Ha Long authorities have decided to experiment isolation of 2 people who come in close contact with COVID-19 patients (F1 individuals) at home at the area of Troi No.1, Hoanh Bo ward.

2 people who come in close contact with COVID-19 patients (F1 individuals) have been in the self-isolation period at home.

The household fulfilled all criteria of home isolation regulated by the Ministry of Health. The isolation period that 2 F1s must undergo started on October 28 and ended on November 6, 2021.

These individuals committed to conform to all defined regulations on Covid-19 prevention and control. The Ha Long steering board of Covid-19 prevention and control also asked functional forces to put these F1s under close monitoring.

This move acts as one of the city’s active measures targeted safe adaptation to the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the Ministry of Health, home isolation has advantages for both the locality and the F1s themselves. It reduces the risk of cross-infection and isolating at home is more comfortable. However, home isolation requires close monitoring by the local administrators and health workers.
