“This is a key preventive measure at present; if the city reports one single case, it will have a significant bad impact on socio-economic development,” said Deputy Chairman of the city People’s Committee Ngo Van Quy during an online meeting on the pandemic prevention with districts on November 4.
According to Mr. Quy, the city has decided to set up 5 delegations to inspect pandemic prevention across 30 localities.
During the meeting, Deputy Head of the city Department of Health Hoang Duc Hanh noted that over the past week, Hanoi reported one COVID-19 case who is an Israeli expert returning from Qatar. The patient is being treated at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases.
Notably, during his isolation in a hotel in Hanoi, 2 hotel staff had close contact with him and became his F1. They were then tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 virus and are now being monitored at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases.
Deputy Chairman Quy also stressed the need to strictly manage immigrated persons./.
