Director of the Department of Health Phan Huy Anh Vu said that the analysis results of the number of deaths due to Covid-19 in the province in recent days showed that most of the patients had at least one serious underlying disease, some cases have not yet vaccinated or injected with less than 2 doses of vaccine. Therefore, it is important to be injected with 2 doses of the basic vaccine to reduce the risk of severe disease and death. On the other hand, localities need to further improve the quality of operation of mobile medical stations to promptly monitor and detect high-risk cases such as the elderly over 50 years old, those with underlying diseases, who have not been vaccinated with enough 2 doses of vaccine, etc. to be quarantined, continue to monitor the medical facilities, and promptly perform the emergency treatment to minimize the mortality.
