According to Dong Xoai City Medical Center, right after the opening ceremony of the new school year (September 5), some schools discovered that students had pink eye. The schools have notified the City Medical Center so that medical staff can monitor and let sick students stay home from school. At the same time, measures are being taken to clean up the school and remind students to maintain personal hygiene. Do not gather students in the whole school, avoid close contact, and limit activities that can spread the disease.

Faced with the rapid spread of pink eye, the center and health stations of wards and communes have inspected and verified schools to grasp and assess the situation. In addition, they have directed and guided schools to immediately implement preventive measures such as: providing materials for schools to disinfect and sterilize; closely monitoring the disease's progress, promptly advising on effective preventive measures, controlling the spread of the disease and preventing it from becoming an epidemic.
In addition, the center also plans medical supplies and CloraminB chemicals to distribute to medical stations to disinfect and sterilize outbreaks to prevent the disease from spreading into an epidemic.
