Hanoi asked to work out home isolation plan for F1 cases

VOV.VN - Hanoi has been advised to prepare a plan aimed at allowing F1 cases to isolate at home, with the number of COVID-19 cases being detected across the capital increasing every day, according to experts.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Dac Phu, senior advisor at the Public Health Emergency Operations Centre under the Health Ministry, emphazised that Hanoi remains a high-risk area with positive cases being detected through screening among the local community.

He noted that the capital has been advised to strictly implement a range of social distancing measures in line with the Prime Minister’s Directive 16, whilst continuing to abide by 5K message set out by the Ministry of Health (MoH).

Due to the highly-contagious Delta variant likely spreading widely among the community, residents are therefore required to stay at home and only go out for essential necessities, as advised by leading experts.

Dr. Tran Dac Phu stated that Hanoi should outline scenarios for quarantine and treatment facilities in the event that the number of infected cases increases sharply.

He went on to emphasise that the pilot plan which sees F1 cases isolated at home is necessary due to the number of cases set to rise among the community in the near future, adding that contact tracing represents an important measure to isolate F0 cases and take them out of the community.

Phu also underscored the importance of speeding up the vaccination process, but also avoiding large gatherings to curb the spread of the virus.
