On the morning of February 1, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui The Duy, Head of the Information Group belonging to the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Control, said that the team has more than 100 volunteers working directly in pandemic areas and thousands of volunteers to support to verify the infection data via online platforms.

The biggest challenge for infection tracking is the large number of people relating to outbreaks in Hai Duong moving to other localities.

Notably, according to Deputy Minister Bui The Duy, many people carrying COVID-19, staying in concentrated isolation, or belonging to F1, F2 infection groups in Hai Duong have been active in using social media to inform their acquaintances, thereby helping the Information Team to verify tracking in the fastest time.

"Many people do not worry about being infected themselves, but worry about transmitting the virus to others" - Deputy Minister Bui The Duy shared.

However, there are also many cases of COVID-19 infections or F1, F2 does not actively declare information, even do not cooperate with authorities, making it difficult for pandemic prevention. Sharing with reporters, Deputy Minister Bui The Duy said that only 1% of F1 confidently reported to authorities, 99% were found due to search results, which means the virus has more time to spread.

Therefore, Deputy Minister Bui The Duy hopes that those related to Hai Duong, Quang Ninh's recent outbreaks, those who have been exposed to the announced case, to quickly contact the health department for advice and sampling.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam called on people in pandemic areas, namelyChi Linh, Dong Trieu town, part of Kinh Mon district, Nam Sach district (Hai Duong province) to very well implement pandemic prevention regulations, while making the most of social media tools to support the Information Group, the Ministry of Health, the National Steering Committee for COVID Control and Prevention.

"This is not only to protect yourself but also for the sake of the country" - Deputy Prime Minister emphasized. Previously, on the evening of January 31, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam directly inspected disease prevention in Chi Linh (Hai Duong), Dong Trieu (Quang Ninh). Deputy Prime Minister believes that Hai Duong and Quang Ninh will stamp out the outbreak after 6 days.
