VTV.vn - According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, the city's field hospitals will be dissolved as the pandemic situation in the area has been controlled.

Currently, fewer than 5,000 cases of patients are being treated in the city and the number of severe cases requiring invasive mechanical ventilation has continued to decrease (and is currently at less than 20 cases). There have also been no deaths due to COVID-19 recorded over the past 3 weeks.

The original functions of district field hospitals that were temporarily used during the peak period of the pandemic will be restored.

Districts must devise their own plans to reopen field hospitals in case the number of F0 cases rises again.

All hospitals in the city must perform 2 functions simultaneously, namely, perform routine medical examinations and treatment, and establish a COVID-19 Department/Unit to treat people with COVID-19 and acute/chronic disease or underlying comorbidities./.
