According to comrade Cao Huy Hoang - Secretary of the Dien Phuc Commune Party Committee, before the official announcement of her illness, Thai Thi Hang began to show signs of exhaustion. However, Hang was still enthusiastic in all tasks assigned by the Party Committee and the government. In particular, during the period of participating in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, Hang was a pioneer in connecting the departments, branches and mass organizations at the commune level, going to every alley and knocking on every door to propagate to cadres and people about disease prevention and control. At the same time, she participated in volunteer work at the district's quarantine area on two occasions of receiving citizens for quarantine.

To effectively prevent the epidemic, Hang and the Youth Union coordinated with organizations in the whole commune to mobilize businesses and individuals in the area to join hands in preventing and fighting the epidemic with an amount of more than 75 million VND and distributed 3,000 free antibacterial masks to people.
