HANOI PILOTS HOME QUARANTINE FOR F1 CASES
This highlight is prescribed in the Official Telegram No. 23/CD-UBND on continuing to implement COVID-19 prevention and control measures in the City according to the new situation.
Specifically, from November 17, 2021, Hanoi shall pilot the home quarantine for close contacts (F1 cases) eligible for home quarantine under the Ministry of Health’s regulations and the Department of Health’s instructions. For ineligible cases, they shall be subject to mandatory quarantine at concentrated quarantine establishments or hotels (F1 cases must have a written request for voluntary quarantine at hotels approved by the City and commit to paying expenses for quarantine at hotels).
Besides, the concentrated quarantine period applicable to close contacts (F1 cases) is shortened to 14 days.
In addition, Hanoi also pilots the establishments receiving and treating asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients (F0 cases) in communes, wards, and townships according to the "four-on-the-spot" motto, that are established and run by districts and towns according to specialized instructions provided by the Department of Health; expands establishments providing treatment for asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 patients at district and town levels after the pilot period, etc.
