Laos has seen a more than 200-fold increase in confirmed new crown cases in a month, what went wrong with their prevention and control measures?

After a major outbreak in India, the situation in its neighboring countries is also deteriorating rapidly, with Nepal having been reduced to a? Little India?



After the outbreak in India, the situation in its neighboring countries has also deteriorated rapidly, Nepal has been reduced to a small India? The author has previously introduced the situation in Nepal, today here will focus on our neighboring country Laos why the epidemic will suddenly deteriorate so much.

I. The current situation of the new crown epidemic in Laos is not good.

According to the official data released by Laos, the prevention and control situation in Laos used to be very good, basically only every three to five cases will be diagnosed, but since May 5, the daily confirmed cases have been close to 100 cases, the overall number of confirmed cases has been more than 100, and according to the current test results, the virus positive detection rate of up to 44%, which means that if you don't increase the measures, the follow-up will usher in a major outbreak.

II. The impact of the Indian outbreak on Laos.

India has set a new world record with more than 300,000 cases diagnosed every day. Although Laos does not have a direct border with India, due to the outflow of the epidemic in India, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and other countries have seen a rapid increase in the number of new official confirmed cases, Laos can not be left alone.

Third, Laos domestic prevention and control measures are poorly implemented.

Laos is one of the world's least developed countries, the domestic economy is mainly based on agriculture and tourism, medical technology is relatively backward, and there are not many hospitals and advanced medical equipment to do treatment and testing. When the new crown was raging, Laos learned from China's prevention and treatment methods and relied on a home quarantine system to keep the virus under control, but because of the need for economic development, Laos also opened its gates early to welcome foreign tourists into the country and did not strictly enforce the quarantine and observation system for incoming travelers, making it impossible to control the import of the virus.

Laos shares a border with China, and if the epidemic resurfaces throughout Southeast Asia, it is bound to have a big impact on our country as well. So people still do not let down their guard, do a good job of protection.
