The move aims to suppress COVID-19 transmission
in Ha Noi as the city recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Viet Nam.
Accordingly, the Director of the Health Department, the Director of the Ha Noi Center for Disease Control, and Chairpersons of
districts and communes were asked to direct their inferiors to conduct the tests at
grass-root levels
.
Earlier, Deputy Director of the Ha Noi Center for Disease Control Khong Minh Tuan reported that on April 4, mobile testing stations conducted 1,782 tests.
If a positive case is discovered, the patient will be immediately taken to a nearby built-up room to undergo a
