Government agencies have implemented the modes of "three on spot" and “one route, two destinations" with only a quarter of employees who can work at the office. If social distancing measures will be lifted in a gradual manner, State agencies must also arrange work based on their plans and the number of employees as well as ensure minimal contact between workers
Agencies and offices of the administrative state in the city should be simultaneously reopened to reduce the amount of work for officials, said PhD Huynh Thanh Dien.
Additionally, the city plans to reach the goal of single-dose vaccination strategy for people aged 18 and above in all districts by September 15 and apply the “Green Pass” showing that people have been vaccinated and tested negative throughout the city. If the city gradually eases social distancing rules, the competent units should enhance the unexpected inspection of Covid-19 prevention and control activities to moderate the amount of unnecessary works for departments. Officials of State agencies and employees of businesses have to be vaccinated for Covid-19, he added.
