and towns

To:
- Steering Committees for
pandemic prevention and control of districts, Thu Duc city;
- Center for Disease Control of City (HCDC);
- Health divisions of districts, Thu Duc city;
- Health centers of districts, Thu Duc city;
- Health facilities.
Recently, it has been recorded a sharp increase in
COVID-19 infections, most cases are asymptomatic or have mild clinical
symptoms, eligible for home isolation. This puts heavy workload on health
care workers at the health stations and causes troubles for the people.
The Department of Health requires all health
facilities, health centers, and health stations to urgently initiate digital
transformation in confirming F0 patients and confirming the completion of home
quarantine, in specific:
1. Hospitals,
clinics, health centers, health stations
Places where people with COVID-19 are identified
such as hospitals, clinics, health centers, health stations, etc., when
identifying people with COVID-19 who have no clinical symptoms or have mild
clinical symptoms. eligible for home isolation shall: instruct people
with COVID-19 to access the address: https://khaibaof0.tphcm.gov.vn on a
computer or smartphone with internet connection to “report F0 cases”. The
declaration will be recorded by the system and sent to the health station of
the ward, commune, town (commune level) where the person with COVID-19 is
quarantined.
Health facilities must strengthen communication on
all means of communication of their units (websites, bulletin boards, leaflets,
newsletters at health departments, clinical departments, etc.) to guide
how to declare to local health when having a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result
and quarantine at home via https://khaibaof0.tphcm.gov.vn.
2. Center
for Disease Control of City (HCDC): create contents and implement, guide
units to communicate with people on how to use computers or smartphones with
internet connection to “report F0 cases” when home quarantined.

Direct the commune-level People's Committees to
strengthen the commune-level epidemic prevention and control steering
committees; assign the leader of the health station to be the deputy head of
the steering committee and confirm the certificate of completion of home
quarantine (the certificate). And mobilize personnel to support the health
station to receive reports of F0 cases and issue a certificate to F0 person in
a timely manner, limiting the concentration of people at the health station to
carry out administrative procedures.
Direct relevant departments to communicate to each
person with a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 that they need to immediately
report it to the commune health station via https://khaibaof0.tphcm .gov.vn to
be received, cared for and managed.
Train related divisions on basic knowledge about
COVID-19 disease, instructions on caring for people with COVID-19 at home to
receive reports of F0 cases on the software.
4. Commune
health station
Assign specialized personnel in charge of receiving
SMS messages notifying the list of self-reported F0 cases; regularly log in to
the COVID-19 management platform to verify and receive the list of
self-reported cases for further care and management according to the guidance
of the Ministry of Health and the Department of Health.
Assign personnel to answer the phone (this phone
number must be different from the phone number that receives messages of
self-reported F0 cases) to receive SMS messages announcing the negative test
results declared by F0 at the end of the quarantine period ; log in to the
COVID-19 management platform to confirm the completion of the quarantine
period, sign and issue the certificates of completion to F0 cases in electronic
form via email or in paper form; limit F0 cases or their family members from
gathering at the health station to wait for the certificates to be issued.
In case the patient could not take the rapid
antigen test themselves to end the quarantine period, the health station needs
to arrange a separate area and specifically notify the patient about the time
to take samples for testing.
Based on the number of F0 cases and the number of
personnel members at the health station, the health station proposes the
commune-level People's Committee to mobilize more personnel to support the
health station to receive information on self-reported F0 cases and issue
certificates to these F0 cases.
The Department of Health requests the units to
implement the above regulations. Difficulties that arise during the
implementation of this document should be reported to the Department of Health
for support.
