Vietnam will pilot a nationwide home-quarantine programme for F1 people who had close contact with Covid-19 patients.
The move was made by Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam following the Ministry of Health’s proposal.
At an online meeting on HCM City’s Covid-19 situation held on Monday, Dam said that he had received many opinions suggesting the home-quarantine.
At present, the pilot home quarantine is being applied in HCM City. People who come into close contact with Covid-19 patients can quarantine themselves at home for 28 days, but strictly following regulations.
Home quarantine regulations require a room separate from the family’s common living space or separate floor where possible.
The quarantine room needs to have its own toilet, bathroom, a thermometer along with other necessities.
People have to pledge to local authorities to strictly conform to quarantine regulations. They must not go out of the quarantine room and contact their family members as well as pets. They must be given separate meals.
They also need to make daily medical declarations through Bluezone or VHD. During the quarantine time, they are provided with five Covid-19 tests.
Local authorities are requested to closely supervise the home quarantine.
