However, the locality asked Ms. Ngan's brother to return to the army for examination, even though the family had presented a document notifying that her brother was participating in epidemic prevention and control at the hospital treating COVID-19 patients, so he could not come back.
Ms. Ngan asked, is there any regulation to postpone the military service examination in this case?
The Military Department, the General Staff responded to this issue as follows:
According to the reflection, Ms. Ngan's younger brother, who graduated from the University of General Medicine at the address he used, is waiting for a work assignment and is assigned to participate in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic at the field hospital; According to regulations, they are not eligible for temporary postponement of military service according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 41 of the Law on Military Service 2015.
Therefore, the fact that the District Military Command has ordered a medical examination for military service for her younger brother is in accordance with the law.
However, at this time, her brother is participating in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic at a field hospital, so whether or not to postpone the call for a medical examination for duty or not needs to be considered and evaluated specifically with the following factors: factors such as: Effective time of the medical examination call of the district military command. If during the above time period, her younger brother is participating in epidemic prevention and control at a field hospital, he may not be considered for medical examination for military service. At the end of the service period at the field hospital, there is still a period of isolation as prescribed.
On the other hand, the COVID-19 epidemic is complicated, requiring resources to participate in epidemic prevention and control; the case that her brother, because he had to participate in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic at a field hospital, did not perform a medical examination for military service, there is a good reason; Her brother had to make a specific presentation to the Commune Military Service Council and the District Service Council for consideration and settlement.
Through research, recently, Ms. Ngan's younger brother, Nguyen Minh Tuan, born in 1997, also performed a military service examination; His health was ranked 4th and his call to the army was postponed in 2022 because he did not meet the prescribed health standards for military service.
