Ms. Le Hong Nga, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control, said: “Although the Omicron XEC strain is not a new variant and is classified as low-risk by the World Health Organization (WHO), we should not be subjective in the face of unpredictable developments of the epidemic, especially in the context of strong recovery of international trade and travel.”
In this situation, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has directed all medical examination and treatment facilities to raise the warning level, proactively review and update the Covid-19 admission and treatment plan; ensure adequate human resources, medicines, and equipment for treatment; strengthen infection control and protect high-risk groups.
The health sector calls on people to continue to maintain basic epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks, washing hands regularly, self-isolating when having suspected symptoms and going to medical facilities when necessary. At the same time, it is necessary to closely monitor information from authorities to avoid being confused by false rumors.
