We are monitoring the situation very closely," he added Park's remarks came as Vietnam recorded more than 9,000 new cases on Saturday The figure was 7,913 on Tuesday, the third day straight with over 7,000 cases following Saturday's peak Ho Chi Minh City alone detected 6,318 new cases on Tuesday, contributing to the surge Ho Chi Minh City, the country's largest city, located in the south, has been struggling to contain the virus despite a lockdown imposed since May 31 The national fatality rate shot up in July due to Ho Chi Minh City's wave "We have concurrent multiple clusters reported in many provinces that are occurring in multiple settings such as in major cities, in large industrial parks, in various hospitals, in residential areas and in quarantine facilities," Park said "There are still clusters and cases with unknown sources of infection and there is a very high risk of onwards community transmission," he added "In Vietnam, we continue to see an increasing number of cases and possibly additional new deaths," Park stressed "With the new strict measures that have been applied, we are hopeful that this will help slow down the spread of the virus, prevent the health system from being overburdened," he said The next few weeks will be critical for Vietnam to put the situation under control, he told a state media in a recent interview ANSWER SECTION 1: Through the excerpt "Vietnam fatality rate rises as delta COVID ravages Ho Chi Minh city", Mr Kiddong Park - WHO representative made marks on the mortality rate caused by delta COVID in HCMC Overall, the progressive vaccination in Southeast Asia is nowhere near fruitful as of the Delta variant, while in Vietnam the vaccinated rate is tardy The Delta variant, originally exposed in India and then in 124 different countries, predominates over Alpha variant in HCMC Statistically, Vietnam’s COVID cases reached the milestone of 9,000 cases on Saturday, followed by a slight decrease to 7913 cases on Tuesday, in which HCMC’s figure accounted for 80% Mr Kiddong Park expressed his concern over the probability of onward community transmission He hoped strict measures will reduce the virus circulation and prevent the health system from being overloaded The next few weeks will be critical for Vietnam to put the situation under control SECTION 2: It is undeniable that the COVID epidemic is becoming more and more increasingly complicated, causing the economy and people's lives to be entirely reversed New waves of unpredictable variants such as Alpha and Delta have exacerbated the situation in Vietnam In the current context of Vietnam, human rights are guaranteed by government regulations, and the state's measures are also implemented promptly and strictly In fact, this pandemic can result in a severe problem that can be tackled using appropriate government measures and public perceptions It is possibly said that Vietnam is perplexed about how to respond effectively to the current pandemic Both the number of infected people and the number of deaths change at the same pace during each wave Vaccination is still restricted to only a few individuals, failing to reach the majority since it must concentrate on important areas and prioritized subjects On August 20th, the dell toll in Vietnam stood at 390 cases Furthermore, the number of F0 outside the community has risen, surpassing the number of new cases in isolation and blockade areas In large communities, rates of transmission reached a grim milestone in a short period The country's top healthcare system has faced complex challenges due to the burden of hospitalized patients and a shortage of medical personnel Some medical staffs were unlucky to be infected, which is also the main reason leading to community transmission in HCMC The situation mentioned above can be seen translated to the seriousness of the disease Protecting people is both the goal and the driving force of development As a result, it is necessary to put human rights at the center and ensure no discrimination is tolerated so that programs and plans in this period can be highly effective in vaccination The right to live and social policies are also expressed through medical examination and treatment to disadvantaged groups For example, the "rice ATM" and "0-dong store" have been established to provide necessities during the current epidemic Furthermore, according to freedom of expression and the right to access information, Vietnamese people can fully receive transparent information through official governmental websites and applications However, the pandemic has also affected the right to freedom of movement and freedom of business stipulated in Article 14.2 of Constitutional Law 2013 Especially, plenty of large and small businesses have had to file for bankruptcies because they were unable to pay their bills without any income Despite this, the people, in general, have been unanimously supporting the maximum restrictions to prevent the spread of disease In such a situation, the efforts and determination of the Government in common with support policies are the foundation for protecting human rights In order to prevent the virus spread, people should strictly follow the Government's 5K rules including facemask, distance, no gathering, health declaration on disease prevention, and always build a healthy lifestyle by participating in sports activities and eating adequate and balanced diets It should also be mandatory to limit non-essential travel to avoid spreading the disease Therefore, we should raise awareness in terms of protecting ourselves in an emergency situation Everyone should stay updated about the COVID information and not be panicked by fake news Moreover, people should try to encourage their communities in donating money or supplying to charities that benefit those in need We are all in this together, and helping each other will make getting through this difficult time a little easier It is the government's responsibility to take more drastic measures such as strictening isolation, avoiding close contact among people, ensuring social security, enforcing social distancing restrictions and not leaving anyone behind While the authorities continue to speed up the vaccination drive in a bid to end the COVID outbreak, public security should penalize the person who does not comply with prevention measures deliberately—for example, handling acts of spreading fake news should be taken into serious consideration in order to stabilize security on social networks In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human lives and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health and human rights Therefore, as a part of the community, everyone should all take this responsibility for the well-being of humans
