On the occasion, Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Ho Hai gave medicine bags and pulse oximeters for all wards in District 8 and mobile medical stations to serve the health care and treatment for the Covid-19 patients at home.
There have been poor people living in rental houses and small alleys in the populous district with nearly 9,000 out of 15,000 coronavirus infections having performed home isolation and treatment so District 8 has been struggling with the pandemic management and control.

Mr. Nguyen Ho Hai appreciated the efforts of the local authorities in giving more supports to residents and establishment of isolation area in the locality. However, many Covid-19 cases have not had enough conditions to perform self-isolation at home. For this reason, the district needs to widen the isolation areas to receive more patients or they would be considered to be sent to the city’s isolation areas.
