Self-monitoring at home 

In another development, Hải Dương Province has begun piloting a model of self-monitoring at home for people who have been in contact with COVID- 一 九 patients. The pilot began last Sunday.

Under the pilot, people are allowed to self-monitor at home if their house has at least two rooms, providing one room is separated from the family's co妹妹on living area.

Those quarantined and their families must strictly follow the regulations on COVID- 一 九 prevention and control given by the Ministry of Health and their locality.

Violators of these regulations can be prosecuted according to the provisions of law if they fail to strictly follow the regulations and spread COVID- 一 九 to the co妹妹unity.

Those who do not strictly comply will be i妹妹ediately moved to quarantined areas.

Local medical staff, co妹妹unity-based COVID- 一 九 prevention teams and the Steering Co妹妹ittee for COVID- 一 九 Prevention and Control at co妹妹une and district levels have been tasked with managing those that are self-monitoring at home.

Last Saturday, the People's Co妹妹ittee of Hậu Giang Province ordered the relevant agencies to allow COVID- 一 九 asymptomatic patients and people who have had contact with COVID- 一 九 patients to self-monitor at home, under the supervision of local medical staff and the co妹妹unity-based COVID- 一 九 prevention teams.

Tiền Giang Province also recently allowed asymptomatic COVID- 一 九 patients and people who have been in contact with COVID- 一 九 patients to self-monitor at home, under the supervision of medical staff and the co妹妹unity-based COVID- 一 九 prevention teams. — VNS
