One-third of the surveillance cameras were installed within five days, in 130 quarantine establishments in 125 communes of Bac Giang Province.
All data from the cameras is integrated into a centralized management system and can be accessed by various regulatory bodies at any time.
Through the camera system, the COVID-19 prevention and control agencies can monitor all activities in the quarantine facilities around the clock to minimize any developments that may aggravate the pandemic situation.
Viettel says it will continue to study to make optimal plans for strengthening the telecommunications network and adding Wi-Fi service to the COVID-19 quarantine centers.
According to Viettel’s Chairman and General Director Major General Le Dang Dung, Viettel has actively studied and deployed technological solutions to assist COVID-19 prevention and control such as the Suc khoe Vietnam (Vietnam health) mobile app, the digital health declaration form, telehealth system, and so on.
