According to the Ministry of Health, in April, a number of dangerous infectious diseases have recorded a sharp increase in the number of cases compared to the first 3 months of the year, such as Covid-19; dengue fever; hand, foot, and mouth disease. Currently, most countries have opened up and relaxed all measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic; along with that, the demand for trade and tourism of people after 3 years of the pandemic has increased greatly, especially during the April 30 - May 1 holiday, causing a high risk of spreading infectious diseases.

The Ministry of Health recommends that provinces and cities proactively monitor and closely monitor the epidemic situation in their localities; strengthen surveillance at border gates, in medical facilities and in the community to detect early and handle promptly, not allowing the epidemic to spread to the community; promptly report and immediately deploy response measures when the epidemic is at risk of breaking out in the area.
