By the afternoon of January 28, 34 cases of contact with Ms. N. had been identified, including 9 cases of F2, 25 cases of F3. Currently, Nghe An Center for Disease Control has collected samples for testing 9 F2 cases, monitored, monitored, and instructed to isolate these cases at home.

Immediately after receiving information about the COVID-19 epidemic in Quang Ninh and Hai Duong provinces, Nam Dinh Province's Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control has multi-functional branches and localities. proved, there are 5 cases of direct contact with COVID-19 patients, in which 2 cases have not yet returned to the local area; The three cases were isolated in a centralized medical facility.

Cases include: TVA (SN 1984) currently resides in Cua Nam ward, works at Tam Thuy electronics store, number 258, Tran Hung Dao street (Nam Dinh city) is being isolated at the Medical Center Nam Dinh street bar; NVTr (SN 1994) is far from Hai Loc (Hai Hau) and NVC (SN 1989) is far from Hai Phuong (Hai Hau) 2 cases are now isolated at Hai Hau General Hospital.

Thus, after 55 days there were no new cases in the community, Vietnam had 93 more patients in many provinces and cities across the country. This is considered the largest outbreak detected in the community so far.

In addition, the Ministry of Health has issued an urgent notice to find people to 31 locations in Hai Duong, Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, and Hanoi due to people with Covid-19. This agency has sent a force of about 1,000 people from many fields to Hai Duong to support this province to fight the epidemic.

With the number of cases in Hai Duong and at the end of the year, Dr. Truong Huu Khanh - Head of Infection Department, Children's Hospital 1, Ho Chi Minh City said that there are still good things:

Firstly, the epidemic occurred when the number of people traveling, tourism, and Tet holidays was not much. If the epidemic happens more than 10 days later, it will definitely not be able to be controlled because people travel a lot between provinces and cities during Tet. Just thinking about that scenario, Dr. Khanh thinks this is really a lucky thing.

Secondly, the new variant virus strain, hearing the rapid infection rate can be bewildering, but the rapid spread is the characteristic of the virus so that it attacks and penetrates the body faster. The shorter the incubation period, the faster the localization and suppression of the epidemic. With a time of 10 days, Dr. Khanh said that this time can completely control the epidemic because the new variant of SARS-CoV-2 virus has a shorter incubation period, 5, 7 days.

Third, a good thing that the epidemic can be controlled well is that Vietnam's testing capacity is much better. Compared to the previous stages, this stage we can completely control the testing. Expanding the test object is to stop the virus. If the virus is localized, the peak of the epidemic may be 1 week later and then gradually decrease.

Fourth, the cases in Hai Duong are all young people. Dr. Khanh said this is really a blessing because all cases were detected through interviews with F1 and F2 subjects. Currently, it is reported that only 1 case in Quang Ninh has been hospitalized when showing symptoms. If all the sick people go to the hospital for examination, then the epidemic will be extremely difficult to control. Until now, the medical community is most afraid of epidemics in hospitals and old homes (nursing homes).
