Speaking at the conference, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung urged state competent agencies to spread information of the disease to residents asking them to carry out preventive measures and turn them into their habit in family, workplace, and public places.

Moreover, local administrations must advise people to turn over all water storage containers to kill larva and conduct disinfection to prevent dengue.

Furthermore, all organizations and agencies must always take measures to stop the recurrence of Covid-19. People with coughing, high fever, sore throat must be discovered early for isolation and testing.
