Accordingly, the local government has set tasks and measures for Covid-19 prevention in 2023, focusing on strengthening quarantine at Noi Bai International Airport; fostering surveillance and early detection of suspected cases of XBB.1.5 variant in residential areas, offices, factories, and enterprises.
The city will update relevant information and keep a close watch on the variant's evolution in the world; fully and promptly administering booster doses of Covid-19 vaccines in line with the health ministry's guidance.
The municipal Health Department is in charge of instructing relevant units to conduct pandemic prevention and control and supporting districts to synchronously and effectively implement Covid-19 prevention and control activities. It also coordinates with local authorities to administer booster shots of Covid-19 vaccines for high-risk groups in accordance with the health ministry's guidance.
So far, the Covid-19 situation in the world remained complicated but the situation in Vietnam has been brought under control. The number of coronavirus-infected patients has decreased dramatically from early March 2022 until now thanks to fast vaccination campaigns.
