Although very vigilant against the Covid-19 pandemic, which is becoming increasingly complicated and unpredictable; With all available efforts and means, leaders of agencies and businesses have put all their efforts to protect their employees and workers. But the SAR-CoV-2 virus is an invisible enemy. Just 1 minute of being subjectively caught off guard in life, living will make the whole chain of defense become ineffective?

On the way to work, carrying F1

Ms. T is a housekeeper and also a cook at Thuan An Wastewater Treatment Branch. As a single mother with a moderate salary, she also takes care of 2 children who are studying in Ho Chi Minh City. Loving their mother, Ms. T's two children also help out selling coffee outside of school hours to earn extra income with the desire to contribute to reducing the burden on their mother.

Customer is god. In difficult times, if a customer calls to buy, the staff will bring it wherever they are. On the way to delivery, T's daughter went to the Renaissance Mission Society in Ho Chi Minh City to deliver the coffee at the request of the customer. When the outbreak at the Renaissance Mission Society broke out, Ms. T's children were F1 and isolated at a motel in Ho Chi Minh City.

Knowing that there are relatives with employees in the F1-related system, company leaders asked Ms. T to declare and allow Ms. T to stay at home to self-isolate according to regulations. At the same time, quickly direct Thuan An Wastewater Treatment Branch to immediately implement the plan "stays where you are", blockade yourself to protect yourself, protect others, and at the same time report immediately to the local health agency for support.

On July 28, Ms. T's daughter changed to F0 and Mrs. T became F1, then she became F0. Since Ms. T's daughter was F1, the employees of Thuan An wastewater treatment branch were asked to self-isolate at work and then the branch was ordered by the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control, disinfection in accordance with epidemic prevention and control regulations. To this day, operations at the branch are still stable. Everyone is working normally in good health.

Unexpected things happen

Ms. T was taken to isolation when she was F1, until Ms. T tested positive for SAR-CoV-2, the locality quickly blocked and isolated the whole neighborhood to surround and control the infectious disease. Also located in this isolation area there are 2 drivers of the waste treatment branch. To ensure continuous operation, the waste treatment branch has assigned 2 other drivers instead. Since the replacement driver did not know the collection route well, the collection team that knew the departure route was separated with 2 new drivers to share the garbage collection work.

Among the collection staff accompanying the new driver, one is the milk tea owner's uncle living in Tan Phuoc Khanh ward, Tan Uyen town. Due to a birthday party, when the uncle went to the branch to work, he accidentally spread SAR-CoV-2 to 4 other colleagues who were working at the branch's garbage collection and transportation team.

Facing the unpredictable development of the Covid-19 epidemic, the company's leadership established the "Covid-19 Safety Team" very early and worked very closely and drastically. In the company's system, there are people with abnormal signs related to Covid-19 and the whole area must immediately self-isolate. Whoever is staying there, is not allowed to move along with strictly implementing mandatory medical measures in disease prevention.

Thanks to good prevention, monitoring and control of the situation, Thuan An wastewater treatment branch promptly isolated and isolated the source of infection, ensuring the safety of branch employees as well as normal operation. usually here. As for the waste treatment branch, there are 5 F0 people due to infection from outside, 900 employees here have isolated themselves, and urgently took samples for testing, all negative for the first time.

Lesson of caution

As a company specializing in environmental sanitation and collection, health safety and disease prevention are always highly appreciated by the company's leaders, anytime, anywhere. Regarding the two branches with epidemiological factors, it was found that: At Thuan An wastewater treatment branch, employees proactively declared and timely grasped the information, so they took the initiative to prevent and isolate so it's safe.

As for the waste treatment branch, operating in a sensitive field, susceptible to infection from household waste and medical waste, even though it has complied with the regulations on hygiene and epidemic prevention, it is unlikely to be infected through this route. Suspected being infected from the community, from family, specifically going to a party during the epidemic, so they did not know that the people attending the party were carrying the SAR-CoV-2 virus. So when he went to work at the branch, he spread Covid-19 to 4 other colleagues. Thus, up to now, the company has 6 employees who are positive for SAR-CoV-2.

Thereby, it shows that Directive 16/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on isolation and prevention of covid-19 is completely correct, ensuring the science of "stays where you are" in order to eliminate the way of spreading of the virus.

The most important and valuable lesson is education, reminding everyone, all family members, organizations, agencies and businesses when implementing isolation and measures to prevent covid-19 is to start Starting from a sense of responsibility, keeping yourself and those around you safe, not just doing it for the sake of your superiors' orders. Thus, we will not have to re-learn the painful lessons of others in disease prevention!
