The move came after the city announced a community-transmission case of COVID-19
earlier the same day.
The 26-year-old patient, working as a receptionist at Hai Phong city’s Hospital
of Transport, was detected through mass screening and confirmed by the Hai Phong
Medical University Hospital and the city’s Preventive Medicine Centre.
Areas relating to the patient’s travel records will be isolated while Loi Dong
hamlet, Hoang Dong commune, Thuy Nguyen district where the patient lives and Hai
Phong city’s Hospital of Transport where she works have been locked down.
The hospital has stopped receiving patients and is making a list of medical
workers, patients and their relatives for quarantine.
The city’s authorities also asked for temporary suspension of some non-essential
activities in the city.
Vice chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Khac Nam said the city
needed to raise COVID-19 prevention and control to a higher level and proposed
the city to temporarily cancel the operation of golf courses, dental clinics and
massage centres.
Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Van Tung said COVID-19
prevention and control stations of the city and districts still could not
supervise all people who come to or leave the city. Therefore, he proposed to
apply the strongest measures in COVID-19 prevention and control following
Government Directives No 15 and 16 and strictly punish violators.
The People’s Committee February 22 would issue decisions to put some areas under
lockdown following COVID-19 prevention and control regulations, according to
Tung.
Le Van Thanh, Secretary of the municipal Party Committee and Chairman of the
municipal People’s Council, said it was essential to focus on reviewing and
isolating areas relating to the patient’s travel, promptly tracking down and
identifying people who were in close contact with the patient.
