Vietnam is well controlling nCoV-caused acute respiratory disease
31/1/20
Vietnam has set forth specific solutions to cope
with the acute respiratory disease caused by the
novel coronavirus (nCoV) and is well controlling it, Prime Minister
Nguyen Xuan Phuc said on January 30.
Speaking at a meeting between permanent Cabinet members and representatives of ministries and agencies in Hanoi, PM Phuc said the virus is rapidly sweeping over the world.
“We must stay calm and resolutely protect the public's health,” he said, urging localities and agencies to outline their own countermeasures.
The PM stressed the need to completely ban travelling via border-to-border trails and suspend the sending of Vietnamese labourers to China from which the deadly virus is originated.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should soon work with the Chinese side to bring Vietnamese workers in the country home, he said.
Tours to China, and vice versa, must also be banned, he said, adding that trading activities at border gates are not encouraged at this time.

PM Phuc asked the army, public security forces and
the health sector to closely supervise passengers going through border gates.
Those from China must be kept under quarantine within 15 days – the estimated incubation period of the new virus. Besides, wildlife trading – the source of transmission - must be completely prohibited, he said.
As Vietnam holds the ASEAN Chairmanship, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should raise voice to create high consensus in the grouping in the fight against the disease, the PM noted.
Local steering committees for prevention and control of nCoV would help improve the efficiency of the combat, he suggested.
The leader asked the media to consider the fight against nCoV a political task, and the Health Ministry to coordinate with the Ministry of Justice to make legal preparations once the World Health Organisation (WHO) announces the nCoV emergency status.
At the meeting, Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen reported that as of 15:20 on January 30, three people had tested positive for nCoV, raising the total cases in the country to five.
One of the three is being treated at the General Hospital of the central province of Thanh Hoa, while two are under treatment at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases. All are Vietnamese nationals and returned from China’s Wuhan city where the virus was first identified.
According to the Health Ministry, as of 12:00 the same day, 7,819 cases of nCoV infections had been confirmed in 19 countries and territories worldwide, with the death toll climbing to 170, including 162 in Wuhan.
In response to the PM’s directive, the Health Ministry has asked all provincial hospitals to set up emergency teams and map out countermeasures, while preparing medical equipment and medicines.
The ministry suggested establishing five working groups to inspect the prevention and control of nCoV in localities, focusing on areas at high risk of being affected by the disease./.

We need to direct the coordination between ministries, ministry-level and governmental agencies and bodies of the Party, Vietnam Fatherland Front and People’s Committees of centrally-run provinces and cities in mobilising resources to participate in and support the implementation of urgent plans launched by the Ministry of Health.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has decided to establish a national steering committee for prevention and control of the acute respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus.
Let's do our best to control it!
In its recent directive on the prevention and combat of the acute respiratory disease caused by the novel virus originated from China’s Wuhan province, the CAV ordered airlines to not conduct regular flights and require additional licences for flights from Vietnam to China’s affected regions.
Vietnam faces high risks of being affected by this dangerous and rapidly spreading disease, against which there hasn’t been a vaccine, since it is a popular destination of Chinese tourists and shares a long borderline with China.
We all should be careful of this disease to protect the people and promote people's rights.
The administration requested airports to step up inspection and coordinate with relevant agencies to carry out plans to prevent and cope with a possible virus outbreak.
The PM stressed the need to completely ban travelling via border-to-border trails and suspend the sending of Vietnamese labourers to China from which the deadly virus is originated.

Relevant agencies, sectors and localities must not be subjective or underestimate the disease so as to ensure the ultimate goal of protecting people’s health and lives, curb the virus from spreading on a large scale, and minimise deaths from this disease.
Fighting the nCoV-caused disease is like fighting an enemy!
The Government accepts economic losses to protect the lives and health of people. That shows the country's committment.
Some travel companies said under the epidemic’s impact, about 20 percent of the foreign tourists who booked tours of Hanoi have cancelled their trips, while some others are following the disease situation to make decisions.
Synchronous management measures should be devised to closely monitor health situation of Chinese tourists who are on their tours of Vietnam and their schedule.
Travel agencies, accommodation establishments and tourism services providers must do their best to ensure absolute safety for tourists and their tourism workers.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has assessed the public health risk of this virus to be very high in China, and high at the regional and global levels.
