Recently, new COVID-19 outbreaks have been detected in several localities
bordering Hoa Binh province, especially 128 cases recorded in Phu Tho in recent
days. Hoa Binh has to date recorded 47 infections and is treating three patients,
and quarantining four people. The province has so far received 13,359 people
returning from very high-risk and high-risk areas, including 542 from Ho Chi
Minh City and southern provinces.
The province has received over 427,000 doses of vaccines against COVID-19. To
date, 432,470 shots have been administered, of them 349,844 people have
received one jab, and 55,827 have been inoculated fully. The COVID-19 pandemic
has continued developing complicatedly and unpredictably. Production and
business activities and circulation of goods have been affected significantly.
However, some people do not strictly follow pandemic prevention and control
regulations and, and human resources directly involved in pandemic prevention
and control in some places are not sufficient, and resources to support the
fight are limited.
At the conference, participants discussed and contributed ideas to the pandemic
prevention and control in the coming time.
Concluding the event, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and
Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Bui Van Khanh stressed that
although Hoa Binh is considered a safe (green) zone, the risk of pandemic
outbreaks remains huge, given complicated developments of the pandemic in other
localities.
Khanh suggested departments, agencies, districts, and Hoa Binh city base on
their functions and tasks to develop plans in accordance with the Government’s
Resolution No. 128/NQ-CP, dated October 11, 2021, promulgating provisional
regulations on safely and flexibly adapting to and effectively controlling the
pandemic.
The health sector was asked to coordinate with relevant departments and
branches, and the People's Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city to
organise mass testing in high-risk areas.
He also requested leaders of districts and Hoa Binh city to strengthen and
regularly direct the control of people through health declaration checkpoints,
and community COVID-19 teams; accelerate vaccinations against COVID-19 by
mobilising the participation of police and military units; and quickly provide
support for affected locals under the Government’s Resolution No. 68/NQ-CP./.
Local people across Hoa Binh province enjoyed the festive spirit of the 2025 Lunar New Year (Tet) with joy, cultural traditions, and heartfelt family gatherings.
During this Lunar New Year (Tet), residents of Vay Nua commune, Da Bac district are joyfully celebrating the arrival of spring with various festive activities. Along the main road of the commune, a newly installed solar-powered streetlight system stands out, completed just before Tet. Funded by Agribank Hoa Binh with a total investment of approximately 80 million VND (over 3,100 USD), the project has already proven beneficial. Not only does it enhance the rural landscape, but it also improves road safety and security, adding to the New Year’s cheer for the people of Vay Nua.
Nestled in Tan Lac district, Van Son commune boasts a breathtaking landscape reminiscent of a serene, poetic painting. Winding roads gracefully embrace the hillsides, enhancing the commune’s natural charm. As spring spreads its vibrant colours, the lives of local people continue to improve day by day.
The trade union of Hoa Binh province’s industrial parks has presented meaningful gifts to workers with difficulties, ensuring that they will have a warm Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's report, in 2024, the appropriate authorities regularly propagated and disseminated forest protection management, forest development, and forest fire prevention and fighting.
The Lunar New Year, At Ty, 2025 is approaching. The gardeners in the peach growing area of Toan Son commune (Da Bac) are busy transporting, bringing spring to every home. Throughout the villages, peaches are grown everywhere, gradually becoming an effective economic model to help the people have a warm and full spring with their families.
