"I had to stay in the cordoned off area for over the past month. I’m delighted to be able to return home now. We tried our best to bring Covid-19 under control in the locality,” said Tran Thi Hong from Thanh Xuan Trung Medical Station.
However, after returning home, Hong and other people who served Covid-19 prevention and control activities in the ward have to experience a seven-day quarantine at their home.
The two first Covid-19 cases were reported in Thanh Xuan Trung on August 22. The pandemic then quickly spread to the ward with a total of nearly 600 cases.
After the lockdown was lifted, 1,100 local residents will be permitted to return to their homes after finishing a 21-day quarantine in the Hoa Lac area.
