The results achieved in fighting Covid-19 are positive: Prime Minister

The results achieved in pandemic prevention and control are very positive and need to be further promoted, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh while presiding over a national teleconference on Covid-19 prevention and control on June 21.

The PM said the Covid-19 pandemic continued to be complicated, unpredictable, and difficult to forecast. He asked agencies and localities to clearly define the goal of preventing, controlling, and repelling the fourth wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and quickly stabilizing the situation.

A normal state could be returned to the country soon, serving the "dual" goals of preventing the spread of the pandemic to stabilize production and business with the motto of taking care of and protecting people's health as the first and foremost task, he said.

Regarding the implementation of the "vaccine strategy", the Government leader directed agencies to step up solutions to buy vaccines as quickly and much as possible. The transfer of vaccine production technology should be pushed up and promptly put products into wider testing. A detailed rapid vaccination campaign should be mapped out in all provinces, cities, ministries, and agencies, he said.
