November 19
Relevant organizations are emphasizing the prevention, control and treatment activities of COVID-19. Thanks to the State Administration Council, the infection rate of the pandemic plummets down less than three per cent at the end of October 2021.
Although the infection rate is not yet to reach three per cent in early November, such a rate stays between three and four per cents. Actually, if 15 townships facing the outbreak of COVID-19 are set aside, the whole country sees less than three per cent of the infection rate.
Currently, efforts are being made to reopen basic education schools, operate regular socio-economic machinery of the people, and resume halted works and machinery essential for the State and the people as the infection rate falls as expected. Hence, basic education schools resume academic measures in addition to the plan to start reopening of higher education institutions.
A special task force led by the deputy minister for Health was formed to effectively take preventive, control and treatment measures in 15 townships where the pandemic is still breaking out. The task force takes responsibility for control of the disease in three regions. Hence, the government is fulfilling the requirement and medical accessories for control and treatment measures for reducing the infection rate.
Meanwhile, the townships included in the stay-athome programme are being removed one after another depending on the infection rate. People from the townships are enjoying the fruits of regular socio-economic status. But, as the COVID-19 pandemic would not disappear in total, the people need to continuously follow the health guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health.
People should not neglect the relevant disciplines although the government eases the stay-at-home programme. So also, officials taking responsibility for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic need to supervise the process of battling the disease in line with the guidance of the Head of State.
That is why not only the people but also relevant officials should deeply strive for a continuous decline of the COVID-19 pandemic infection rate to less than three per cent for ensuring the smoothness of education and health measures as well as socio-economy of the people. If so, all the entire people would have the fruits of unity as rewards for their endeavours to prevent, control and treat the COVID-19 pandemic. GNLM
