(HBO) – Hoa Binh province had not recorded any COVID-19 infection cases as of March 22. However, the provincial steering board for COVID-19 prevention and control has still taken drastic actions in the face of the pandemic’s complex and unpredictable developments in the world and Vietnam.
Members
of the steering boards for COVID-19 prevention and control of Hoa Binh province
and Mai Chau district examine the preparations for quarantine at Mai Chau Ecolodge
on March 17, 2020.
The provincial steering board ordered local
media agencies, sectors, organisations and authorities to step up
communications to provide the public with knowledge about preventive measures
and organise disease prevention and control activities well.
In particular, it requested authorised forces to
manage and monitor all suspected cases who have close contact with confirmed
COVID-19 patients; seriously carry out check-up, quarantine and treatment for
patients; and prevent cross infection for medical workers and other patients at
healthcare establishments.
They were also asked to monitor people returning from
coronavirus-hit countries and regions, make a list of people having close
contact with those persons and needing quarantine, take samples for testing,
and provide self-quarantine guidance.
At present, 171 people are currently kept in
quarantine in Hoa Binh. They include two persons quarantined at the medical
centres of Mai Chau and Lac Thuy districts, 42 at concentrated quarantine
facilities, and 127 others at home./.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
