Ben Tre Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has requested the company to compile a list of all confirmed and suspected chickenpox cases and submit a daily report to the district health centre until the outbreak is contained.

Following the CDC's directive, the company must allow chickenpox-affected employees to remain at home and only return to work after providing a medical certificate confirming full recovery.

Workers are requested to report immediately if they exhibit any symptoms of chickenpox, such as fever, blisters, or rashes.

The Ben Tre CDC forecasted that Alliance One Apparel Co.,Ltd. would experience an increase in chickenpox cases in the coming time, posing a high risk of spreading to other businesses in Giao Long Industrial Park.

The Ben Tre Department of Health has been called upon to enhance disease prevention and control measures. In particular, the CDC is urged to activate a rapid response team and be ready to support local health units and industrial zones during a disease outbreak.
