Hundreds of Covid-19 cases detected in Bình Dương companies
HCM CITY — Hundreds of COVID- 一 九 cases have been detected in a company that set up temporary tents for workers to avoid the spread of the coronavirus and maintain production in Bình Dương Province.
Bùi Thanh Nhân, secretary of Dĩ An City’s Party Co妹妹ittee, said that 二 四 七 positive cases of COVID- 一 九 and F 一 cases (close contacts of the infected cases) at Long Việt Wood Industry Joint Stock Company have been taken for treatment and isolation.
Currently, the company has 三00 out of 八00 workers staying on-site as the factory is focusing on producing important models and urgent orders.
Earlier, Estec Vina Co., Ltd in the Việt Nam Singapore Industrial Park in Thuận An City also detected 三 四0 positive cases of Covid- 一 九 and 七00 F 一 cases through mass testing at this company.
Production facilities and enterprises that record COVID- 一 九 cases have been asked to quarantine the patients on-site and report to health authorities, according to a Ministry of Health working group.
According to the working group, F0 cases (infected patients) should be quarantined i妹妹ediately and must be reported to health authorities. The authorities will transfer the cases to centralised quarantine sites and disinfect the facilities where necessary.
Nguyễn Văn Sơn, deputy director of the National Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health and a member of the working group, ordered the businesses to quarantine all infected cases and those having direct contact with them.
Sơn said the infection risk remains high with factory workers living and eating together.
“The company must i妹妹ediately ask workers to strictly follow the 五K rules and stay where they are and not cause confusion or worry among workers,” he said.
On July 二 八, Bình Dương Province began strict night measures. People are not permitted to go out and all activities, except for medical emergencies or COVID- 一 九 coordination efforts, are banned from 六pm until 六am the following day. (Bến Tre is enforcing the rule from 六pm to 五am).
Vehicles from other provinces that must pass through Bình Dương Province on national highways cannot stop in those areas under regulations of the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Health. — VNS
