Agencies and units should not be subjective about the Covid-19 epidemic.

The Military Medical Department (General Department of Logistics) - Standing Agency of the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control (PCD) of the Ministry of National Defense has just issued an official dispatch to agencies and units throughout the army regarding Covid-19 PCD work.

Accordingly, on May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization announced that the Covid-19 pandemic is no longer a public health emergency of global concern, but the epidemic is not over yet.

Although the Covid-19 epidemic in the Army is being well controlled; the coverage rate of the 3rd and 4th doses of the vaccine is higher than that of the community; the number of cases in units only have mild symptoms, the treatment time is short, and it is difficult to develop into clusters of cases or large outbreaks, the Military Medical Department recommends that Party committees, commanders, officers and soldiers of agencies and units not be subjective in the face of the epidemic; requests that all levels in the entire army continue to maintain the activities of the PCD steering committee; inform, propagate and educate on appropriate, flexible, effective and sustainable PCD measures; review and supplement the PCD plans of agencies, units and human resources, equipment, chemicals and consumables; have plans to admit and treat patients at all levels, ready to deploy when the epidemic situation becomes complicated.
