An additional 6,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine will be used to inject airport workers with the aim to prevent them from contracting the disease; therefore, it helps to increase protection for all workers in Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
According to the dispatch, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Defense were proposed bringing Vietnamese citizens to suitable centralized quarantine facilities in a bid to increase the effectiveness of pandemic prevention and control, to ensure the socio-economic activities in HCMC and the maximum safety in centralized facilities as well as to prevent cross-infections in centralized quarantine areas.
Specifically, HCMC proposes to receive a maximum of 350 beds for each quarantine session in the military centralized facilities because staffs would be sent to paid centralized quarantine at tourist accommodations with 4,000 beds for supervision and management.
According to the People's Committee of HCMC, the military currently has set up two centralized facilities with a total capacity of 378 beds for Vietnamese citizens returning to the country on rescue flights.
