This information was among the important contents shared by Dinh Tien Dung, Politburo member and Secretary of the Party Committee of Hanoi, at a press conference on July 22 on solutions to prevent and control the epidemic in Hanoi in the coming time.

Politburo member Dinh Tien Dung asked the whole political system of the city to focus on epidemic prevention and control, identifying Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control as the number one priority task. The health and safety of people's lives comes first. It is necessary to determine to protect the capital from bad developments, protect the safety of central agencies, industrial parks, medical facilities, individuals, agencies, families, alleys, residential areas, villages and residential groups in the area.

He emphasised that Party secretaries and chairpersons of People's Committees at all levels must effectively, comprehensively and synchronously direct measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic, focusing on three key tasks.

The Secretary of the Party Committee of Hanoi suggested that all levels and branches continue to strictly control all routes into the city; strictly maintain the current 22 quarantine checkpoints and those established by the localities to ensure sufficient forces 24 hours a day, seven days a week; and control 100% of people and vehicles entering the city.

Accordingly, instead of the scenario of arranging 5,000 beds for the current treatment of F0, it is necessary to prepare a plan to arrange 10,000 beds, 20,000 beds, and, if needed, even increasing further.

Accompanying each scenario must ensure adequate preparation of facilities and people; have plans to reserve or mobilise correspondingly, so as not to be short of hospital beds, ventilators, medicines, doctors, and nurses.

* In order to create favourable conditions for vehicles to move into the capital and pass through the quarantine checkpoints as quickly as possible, the Hanoi Police Department has provided detailed instructions to the people.

Accordingly, when traveling by personal means, people need to prepare the following documents: citizen identification; documents: negative test for Covid-19 from within the 72 hours prior, certificate of vaccination, decision on the expiration of the quarantine period (if any); and fill in all information on the voluntary medical declaration form for people moving into Hanoi (download the form on the Hanoi Police Portal). Multiple people traveling in the same car can make their declarations on the same form.
