PLANS FOR CASES OF RECORDING F0 CASES IN SCHOOLS

In order to ensure safety in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in schools on the principle of “safe and flexible adaptation to, and effective control over the COVID-19 pandemic”, on December 03, 2021, the Department of Health and the Department of Education and Training issue the Inter-Sectoral Guidance No. 21306/HDLN-YT-GDDT on the COVID-19 prevention and control plans when detecting COVID-19 confirmed cases (F0), COVID-19 suspected cases, contacts of confirmed cases (F1), contacts of F1 cases (F2).

Accordingly, when F0 cases are recorded in a school, the school's pandemic prevention and control plans in case of recording COVID-19 infected cases shall be immediately activated; and such cases shall be reported to the local Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control.

Besides, the school shall notify and request the F0 cases not to arbitrarily move to other places, not to come into close contact with other people within 1 meter, to wear medical face masks and wait for instructions and treatment. F0 cases shall be instructed to move along the routed passage to the temporary quarantine room.

The entire school shall be temporarily put under lockdown and every class shall be requested to stay on the spot. Accurate information shall be provided to all staff, teachers, employees and students present at the school, so as not to cause confusion or anxiety among them. In which, the temporary lockdown of the area related to F0 cases depends on the movement of F0 cases (students, staff, teachers of one class or multiple classes); the lockdown scale can be the entire school, or each floor/study area, workplace, or classroom related to F0 cases; etc.
