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./.
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.
