According to the Ministry of Health, the current global infectious disease situation is forecast to continue to be unpredictable. The COVID-19 epidemic is still an international public health emergency, with the potential risk of outbreaks with new variants, especially when countries relax epidemic prevention and control measures and implement open-door policies to develop socio-economy, trade and tourism.
In the country, the COVID-19 epidemic and other infectious diseases are still basically under control, however, the risk of infiltration and spread of pathogens is always latent, especially in the context of increased demand for trade and tourism; at the same time, some infectious diseases such as hand, foot and mouth disease, dengue fever... infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccines are also at risk of increasing in number.
