Yen Phong District, Bac Ninh Province is home to numerous large enterprises with approximately 100,000 workers. In recent days, new positive cases have continuously emerged in the area.
As of May 29, the district had recorded 32 COVID-19 cases. Under the direction of the Department of Health, a volunteer working delegation from Hanoi Medical University Hospital, in coordination with the Yen Phong District Health Center in Bac Ninh Province, organized 4 mobile sample collection sites at Tam Giang Secondary School, Vong Nguyet Village Cultural House, Nhu Nguyet Village Cultural House, and the auxiliary house of Nhu Nguyet village communal house in Tam Giang Commune.
Dr. Ngo Van Thao, Specialist Level I, Deputy Director of the Yen Phong District Health Center, stated that given the complex and unpredictable developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, local health authorities are focusing on testing to screen and detect cases early, prioritizing densely populated areas to promptly conduct contact tracing and rapid containment.
In Tam Giang Commune alone, 3 community-acquired COVID-19 cases were recorded over the two days of May 27 and 28.
"Thanks to the reinforcement and deployment of 50 faculty members and students from Hanoi Medical University, we are striving to collect all 3,300 samples today to promptly trace and quarantine if new cases are detected," Mr. Ngo Van Thao said.
The target groups for testing include high-risk individuals such as market traders, residents living in apartment complexes and boarding houses, alongside randomly selected groups of people who frequently travel and have extensive contact. Yen Phong District has established safe COVID-19 teams within industrial zones to regularly monitor, supervise, and raise awareness among workers regarding self-protection and COVID-19 prevention measures./.
