Deputy Minister calls for strict punitive measures against border jumpers

March 28, 2021 by sggpnews.org.vn

Sr. Lt. Trinh Quoc Giao at Moc Bai border checkpoint said the checkpoint allows entry to 20 Vietnamese citizens each day on average. People entering will have their ID and temperature checked and droplet sample taken, then taken to quarantine following regulations. Plus, cargos can only go out of the country and no foreign freight vehicle is allowed entry.
Exported cargo is exchanged when a freight truck arrives at the zero-milestone marker where a driver from the destination country takes over the vehicle, or the container gets unloaded by a crane.  The switch is done without any body contact between the drivers. Upon its return to Vietnam, the truck will be disinfected and the driver’s protective gears disposed of.
Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen said that during the field inspection in Tay Ninh, he saw that the province was being creative in inventing this method of handing over cargos. Epidemic prevention works would definitely benefit if other localities do the same.
At Moc Bai checkpoint, the delegation also visited the K71 collective quarantine area.
According to Dr. Nguyen Van Cuong, Deputy Director of the Tay Ninh province Department of Health, people in quarantine must undergo 3 Covid tests instead of the usual 2.  The province can currently run tests on 250 samples per day, but plans to reach 1,000 samples soon. Dr. Cuong also said the Ministry of Health had assigned 400 doses of Covid-19 vaccine to Tay Ninh.
On border entry, Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong said Tay Ninh has a 240 km long border with Cambodia, with 16 border stations but many unchecked walking routes.
Tay Ninh is where HCMC meets Cambodia and other ASEAN countries through the Moc Bai border station. The province plays a huge role in pandemic prevention, especially in quarantine works and preventing illicit entry.
Dr. Cuong added that the province currently has 642 people in medical facilities for collective quarantine.
Lately, there has been a surge of illegal border jumping in Tay Ninh into HCMC. From January 2020 to March 2021, law enforcers have arrested 576 people in 328 cases.
After the reports from Tay Ninh authorities, Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen said: “Our borders with neighboring countries are long, and there have been multiple Covid cases in the local community, creating risks of infection. Therefore, we must enforce strict border control to help with epidemic prevention.”
Firstly, he prompted relevant sides to have border patrols coordinate with the police and local authorities to guard the border, especially locations without fences. But, guarded areas might also allow illegal entry into Vietnam if they are not careful.
Secondly, competent agencies should severely punish groups and individuals that shelter border jumpers, and use those cases as a deterrent to similar crimes.
Thirdly, they must raise awareness on the matter so that people would give up any ill-intent and follow quarantine procedures at the border checkpoint.
Fourthly, citizens and community watch groups should be encouraged to report illicit border jumpers that have bypassed local authorities to avoid spreading Covid-19 within communities.

Deputy Minister of Health: Vaccine passport implementation must be done carefully

April 2, 2021 by vietnamnet.vn

The deployment of vaccine passport will not be simple and must be carefully done step by step, said Deputy Minister of Health Truong Quoc Cuong at a cabinet press conference on March 31.

Cuong said this issue is being studied and discussed in many countries. The Ministry of Health is coordinating with other agencies to study and will report to the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control and to the Government about measures to ensure safety and prevention of epidemics for people, while enabling the opening of the economy by resuming international flights and travel.

“The ministry is working on a plan, first of all, an appropriate quarantine plan for people entering Vietnam who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19,” Cuong said.

“The Ministry of Health is also preparing scenarios and plans for the use of vaccine passports for the future. These are the options we are discussing very carefully because there must be a balance between benefits and risks,” he added.

“The benefit is opening up the door for economic growth but the risk is that our people can be infected with disease. This is not an easy task and it must be done step by step,” the health official stressed.

During the regular government meeting on March 31, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked the health, tourism and diplomacy sectors to study and issue a mechanism for vaccine passports in order to promote trade and investment. The health sector was told to submit a plan for this matter as soon as possible.

According to information at the meeting of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention on March 19, the “vaccine passport” allows residents to keep track of their own or other members’ immunization history, with vaccination certification and QR-Code to verify their vaccination.

Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long said that from the perspective of the health sector’s approach, the “vaccine passport” is essentially a certificate showing that a person is fully vaccinated against Covid-19, with two doses of vaccine. With this certificate or “passport”, the passport holders are free from quarantine or a Covid-19 test.

Vietnam is working with countries on the acceptance of the “vaccine passport” through the use of a QR-code. This approach is based on two basic data: health insurance card number or identity card/citizenship card. Upon arrival, people only need to provide personal information to be checked on the system.

PM approves additional $53.63 million for COVID-19 vaccine purchase

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has signed a decision on the allocation of more expense to purchase COVID-19 vaccines and conduct inoculations.

Under the decision, the PM decided to allocate 1,237 billion VND (around 53.63 million USD) from the central budget’s standby fund in 2021 to supplement the Ministry of Health’s state budget spending estimate to buy COVID-19 vaccines and carry out vaccinations.

PM Phuc assigned the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Health to hold responsible for the accuracy of reported contents and data.

The Ministry of Health was asked to purchase COVID-19 vaccines in line with regulations and in a timely, effective, economical, open and transparent manner.

The government leader also requested the Ministry of Health to build and submit to competent agencies for approval an overall plan on COVID-19 prevention and control in 2021, including the detailed plan on the purchase and use of 150 million doses of vaccines./. VNA
