgency and specific calculation in taking care of people's lives, especially in difficult situations during the epidemic season.

At this time, the whole political system needs to always be in a spirit of urgency and take drastic action because the time is very short to complete the goal of controlling the epidemic before September 1, 2021 according to Resolution No. 86/ NQ-CP dated August 6, 2021 of the Government.
He requested that the whole province needed to focus all efforts on implementing "three attacking fronts": testing, screening, tracing and classifying F0 from the community; strictly implement Directive 16/CT-TTg and vaccine strategy during this time.

Localities need to promote "four on the site", "internal resources are decisive, external forces are important", prioritize the use of local forces; districts in the "green zones" need to pay attention to support the "red zones". Localities need to be flexible in implementing epidemic prevention and control measures. When there is a shortage of supplies and equipment, there is a quick proposal for the province to promptly support.

Especially, during this time, it is necessary to implement social distancing according to Directive 16/CT-TTg with the utmost seriousness; ensure the correct implementation of the principle of "people stays where they are", resolutely not to let the situation of "tight outside, loose inside".

At the same time, continue to focus on investing, procuring and supplementing medical equipment and supplies and mobilizing human resources to ensure the good implementation of the isolation, treatment, care and treatment of Covid-19 patients according to a 3-level treatment tower to minimize the mortality rate, etc./.
