whether Russia Can borrow the successful experience of the fight against infection “Vietnamese comrades”? once the Republic has learned from us all. And now, it seems, our time has come to learn from Vietnam.
Vietnam in size and number of people is not a tiny country like Singapore: 96 million population, 331 700 sq km area — I live pretty close. The coronavirus according to the principle of Italy was to put the Vietnamese in hospitals tens of thousands, but nothing happened. For the last 3 months of the epidemic in Vietnam COVID-19 were infected only 270 people, and none of them died. How can that happen if in the developed countries of Europe, Asia and America with the latest virus infected millions, and has already killed hundreds of thousands of patients? We, who lived in the Soviet Union, like the Vietnam certainly to hide or embellish information. But in fact all true.
the First case of infection in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam was marked 23 Jan 2020 — an old Chinese man from Wuhan city of China (PRC) came to visit living in Hanoi’s son, and had infected the poor fellow with coronavirus. Both put in Ho Chi Minh city hospital.
the Son was discharged after a week, father held for 20 days. Authorities breathed in unison, but then started to go back home the Vietnamese, who worked in China. By February 7 there were 13 patients COVID-19: the number of infected people rapidly increased. Shut down all the schools and the Communist party has set up headquarters to fight the infection — that started on the hospitals in the country to determine the readiness of the epidemic.
In no time it was purchased new equipment for hospitals (including ventilators) to mobilize the best doctors, an increased number of hospital beds. But Vietnam, unlike Japan or Korea, does not possess the quality of its medicine. However, the money did not regret. The cause of this reaction lies in the outbreak of SARS in 2003, then in Vietnam were infected 63 people, 5 of them died.
the Quarantine for starters introduced selectively: blocked areas of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city, where lived the ill and their families. The streets were patrolled by the military, the air launched drones with functions of electronic surveillance. Food people brought touchless, leaving the groceries at the door, pay for the power assumed by the state.
This is the Moscow that tourists came from Italy and spit on the requirements of isolation, went on to friends and relatives in Vietnam could not be. Law enforcement tracked the whole chain of contacts an infected, and by the way, tests COVID-19 there appeared instantly and everywhere: the government bought them in Korea, not paying attention to the high price. Officially banned out on the street without a medical mask. Masks shortly appeared��camping in all pharmacies at the lowest prices (in contrast to Russia, USA and Europe), and in April volunteers distributed them on the street for free.
Barely China December 31, 2019 reported the first case of infection of a new type, on the same day, the Vietnamese government stated: civil service, army and police must be prepared for major epidemics and the plan we need to consider now.
during the lightning-fast response and adopted harsh measures the spread of the coronavirus in Vietnam is very slow — the expense of patients going to dozens, not thousands like in neighboring China.
But the Vietnamese leadership did not consider it a success and laurels are not rested. It closed flights to hazardous countries and restricted movement around the country, cancelling long-distance buses. Quarantine of diseased Vietnamese was increased from 14 to 20, and in some cases up to 40 days. March 16, when the number of infections reached 60, in the Republic introduced universal self-isolation. From 1 April in Vietnam was no longer working, nothing, closed cafes, seaside resorts, disappeared from the streets of passers-by, locked the doors of shopping malls and cinemas. At the same time “people’s police” arrested one hundred and fifty people, spread in the Internet false information about the coronavirus, including the authors of the fake movie, as the Chinese allegedly fleeing EN masse from China to Vietnam. He was arrested the sellers of “miracle pills” advertised as a cure COVID-19.
Wishing to be in the camera any more was not.
“Rich South Korea could afford to pay people good money for sitting at home, start programs, tracking of patients on smartphones via apps — says the Vietnamese journalist Le Thanh Duc. Since Vietnam is poorer and not so technically equipped, we have introduced the “budget model” of the confrontation COVID-19, based on strict quarantine and the available funds have poured in the medicine. A huge plus was the reaction from the population. The people showed no resentment — say, in warm weather, not allowed to walk through the parks and fry the kebabs on the grill, and the choir was supported by the government: such a consolidation and unity in Vietnam I don’t remember since the war with America.” He played the role that Vietnam is a socialist one-party state.
the Vietnamese strangled the epidemic in the Bud. Over the last week, there was not recorded any case of coronavirus. 23 APR Vietnam officially announced the removal of many of the severe quarantine restrictions.
In large cities, merchants were allowed to take to the streets — cooking terribly popular here soup with beef, Pho Bo, fried noodles and sell fruit. Re-opened canteens, cafes and restaurants, private schools willing to accept students. However karaoke��ary, large shopping malls, zoos and stadiums are still under lock and key, and the citizens continue strictly obliged to wear face masks and to comply with the social distance of two meters. Specific areas of Hanoi that are defined by doctors as “dangerous”, the quarantine will continue until April 30. Prime Minister Vietnam warned people to relax while early.
the who Representative in the Republic of Kidon Park confirmed the success of the Vietnamese, noting the early response to the problem was the main success factor.
