According to Head of the Private Economic Development Research Board Truong Gia Binh, the implementation of several anti-epidemic solutions has revealed inadequacies, causing many business and production activities to be paralyzed and pushing a series of enterprises into closure, thus resulting in a high risk of losing the market to rival countries.
Binh noted that many factories cannot meet the requirements of the "3 on the spot" production model and had to suspend production because they were unable to arrange facilities and conditions to serve thousands of workers.
In Southern provinces, there has been a breakdown of the “3 on-site” model in some factories with the consecutive detections of F0 cases and rapid spread in just a few days, Binh said.
He shared that the Board and business associations propose the application of “3 on the spot” model only in localities where the pandemic is under control. With high level of infection in Ho Chi Minh City and Southern provinces, the model will pose high risks on enterprises with high possibility of pandemic outbreaks.
They also proposed the Prime Minister review and apply uniform regulations on travel conditions for personnel specialising in import, export and logistics activities as well as shippers in cities to prevent the disruption and confusion of goods transport.
Chairman of Binh Duong Business Confederation Mai Huu Tin said that the procedures on supporting employers to borrow capital to pay wages for their workers also cause difficulties for enterprises, making the policy inaccessible to most enterprises.
CExperts also suggested the Government allow enterprises flexibly arrange overtime duration for their workers after the conclusion of social distancing period to deal with backlog tasks instead of the limit of 40 overtime hours per month.
