Background: WHO recommends that malaria drug should be used with essential elements which are derivatives of artemisinin (ART) for treatment phase and limit the development of parasite (MIC). Objective: To assess in vitro effect of artemisinin powder and 10 alpha- trifluoro methyl hydroartemisinin (TEMHA) in powder and tablet form to P.falciparum. Subject and Method: 48h in vitro test of Phuc Nguyen Dinh was applied to this study. Results and Conclusions: The results showed that: for T996, IC50 values of ART, 10 alpha- TEMHA powder and 10 alpha- TEMHA pill were as follows: 37.8; 16.4 and 17.6 nM/L, respectively. For K1, IC50 values of ART, 10 alpha- TEMHA powder and 10 alpha- TEMHA pill were: 22.8; 11.4 and 12.2 nM/L, respectively. MIC values of artemisinin powder, 10 alpha- TEMHA powder and pill for T996 were as follows: 100; 40 and 40nM/L, respectively. For K1, MIC values of ART, 10 alpha- TEMHA powder and pill are: 76; 24; 32 nM/L, respectively.

Objective: At the time of this study, the prevention of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) relied solely on nonpharmaceutical interventions. Implementation of these interventions is not always optimal and, consequently, several cases were imported into non-epidemic areas and led to large community outbreaks. This report describes the characteristics of the first community outbreak of COVID-19 in Viet Nam and the intensive preventive measures taken in response.
Methods: Cases were detected and tested for SARS-CoV-2 by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Contact tracing and active surveillance were conducted to identify suspected cases and individuals at risk. Clinical symptoms were recorded using a standardized questionnaire.
Results: In Vinh Phuc province from 20 January to 3 March 2020, there were 11 confirmed cases among 158 suspected cases and 663 contacts. Nine of the confirmed cases (81.8%) had mild symptoms at the time of detection and two (18.2%) were asymptomatic; none required admission to an intensive care unit. Five prevention and control measures were implemented, including quarantining a community of 10 645 individuals for 20 days. The outbreak was successfully contained as of 13 February 2020.
Discussion: In the absence of specific interventions, the intensive use of combined preventive measures can mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The lessons learned may be useful for other communities.
