The "green zone" model at the apartment building is effective against the COVID-19 epidemic

Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Dinh Tien Dung said that establishing "green zones" is a very important defensive solution in the fight against COVID-19. The government needs to provide specific guidance on criteria for defining "green zones", how to organize people to self-manage; assigned the community COVID-19 Team as the core, mobilizing people to participate in anti-epidemic activities.

In Hanoi, the epidemic is gradually being well controlled as the number of infections in the community decreases. Many areas in the capital, especially apartment buildings, have set up "green zones", creating entry/exit control points in front of each building to enhance inspection and ensure safety for thousands of households. Families live in apartments.

As noted at Thang Long Number One apartment building (No. 1 Thang Long Boulevard, Hanoi), the control points to protect the green area were established very early by the Building Operation Management Board. Immediately after receiving the official letter to establish a safety self-management team to prevent COVID-19 from the government, the "green zone" signboards in front of the building's gate were erected, forming a tight protective perimeter.

At Thang Long Number One Apartment, the "Green Zone" checkpoints have been set up, performing the task of controlling the COVID-19 epidemic.

Mr. Dang Thanh Hai - Representative of VISAHO Operation Management Board of Thang Long Number One apartment building said: "In addition to the community COVID-19 team, we also set up key teams at the gates of the apartment. All have staff on duty 24/24, control people entering / exiting the building every day, controlling the receipt of parcels from the outside, not allowing strangers to enter the area, checking and preventing people coming out. The road has no legitimate reason to require strict compliance with the regulations on distance; not allowing residents to arbitrarily transfer items from strangers into residential areas, early detection of epidemiological factors in the area to inform Notify the medical station for handling according to regulations…”

Mr. Hai said that the establishment of a "green zone" was supported and appreciated by local authorities as well as by residents for ensuring the safety of residents. "In order to support the establishment of the Green Zone, residents also support more necessities, set up a fund to donate and encourage staff doing key jobs," Mr. Hai added.

The "green zone" is done by the management team and with the participation of residents' supervision, ensuring strict and discreet implementation.

At the same time, it also creates conditions for households to exchange, buy and sell goods at the "online market" of residents, support epidemic prevention measures to minimize the risk of disease transmission.

At Hong Kong Tower apartment building (Dong Da, Hanoi), the "green zone" key was also set up very early when this is one of the buildings that have done well in the prevention of COVID-19 epidemic. The Building Management Board - VISAHO Company said that before the epidemic broke out in Hanoi, the building had carried out many epidemic prevention activities, especially setting up checkpoints to control people entering / exiting the building.
