Accordingly, to avoid the spread of Covid-19 in the city, this Department asks that all educational institutes increasingly monitor and update information on F0, F1, F2 cases while carrying out medical declaration, including the travelling history in the last 14 days, for all staff, teachers, students, and parents of students coming back to school after the Lunar New Year holiday.

In the event that there are people coming back to HCMC from isolated or lockdown areas in accordance to the announced list by HCMC Center for Disease Control (HCDC), they should be reported immediately to the local authorities and follow medical monitoring instruction issued by the healthcare force.

If all go well, schools in the city can open again at the beginning of March.
