A Vietnamese family of eight died on the same day after being infected with COVID-19. How serious is the local epidemic?

The epidemic in Vietnam is very serious. As of August 15, 9,580 people in Vietnam have been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus, and the cumulative number of infections has exceeded 270,000. The most serious place this time is Ho Chi Minh City, which has implemented social isolation for 38 days. The cumulative number of confirmed cases in the area has reached 140,000, including more than 4,000 deaths.

Details of a Vietnamese family of 8 who were infected and died one after another.

In Vietnam, a well-known netizen captured a video that lasted for more than a minute. In the video, four coffins were taken out of the same room and placed in an ambulance. At noon that day, four more coffins were pulled out. It is understood that the eight deceased people were members of a family and were pronounced dead when they were taken out. After seeing this, netizens expressed that it was too cruel. The virus that hit Vietnam this time was Delta, which is 1,260 times more contagious than the original new coronavirus. Vietnam was not as fast as my country in preventing and controlling the epidemic, which caused the epidemic to become more and more severe.

Has the epidemic been under control in our country?

The epidemic in my country this year broke out around July 20. Delta virus was first discovered at Nanjing Lukou Airport, and most of the infected people were airport workers. After the first patient was discovered, the airport was immediately blocked, but it still did not prevent the spread of the virus. This breach of lockdown caused more than 10 other provinces to also experience the spread. Now that the epidemic in Nanjing has been brought under control, mainly in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, I believe that this epidemic will end soon.

What should we do in the face of the epidemic?

First of all, take self-prevention and control, wear a mask when going out, try not to go to other places, and when staying at the airport, do not touch the surrounding items casually. Disinfect promptly after returning home and wash hands frequently before and after meals. In addition, get vaccinated as soon as possible. Many places have now begun to vaccinate children under the age of 18. Vaccination can establish an immune barrier and reduce the infection rate. If you are still unfortunately infected by the virus, the symptoms will not be severe.
