In recent years, the environmental situation in general, including climate, temperature, weather, and external sanitation . has been heavily changed. Therefore, viral and bacterial diseases are generally affected.

"One might think that the Arctic ice melt seems to be very far away from our illness. But that is a very close factor to the recent viral diseases in Vietnam. In general, and Ho Chi Minh City in particular, the melting ice makes the global temperature rise, thus creating good conditions for viruses to grow and multiply, "said Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Vinh said

In the past two decades, diseases such as AIDS / HIV, Ebola - African dengue fever, have erupted. Doctor Vinh thinks that when the environment changes badly, those diseases will appear and increase.

Typically, according to BS. Vinh, recently Vietnam is seeing all kinds of illnesses that seem to have retreated for a while, but are returning. For example, meningococcal disease or meningococcal disease Patients infected with Ebola virus in Africa (Photo: aerzte) bridge, type of infection caused by meningococcus. (Mening tissue is the name of a bacterium that is Vietnameseized - Dr. Vinh explained)

In particular, in the last two years, Vietnam has been infected by viruses or new bacteria, but mainly in the South due to the favorable climate and temperature. The disease develops and spreads in the environment with cramped, limited space such as kindergartens, collective houses, industrial parks .

Isolating patients when detected is the best way to prevent the spread of viral or bacterial diseases, especially in crowded places. However, this way of prevention is difficult to implement in places such as schools, kindergartens, factories, factories in export processing zones.

Therefore, since September 2005, Ho Chi Minh City industrial parks have at least 400-500 people infected with rubella. The disease is still smoldering in industrial zones because pathogens are still circulating in the environment.
